Aotearoa's fuzziest two-piece are coming back to Melbourne for a Thursday night blowout at Nighthawks. During February Earth Tongue are touring Australia with Perth swamp-rock legends Scientists - and they're stopping off in Melbourne for their only headline show of the tour. They're teaming up with local legends Heavy Amber and Spawn for a night of riff-worship and psychedelic debauchery.
Earth Tongue is a heavy psych rock two-piece band, currently based in Auckland. Guitarist Gussie Larkin (Mermaidens) is a master of the fuzz-smothered riff, and along with Ezra Simons’ off-kilter drumming, they’ve been sending punters into transcendental states since their emergence in 2016. Following the release of their debut album Floating Being in 2019 via Bristol-based label Stolen Body Records, Earth Tongue toured Australia, the UK and Europe, picking up praise along the way from BBC Radio6, Bandcamp and headbangers all over the world.
