If you’ve caught CTBNF before, you know exactly what you’re in for — lush arrangements, soaring hooks, sax breaks that feel like a hug, and frontman Lachlan Rose wearing his entire heart onstage.
Their live show is a full-body experience: part dancefloor, part catharsis, part chaos, all charm.
And after a run of packed headline shows and festival slots, the band are back doing what they do best: reconnecting with regional crowds, room by room, night by night.
The BC’s bandroom is already a rite of passage for both up-and-comers and cult favourites — and Cousin Tony are guaranteed to bring a full-house, full-volume kind of night. If their recent shows are anything to go by, expect new material woven alongside fan favourites, all wrapped in that warm, cinematic indie-rock glow.
If you needed an excuse to gather the troops for a mid-tour emotional release disguised as a night out, this is it.
Grab your tickets, hit follow on the BC for updates, and get ready to welcome Cousin Tony’s Brand New Firebird back to one of regional Victoria’s most iconic bandrooms.
