Baby Animals were the real surprise packet of this year’s Red Hot Summer shows for me. They were one of the only acts I’d never seen live before, and their blistering sets made me wonder why I’d left it this long. Suze deMarchi oozes cool and the band is one of the tightest I’ve ever seen. I also appreciate that they weren’t like so many other acts resting on their laurels. Trading on nostalgia is easy, but bringing new music to an audience takes balls. The new single “Tonight” was a highlight of the set, a track I wanted to make sure you all wrapped your ears around.
Baby Animals do too, so they’re touring the country as headliners to support its release. Expect to hear more tracks from their forthcoming EP along with all your old favourites at the following shows.

23 June 2018 – The Gov, Adelaide
