The Dreggs Soothe the Soul With “Keepsake”

Sunshine Coast duo The Dreggs have been spreading more good vibes of late. The release of their last single “Call Me Home” was one of the pandemic’s highlights, and now they’re one of the first bands taking their music to the masses with an extensive tour. Those shows coincide with the release of their latest single “Keepsake,” which has definitely won my heart. Those dreamy nostalgia-drenched lyrics, gorgeous vocals, easy acoustic guitar sounds, I’m all about it.

“Keepsake is a track touching on the beauty of vulnerability and the importance of allowing people into our lives, regardless of whether they bring us pain or joy,” the band explained. “The act of wearing someone’s heart ‘like a keepsake’ is playing on the idea of wearing a sentimental object, such as a pocket watch or a pendant from a loved one.”

There are still a few dates left on The Dreggs’ “Keepsake” tour. Catch them at the following venues. Make sure you call ahead to check tickets are still available given COVID restrictions.

4 December 2020 – The Cambridge Hotel, Newcastle
6 December 2020 – Miami Marketta, Miami
10 December 2020 – The Factory, Sydney
12 December 2020 – The Jive Bar, Adelaide

The Dreggs Spread Sunshine With “Call Me Home” Single

In the time of COVID-19, there isn’t too much to smile about. That makes it the perfect time for a new track from The Dreggs. This Sunshine Coast indie-folk duo makes such sweet music, and their latest single “Call Me Home” is no exception. Those harmonies, the acoustic guitars, it all sounds so good.

“As a musician, it’s really easy to fall into the trap of making something that should be fun and simple, so complex,” the lads admitted. “‘Call Me Home’ is simply put a happy and energetic track that should be enjoyed lightly. Whether you’re road-tripping down the coastline, thinking about your lover, or just wanting to dance around the house, we feel ‘Call Me Home’ is the perfect theme.”

The Dreggs sold out thirteen shows on their 15-date Postcards tour this year but had to cancel the lot of them due to the global pandemic. While they hope top tour extensively later this year, for now they’re content with the few gigs available. Here are all the places you can see them doing what they do best in the coming months.
