Event Details

Following on from their appearance on triple j’s Like A Version, Dead Letter Circus have announced three intimate shows in which the band will perform as a full band acoustic / unplugged version of themselves.

Watching someone on their first listen to alternative breakthroughs Dead Letter Circus searching to come up with a neat description is fascinating viewing... "It's kind of like... no wait, it's more of a... Wow, I have no idea what it is, but it's different..." Part of the beauty of the soaring, sing-a-long choruses, chiming atmospherics and delay soaked tones of Dead Letter Circus is their escape from easy classification via labels or scenes. But with two #2 records, and Gold selling plaques on the wall, the message is clear - it's music that resonates. 

Dead Letter Circus have ascended to the forefront of alternative rock, their fresh take striking a chord locally and abroad, signing deals with Universal Publishing, The Agency Group for North America, The End Records in the USA, Triple Vision in Japan and UNFD in Australia. And while they may not be easily labelled, there is a certainty amongst the creative confusion... just one spoonful of Dead Letter Circus will leave you hungry for more...

Debut album This is the Warning hit #2 on the national ARIA charts and spawned 6 radio singles, with 2 commercial crossover hits One Step and Cage being added to major networks, and the album being certified Gold. 

With the last 4 national tours SOLD OUT, the band's videos getting international airplay, and huge stadium shows with Muse and Linkin Park, in 2011 the band lit up the main stage of the Big Day Out outdoor mega-festivals, and scored two songs in the world-famous triple j Hottest 100 Poll. 

More recently, DLC were voted into triple j's Hottest Australian Albums of All Time, toured the USA three times, played SxSW, sold out shows in the UK, were voted as one of Red Bull's Top 11 Rock Acts, a host of US rock and college radio stations jumped onboard, and Total Guitar UK ranked them in their Best Guitar Albums of the Year. 

Dead Letter Circus covered 'Killing In The Name' by Rage Against The Machine in their first appearance on triple j's Breakfast Program, Like A Version segment. Click below to watch. 

They also performed an acoustic version of their hit 'I Am' from 2013's breakthrough album, The Catalyst Fire. Click below to watch.

While fans of the band may be used to hearing the Brisbane-based five piece performing with layers and layers of guitars and drums, the stripped back translation of their songs is incredibly effective, as heard in the acoustic rendition of 'Lodestar' which the band released last year.

The three shows will take place in intimate venues in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne and are expected to sell out quickly.
