Dear Seattle - 鈥榠dc鈥 Regional Tour
SUPPORTS: with Special Guests Late 90鈥檚 and DeadshowwsDEAR SEATTLE are taking to the motorways on a mammoth regional tour across Australia in 2024 off the back of their recent single 鈥榠dc鈥. An instant modern-day grunge classic, Sydney indie mavericks DS return armed with the anthemic new single, out now via Domestic La La.Packed with fuzzy guitars, nostalgic rock nods and catchy melodics for days, 鈥榠dc鈥 follows on from the quartet's recent upbeat outing 鈥楴othing's Stopping Me Now鈥 with lashings of heart and a criminally catchy chorus primed for group singalongs.Produced by long-time Dear Seattle friend and producer Fletcher Matthews (Trophy Eyes, The Buoys, STUMPS), 鈥榠dc鈥 cuts a sharply fun figure, with the latest track ultimately starting life as a joke, springing to life at the end of an extensive writing session. "idc started out as a joke," shares guitarist and vocalist Brae Fisher. "Our producer Fletcher and I had spent almost a month writing a song every day, and I think we both went a bit loopy and needed to blow off some steam. I was actively trying to write the worst lyrics I could for the chorus, which is where the line 鈥渨rite a chorus rhyme it with nirvana came from鈥... and we were just laughing the whole session. Annoyingly the song itself and the melodies turned out to be sick and our whole team loved it. The more I listened to it though, the more I realised how much I loved it鈥檚 message, namely that I need stop taking myself so seriously all the time, sometimes it鈥檚 nice to just be a dumb kid again.""Nowadays we鈥檙e constantly being polarised, judged and becoming more and more detached from each other in the process. It sucks. Life is tough. It gets expensive, it鈥檚 constantly demanding, and we鈥檙e surrounded by so much negativity that it鈥檚 hard to find the motivation to put on pants in the morning, so whatever you need to do to make it that little bit easier, just do it." Tickets to the 鈥榠dc鈥 tour are on sale now, catch Dear Seattle throughout May, June & July.
