Slowly Slowly Announce Acoustic Shows

Melbourne punks Slowly Slowly will be stripping their songs back for a few special acoustic shows to launch their new album, Daisy Chain, out this Friday. The gigs will be performed as a three-piece featuring reimagined songs from Daisy Chain and plenty of fan favourites.

The shows begin on Monday, 7 November, at The Vanguard in Sydney, the next night in Melbourne at The Night Cat, and close at Lefty's Music Hall in Brisbane on Thursday, 10 November. 

Stewart has revealed about the intimate shows: "With the help of our dear friend Sam Elliott, we have reimagined a slew of songs, both old & new, across vastly different landscapes. The songs have been stripped down to the feelings in which they started, enjoying some R&R in the piano-spotted dreamscapes we have newly built for them. Order a wine, wear something nice, it's going to be sophisticated. Real fucking sophisticated."

The vulnerable and expertly-crafted Daisy Chain follows on from 2020's Race Car Blues and 2021's Race Car Blues 2.

Alongside the acoustic events, Slowly Slowly are unveiling an accompanying documentary entitled Back To Basics, Back On My Bullsh*t.

The official documentary screening takes place this Saturday, 5 November, at Thornbury Picture House in Melbourne and sold out within minutes. If you missed out, fear not: Mandolin will host an online live stream on Wednesday, 9 November. You can purchase tickets here.

Back To Basics, Back On My Bullsh*t offers a uniquely intimate insight into the creative process behind the band's fifth album whilst being punctuated by explosive performances at the Forum in Melbourne. The hometown celebration signified a return to normality and a fresh perspective following lengthy COVID-19 lockdowns. 

About the documentary, Stewart says, "Oh, how one recoils when forced to watch themselves back. I guess this is why bands don’t do this sort of thing very often. But for those who follow us closely, for those who care about us as artists and performers, I imagine this will be of value. The last few years were as tumultuous as we have known, and it feels like a bookending of sorts to release this piece. 

"This serves just as much as a time capsule of where we are now as also a road sign to where we are headed—I think I quite like both. And most of all, I love our fans, and this seems like a moment we can celebrate them on screen, where they should be. We look forward to sitting in discomfort, surrounded by the comfort of those who keep us going. Wonderful stuff!"
