Rock band Vanns off the wall
NEW South Wales indie rock band The Vanns is taking a trip up north for the final leg of their regional tour for an unforgettable headbanging night at Edge Hill Tavern this April.
Touring with their latest 2023 album Last of Your Kind, The Vanns are coming up to Cairns for the second time on April 6 for an exciting night of live music and some of the bands’ most popular hits like Fake Friends.
Bassist Tom Switlek said the band was eager to meet their FNQ fans for a second time.
“We have 21 dates starting in Melbourne and finishing up in Queensland so it should be lots of fun,” he said.
“We played the Edge Hill Tavern before two years ago, so we’re excited to be back, we’re expecting it to be a ball, it’s not even work, just a good time.”
With their latest album ‘Last Of Your Kind’ charting at #8 on the ARIA Albums Chart, #2 on the Australian Albums Chart, as well as being long-listed for the Australian Music Prize, the four-piece band will go through some of their biggest and most loved hits paired with some of the best songs of their new album.
“We define ourselves as a live band, so our fans can expect a high energy performance, it’ll be loud, live and a good time,” Mr Switlek said.
“There’s a few favourites that we’d love to play in Cairns. Fake Friends is always a good one, that will definitely get played, and from the new album Settle Me Down is really fun, especially the second half of the song and Haunted is always fun as well.”
“What we love about playing up in Cairns is that everyone gets into it, there’s nothing better than being on stage and watching the audience react beyond just standing there and watching and Queensland fans always enjoy it and sing and dance around, so that’s what we’re most excited about.”
Mr Switlek invited everyone to come to the Edge Hill Tavern this April and enjoy some loud live music.
“Every time we have a bit of a break here and there it’s not fun so we’re happy to be back and keep the ball rolling and keep playing,” he said.
“We’ll be going to the studio soon to work on our third album but for now if you are into loud music and want to have a good time, come drink some beers with us and have a dance.”
