Couch Wizard Australian Tour - Melbourne

Bundjalung mystics Couch Wizard hit the road with Santa Cruz’s Return to Nagoya (USA) for a once in a lifetime sonic quest to bring balance of light and darkness to the far corners of Australia under the steam of new single 'Dwell'.

Known for their high-energy, ritual-like live sets, the Wizards take listeners on an eerie, theatrical journey through time and space. Slow, melodic intros give way to crushing riffs, painting mystical scenes of smoky mountains and volcanic fury which has seen them play alongside the likes of Wolfmother, Miniskirt, Dumb Punts and Downgirl and appear at events such as A Bit Grim, Ancient Gates, Psych Lords, Mitchell Creek Festival, Bluesfest and many more.

With a sound inspired by the likes of Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Sleep, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Hobo Magic, their spellbinding performances will leave you questioning how an hour could feel like a single song.

Santa Cruz California’s Return to Nagoya is a three piece Rock'n'Roll band known for its Kyuss-like riffs and powerful vocals. Fresh out of the studio and travelling to Australia for the first time as a group, RTN will showcase a host of new songs along with popular tracks that have appeared in various Surf docos around the World. 

Join the tour, ride the wave, pull the trigger and hold onto your butts as the sonic experience of these bands hits you right in the kisser and takes you beyond the barrel, to the depths of the deepest ocean and the centre of the desert that is your soul.

If you think you’re ready... think again. This is live music at its most volatile, wild, unhinged and unforgettable. See you in the pit.
