Absolute titans of the Australian indie world, The Jungle Giants, have announced a series of upcoming performances across the country following the release of new single Trippin Up.
For local fans, the best chance to see the band live will be Thursday 8 June at The Tivoli in Brisbane (with their Friday show already sold out), and Saturday 10 June at Dreamworld on the Gold Coast.
Known for explosive live performances, The Jungle Giants have earned a reputation for producing genre-bending music that gets people moving. Trippin Up is no exception, with its playful earworm of a melody that has had fans hooked from the very first listen. Vibrating between electro-pop and indie-rock, the band continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in music.
Last week, young gun Odd Mob brought his deft touch to the drum and bass banger with a remix of Trippin Up. With the original reaching number one most played at Triple J, rumour has it Odd Mob also played the remix live at his Coachella set ahead of release.
Following the success of their 2021 #1 ARIA Chart-topping fourth album Love Signs, The Jungle Giants have cemented their place as a dominant force in Australian music and are now seeing their reach expand globally. The last year alone has seen the band headlining festivals and selling out tour dates from hemisphere to hemisphere. So far in 2023, The Jungle Giants have played Okeechobee and M3F festivals in the United States, as well as Laneway Festival and a headline tour run through Mexico.
Lead vocalist Sam says he is thrilled with the response to Trippin Up and can’t wait to perform it live. ‘It all began with a dive into some aspects of electronic drum production that were so fun to experiment with. Can’t wait to see that drop live baby.’
As the Australian music scene continues to thrive, The Jungle Giants remain at the forefront of innovation and creativity. Just ask Triple J about their triumphant 2022 Splendour main-stage performance – the Jungle Giants weren’t Splendour headliners, but they sure felt like it.
Thursday 8 June – The Tivoli, Brisbane
Friday 9 June – The Tivoli, Brisbane
Saturday 10 June – Dreamworld, Coomera.
