[vc_row][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=”14 October, The Lansdowne Hotel” color=”white”][vc_column_text] Nipple tape – that’s really the only introduction to These New South Whales that you will ever need.

Times may change, but thankfully, music spins around […]

Where did the name come from and how did you start out? In 2012 we got wasted at a gig. Afterwards everything was shutting so we ended up having a jam at 3am under this random house. Not long after […]
