June Jones (Naarm) "Would that it were a fortress" EP launch

June Jones is celebrating the release of her new EP, Would that it were a fortress, with her first headline tour since a run of nine shows at the end of 2022.

She'll be playing a Sydney show alongside LILPIXIE (+ special guests TBA) at beloved Redfern queer institution, The Bearded Tit, less than a month before it sadly closes its doors for a final time.

Entry is free for First Nations people.

Something like a pop artist, June Jones makes expressive left-field pop music from inside her minimal home studio. An itemised summary of her primary fragments might read like this: June Jones is a confessional singer, fictional songwriter, elaborate producer, and embodied performer. Making her home in the gradient between so many seemingly contradictory concepts, she embraces her work's idiosyncrasies, letting her disparate musical references be as autobiographical as the words she sings.

This year so far has seen her performing at Mardi Gras, Dark Mofo and Leaps and Bounds, as well as releasing three singles – Be Honest, Bachelorette, and Eyes on Me – off her upcoming EP, Would that it were a fortress, out through EPR on 29 Aug. Previous releases of hers have received album of the week from radio stations across the country, as well as nominations for multiple Australian and Victorian music awards. Jones has toured so-called Australia multiple times, both as headliner and support, performed shows in London, and taken part in the World Pride Songhubs and One Off Traks songwriting camps.
