Join MAMA KIN SPENDER as they share new songs from their concept album PROMISES (out August 25), exploring love’s optimism, decay, rampage, and transformation.

Their sound is a raw fusion of garage, soul, and folk — driven by pounding drums, dynamic percussion, and blistering guitar.
Howling harmonies into the abyss, raging against the rot of the mundane, careless behaviours, childish reactions.

This tour is a rally cry to the heart — don’t miss it!

MAMA KIN SPENDER duo

"a triumph of classical singer-songwriter prowess" - Beat

"(there's) an aching humanity in their sentiment of the longing and deep necessity to be connected." - The Music

From the mouth of Margaret River, WA (Wadandi Boodja) to Victoria's rugged Mornington Peninsula (Bunurong and Boonwurung country), Mama Kin Spender is a rattle and hum call across the desert plains.

An ARIA-nominated duo of mischief-makers, MKS is Mama Kin (aka Danielle Caruana), a storyteller and dream weaver with a penchant for soul-baring; and Dingo Spender, a producer, songwriter and instrumental wizard. Long-time friends and collaborators, MKS combine drums, percussion and blistering guitar with lightning arrangements underpinned by harmonies that shimmer and smoulder. Exploring life's joys, bruises, stretch marks and scars, MKS possess a lyrical depth that pushes us to our far-flung edges.

With two releases under their belts, including ARIA-nominated "Golden Magnetic" and "Are You Listening?", a journey through grief, rage, reflection and arrival, MKS delve into life's complexities with vigour. MKS is an openhearted burst of sincerity, wonder and adventure. Their connection is primal, breathing soul and vitality into every space they inhabit.

From the song writing craft to the percussive beats, MKS will leave you clutching at your chest while stomping and howling.
