Piggietails + Sour Worm at Franks Wild Years

Piggietails and Sour Worm are hitting the road this February! Two bands made up of friends, family, lovers. They’ll be driving up from Naarm for a short run of shows because…well why the hell not? Join them to celebrate jumble pop, mellow riffs and good old friendship.

Built on friendship and an initial relaxed approach to songwriting towards the end of 2023, Piggietails have slowly but surely slotted their way into the local Melbourne music scene, playing with the likes of Cool Sounds and Mess Esque.

Taking notes from 80s Australiana guitar pop, the indie rock stylings of Yo La Tengo and a splash of the revivalist jangle of the naughties, the band pull the best bits from every era creating lyrically engaging simplistic songs that still manage to pull you into their personal world, humorously described by the band as “everyday music”.

Sour Worm is the solo project of Jasper van Daatselaar. Beginning in 2023 from the tiny bedroom of a ramshackled share house on Rathdowne Street, heartfelt stories of burps, forks, and teeth are scattered through the three albums released so far. Sometimes electronic, sometimes rocking, always from the heart. 

With a live band made from two sets of almost twin siblings, the Sour Worm Family Band has something for everyone, from gentle jangly singalongs to full-band rock jams. Sonically, there are no boundaries for Sour Worm. Whatever feels right.
