Restless Leg + Doldrums at Franks Wild Years
Event description
Sydney band Restless Leg (RL) was born as a 3 piece in March 2012 at a backyard party. Constant gigging through the rest of that year shaped a sound built on lean and direct song arrangements recalling classic Antipodean indie rockers such as The Go-Betweens and The Clean.
RL released their self-titled debut in June 2013 and follow up album Some Kind of Restless (SKoR) in October 2017, with guitarist Adam Taylor (Landspeed, Sam Shinazzi Band, JD & The Hungermen) joining the band shortly before the album’s release to play a series of SkoR launch shows. RL’s third album Dream Buffet (DB) combines Flying Nun indie-rock, Velvet Underground inspired drone and shambolic Pavement-tinged country and was released in June 2021 to widespread acclaim.
RL continue their winding musical journey to offer another twist of sparky indie pop on their fourth album Dance Around My Head (DAMH). DAMH walks the line between light and shade, fast and slow, loud and soft with the confidence of a band at the height of its powers and which comes from years of friendship and fun making music together.
Dance Around My Head is released digitally and on vinyl through Sinister Porpoise Records in June 2024.
