Having spent several years darkening doorways and gracing stages around the globe in other musical guises, SIN CITY were formed in the dusty desert streets of Spain’s Costa Blanca. Originally hailing from Auckland, New Zealand, the pair found themselves sharing a squalid room in the town of Alicante and spent several months writing songs inspired by their mutual love for outlaw country, barroom soul and rock ’n’ roll. From Marty Robbins to Mink Deville, Glen Campbell to Gram Parsons and Bobbie Gentry to Bruce Springsteen, they draw their roots from a gumbo of '60s and '70s country-soul Americana. With such influences worn firmly on their sleeves, SIN CITY weave their own stories of drunken heartbreak, road-worn revelry and cowboy-tinged murder balladry into these classic forms. Their live shows, either as a stripped-down acoustic duo or as a full 5-piece powerhouse, have quickly become infamous for their wild energy, wry humour and tender charm. Currently based in Melbourne, SIN CITY are quickly working their way to the top of the Australasian cosmic country-soul scene, with their sights also set firmly on broader horizons.

SIN CITY will be playing two sets in Beechworth: one in duo mode and one as a full band. Their debut album Welcome To Sin City, produced by Kiwi country music Svengali Delaney Davidson, is available on vinyl from 1:12 Records and streaming now on all platforms.
