SWIMMING BELL - Australian Tour
Monday 6th October 2025
Live at The Servo, Port Kembla.

SWIMMING BELL
w/ very special guests to be announced.

Los Angeles six-piece Swimming Bell bring their lush Californian alt-folk to Australia for the first time this October. Compared to a folk-era Sharon Van Etten, Meg Baird and Rosali, Swimming Bell is the musical project of Katie Schottland, a Philadelphia-born singer-songwriter whose ethereal melodies and intricate harmonies create a dreamlike sonic landscape.

"Lush, Laurel Canyon scenes given a 21st century makeover" - Clash Magazine.

Drawing inspiration from folk traditions, layered vocal textures and atmospheric production, Schottland crafts songs both intimate and otherworldly. Their latest EP, Somnia, produced by Rob Schnapf (Elliott Smith, Beck, Cass McCombs), deepens this signature sound, immersing listeners in an underwater dreamworld of floating melodies and percussive currents.

With influences from Laurel Canyon folk to modern indie experimentalism, Somnia showcases Schottland’s ability to blend warmth with mystery, nostalgia with newness. The EP is out via Perpetual Doom, a label known for championing unique and boundary-pushing artists.

Since debuting with The Golden Heart in 2019, Swimming Bell has built a reputation for evocative songwriting and transportive live shows, inviting audiences into a space shimmering and weightless, where time slows, harmonies bloom, and deep currents of emotion pull listeners closer. They've shared stages with Rose City Band and Bobby Lee(UK), and Schottland provided vocals to the Bobby Lee & Joe Harvey-Whyte single "Smoke Signals".
