We just added an additional Melbourne show!! Tickets on sale XMAS day at midday!!

In January 2019 The Body will be making it down to Australia for their first broader Australian tour, having only played an exclusive Dark Mofo show in Hobart in 2015.

The duo of Lee Buford and Chip King defy the constraints of what it means to be a “heavy” band, seamlessly combining composition or production approaches from hip hop, pop, classical, as well as rock and electronica resulting in a rich and utterly singular sound. Equally at home on festival stages, art spaces, or in DIY basements, they transcend musical boundaries. Their ambitious creativity shapes their bleak worldview into propulsive, affecting, and even danceable music often drenched in distortion.

The Body are known for their intense, abrasive live shows, whose waves of dissonance create an abiding dread or an overwhelming sense of terror. They create a volume of sound almost unfathomable from a duo and are unaffected by instrument choice: guitar and drums, or keyboard and synthesizers.

The Body will be joined at this show by:
