The Slingers have cemented themselves as one of the most unique bands of the contemporary Australian underground/alternative scene. To celebrate the long-awaited release of their debut full-length LP Sentimentalism, due out July 7 via Flightless Records, they embark on their biggest tour yet, bringing their impassioned live performance to Tanswells Hotel. The Slingers have sought through their music to balance and synthesise a number of oppositional artistic forces: lyrics that are both tongue-in-cheek and haltingly sincere, live energy that borrows simultaneously from Elvis and Angel Olsen, and a sound that is as comfortable producing outlaw country as it is exploring drum machines and synthesisers.

Supporting on the night will be Beechworth's own Grommett Lloyd and returning troubadour Buddy Dingo.
