Deep Friars

We're coming up on the end of 2023, and we have one last bash planned. We'll be at MONA - Museum of Old and New Art on the lawns from 12-2 this Sunday. This one's for all our friends who haven't been able to make it to a weekend show. Sit down on the grass, enjoy the warmer weather, and listen to some math rock. Go on. You deserve it. 🍟

Very excited to be joined by our friends , who are down from Launceston to deliver some alt/post/punk goods and tell us Boags is better and how you don’t need beaches if you have ThE gOrGe. .threw.that are itching for a run after several months off, so get your dancing shoes on for the pedalboards alone. Also extremely pumped to catch , who are absolute dears and will open up the pit in the most wholesome manner imaginable.

Song of Ascents, by Deep Friars track by Deep Friars

Deep Friars updated their website address.

Hello friends!

Our first single, which has yet failed to be released... (more on that)... will be getting its premier tonight on Edge radio sometime after 7pm along with a bunch of other cool home grown stuff, including new stuff! (heck yeah)..
About the single... the tune went up pretty close to the expected release date and we missed the “x business days” clause, oops. In any case, sometime between now and the 30th, it’ll drop, and we don’t even know when so it’ll be a surprise for us too! 😅

So hey, if you see it pop up, give us a hoy, otherwise we’ll be ringing the bells when it lands and we’ll see you on the 26th for a look at everything else we have in stock.

Yours truly,
The Friars
