We’re excited to announce that overnight, New Jersey’s Screaming Females sold out their first ever Australian show in Melbourne. Today, we’re unveiling plans for a second show, at The Old Bar on Monday August 8, they’ll be joined by Shepparton Airplane (members of Peep Temple, Tankerville, Graveyard Train) and Swim Team (members of Bad Vision, The Pink Tiles)

Their debut tour of Australia comes on the back of their ten year anniversary and sixth studio album, Rose Mountain. While the trio also marked their 1000th show last year, they haven’t yet concurred everything and this tour will see them bring their blistering-yet-mannered punk-rock onslaught below the equator for the first time!

Fresh off performances with Dinosaur Jr. we’re so damn excited to witness this trio’s crazy onstage antics, mind bendingly crafty, shredding solos and the canyon-spanning vocals of Paternoster.

Hot tip: bring earplugs, or you’ll be screwed.
