New single, 'Sunburned in London', released on Feb 2nd, finds the quintet - comprised of Fran Keaney, Joe White, Marcel Tussie and brothers Tom and Joe Russo - at the peak of their powers. Led by Tom Russo's understatedly emotive vocal, its six-minute-plus runtime is bathed in washes of mesmeric guitars and gossamer group vocals that are driven ever onward by the propulsive rhythm section of Tussie and Joe Russo. It's a beguiling epic-in-miniature, presenting Rolling Blackouts C.F. at their expansive best in the spirit of hallmarks of the band's canon from 'Fountain of Good Fortune' to 'Cars in Space'.
Following the band's recent comeback shows, which included a stop at Northcote Theatre which sold out in less than two minutes, Rolling Blackouts C.F. also announce a very special show at Hotel Brunswick on Friday 19th June.
Across two EPs and three albums - 2016's Talk Tight, 2017's The French Press, 2018's Hope Downs, 2020's Sideways to New Italy and 2022's Endless Rooms - Rolling Blackouts C.F. have joined a lineage of Australian bands bold enough to marry the country’s evocative landscapes with the urban romance, passions and politics of its characters. A relentlessly ambitious, cinematic group, they've become one of the most celebrated artists of the past decade, racking up countless rave reviews at press, innumerable radio playlists and touring across the world playing at festivals from Primavera Sound to Coachella to Lollapalooza.
