GOOD BOY  

Listen - https://www.triplejunearthed.com/artist/good-boy  

One balmy Brisbane afternoon, Tom Lindeman began casually exchanging riffs on the couch with his best mate Rian King. Rian paused, put down his beer and picked up his bass to see what would complement it. They asked their drummer friend, Stu McKenzie, what he thought of it. When they glued all those parts together the final products ended up as their first two singles, 'Transparency' and 'Waste Days or Ease Your Temper'.

The two songs have since garnered consistent radio play from various stations including Triple J, RRR, FBI and 4ZZZ and has taken them across the east coast selling out launch shows in celebration of their 7-inch single release. Along the way they've supported the likes of Viet Cong, Jonathan Boulet, British India, The John Steel Singers, and North East Party House. To cap off an incredible year they've have been hand picked by Triple J Unearthed to open the Brisbane leg of St Jerome's Laneway Festival.

They are coming off the back of their April tour for their new EP 'No Love for Back Home' which was well received. Next month they also join the support lineup for Rolling Blackouts and after that, who knows?!
