As the world we know enters another revolution into the unknown, from the depths of shadow emerges a force, an energy, spanning oceans and crossing continents like never before… a mission through time and space to bring the sound of cold water California to the ears of Australia.
Bundjalung mystics Couch Wizard hit the road with Santa Cruz’s Return to Nagoya (USA) for a once-in-a-lifetime sonic quest to bring balance of light and darkness to the far corners of Australia under the steam of new single Dwell.
Known for their high-energy, ritual-like live sets, the Wizards take listeners on an eerie, theatrical journey through time and space. Slow, melodic intros give way to crushing riffs, painting mystical scenes of smoky mountains and volcanic fury which has seen them play alongside the likes of Wolfmother, Miniskirt, Dumb Punts and Downgirl and appear at events such as A Bit Grim, Ancient Gates, Psych Lords, Mitchell Creek Festival, Bluesfest and many more.
With a sonic palate for fans of Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Sleep, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Hobo Magic, their spellbinding performances will leave you questioning how an hour could feel like a single song.
The band’s upcoming Thrash Magick Australian Tour will span most of the country’s habitable population centres, offering 13 shows nation-wide in the band’s most expansive tour offering to date. Joining the tour for QLD/NSW/VIC dates are Santa Cruz California’s Return to Nagoya, a three piece Rock’n’Roll band known for its Kyuss-like riffs and powerful vocals. Fresh out of the studio and travelling to Australia for the first time as a group, RTN will showcase a host of new songs along with popular tracks that have appeared in various Surf docos around the World.
