Holiday Party

Brisbane's Holiday Party release their debut self-titled album on Friday 3 July, along with jangly pop single 'Something That's Not Wasted'. Earlier in 2020 the band released 'Let Down' – their simple yet sparkly ode to being stuck in a loop, premiered via Home & Hosed on triple j. The song was added to full rotation on FBi and Double J.

Paired with the production talent of Luke McDonald and the warm vocals of Mel Tickle, Holiday Party seamlessly form intricately produced electro-pop tunes, driven by disco basslines, vocal hooks and sampled sonic embellishments.

Drawing influences from the likes of The Avalanches, Beach House, Animal Collective and JDilla, Mel and Luke have developed their signature junkyard pop style through homemade samples and love of pop culture. Following the release of singles 'Run Away', 'No One' and 'Dream State', the past few years the band have seen a stream of success. Performance highlights include Mountain Goat Valley Crawl 2018 and BIGSOUND 2019, whilst also playing alongside artists such as Jack River, Donny Benet, Cloud Control, Hatchie, Party Dozen and GL. The two have also received nominations in the electronic/dance category in both the 2019 and 2020 Queensland Music Awards. ‘No One’ was also added to Spotify playlists Broads Chords, New Music Friday AU & NZ and Indie Mixtape, and its video rage’s ‘Wild One Of The Week’.
