The Mouldy Lovers

The Mouldy Lovers are a 7-piece band whose unique sound incorporates a range of genres including folk, punk, ska and world music. This blend of styles truly comes to life on stage, and it is the band’s live show that has earned them a reputation as one of Brisbane’s most high energy and exciting acts.

Boasting a three piece horn section, drums, guitar, piano accordion and bass, The Mouldy Lovers have bombarded festival stages across Australia including Queensland Music Festival, Brisbane Festival, Falls Music and Arts Festival, Wallaby Creek Festival, Caloundra Music Festival, Island Vibe, Darwin Festival and more. The band have also toured up and down the east coast of Australia numerous times, supporting international artists such as The Skatalites (Jamaica), Babylon Circus (France), Neville Staple (The Specials, UK) and Hot 8 Brass Band (USA) as well as home grown acts including Sex on Toast (Melbourne), The Crooked Fiddle Band (Sydney) and Cheap Fakes (Sunshine Coast).

In 2015 The Mouldy Lovers released their sophomore album Mondegreen, Recorded by local producer Paulie Bromley (George, The Beautiful Girls) and premiering on Triple J’s Roots n' All, the album has received radio support locally, nationally and abroad, claiming album of the week on 4ZZZ and spending 7 weeks in the station’s Top 20 charts. Mondegreen has also received critical acclaim, with reviewers labelling it "fast-paced and horn-driven” (Dylan Stewart, The Music) and "a record that has the breeding and the skill to conquer Australia and even the world” (Chris Cobcroft, Music Director at 4ZZZ).

2016 saw the release of Civilised Crossfire to positive praise from the Australian music scene including another premier through Triple J, peaking at #5 in the AMRAP metro charts upon release, #50 in the 4ZZZ Hottest 100 and a finalist nomination in the World category at the Queensland Music Awards.

Recently returning from Japan on their first international tour, The Mouldy Lovers are gearing up to head straight back out on the road for their biggest Australian tour to date. In celebration of their most recent release Boondock (due out mid-September) the seven piece will be performing up and down the east coast including Tasmania as well as Jungle Love, Island Vibe and Tablelands Festivals.
