Sophisticated Dingo

Sophisticated Dingo is a Garage Punk duo hailing from Melbourne, Australia. Childhood mates Jimmy and Lew draw on their observations of the world around them to create their brand of relatable and in-your-face guitar-driven music.

Following a stellar last 12 months, the pair are diving straight into the thick of it with their first offering for 2023: ‘With You’. The song, a relentless and driving single that draws on the potential life has to offer up a seemingly meaningless existence at times, where the only worthwhile thing to do is to spend it “with you”. Drawing on influences including DZ Deathrays and Cloud Nothings this is heavier territory than previously heard from the band while of course still showcasing the ear-worm qualities that have come to be expected and that are key to the Dingo sound.

2022 was full of high notes for the band with single ‘Morning View’ added to rotation on Triple J. The band also were featured as Triple J Unearthed Feature Artist and took out the Triple J Unearthed x NIDA video clip competition for their song ‘The Job I Took’. Amongst all this the duo somehow also fitted in national support tour slots with Beddy Rays, Dear Seattle, Press Club and Bakers Eddy not to mention two headline runs of their own across Australia.

Pushing forward with this momentum this first taste offers an entree into what is to come for Sophisticated Dingo in 2023.
