Soaked Oats

New Zealand’s indie sludge-pop rockers Soaked Oats return to Melbourne to play at the Grace Darling Hotel on June 29 in celebration of the release of their new EP Sludge Pop, out June 14th via Australian indie label Dot Dash Records. This show comes hot on the heels of Soaked Oats’ appearance at well-renowned UK festival ‘The Great Escape’, as well as the band’s first headline show in London. Soaked Oats are a young four-piece band hailing from Dunedin, New Zealand who have been described as “a southern stew of Kurt Vile and Mac DeMarco with a good shake of Kevin Morby”. Since forming in 2017, Soaked Oats have come to notoriety for writing songs about stoned fruit (‘Avocado Aficionado’, ‘I’m a Peach’), and have have become known for endearing live performances showcasing the bands penchant for joyous songwriting and high energy shows. "There’s something infectious about their sound; it’s happy, it’s relaxed and a little bit cheeky.” - Pilerats
