About this concert
The Voice of Flinders Station will be putting down his station microphone and unleashing through the microphone of the rock stage once again...
Sordid Ordeal's debut album is finally here and to celebrate the band is putting on a huge show at Shotkickers in Thornbury on Feb 24th.
In addition to Sordid playing their magnum opus 'When I Left Town' from start to finish, the band will also be joined by a line-up of incredible bands and artists. Folk punk legends The Currency will be playing their first show of the year along with Celtic punk stalwarts The Ramshackle Army (featuring Sordid's violinist Kat O'Gotham).
Also joining the bill is hero of the renting class Purplepingers (Jordan Van Den Berg) playing a set of his signature folk bangers, and finally local two-piece rockers Echo Social Club.
Also joining the bill are poets Holly Hughes and Hannah Kingston for their first Australian shows of 2024, returning from their native Ireland.
This show and the album catapults Sordid Ordeal in to the heart of Australia's musical landscape as they begin to campaign this gargantuan record and define their sound

Sordid Ordeal Biography
Sordid Ordeal are a colossal rock band from Naarm (Melbourne, Australia), a musical tour de force and foundation band of the Stout Rock genre. Their sound is an amalgamation of folkish story-telling & ballads with blistering, mangy rock and epic anthems. They weld together the abrasive & heavy with the gentle & intimate, creating an incendiary mix of subversion and hedonism.
Sordid released their first EP ‘Great Ocean Road’ at the beginning of 2020, right on the cusp of Australia’s Covid lockdowns and border closures, propelling the title single into a lockdown anthem and road trip favourite.
The band spent the Covid period recording their first and second albums and when restrictions lifted they embarked on two interstate east coast tours in preparation for the album release
Their debut album ‘When I Left Town’ was released in February 2024 and premiered on the Australian Independent Record charts at #8. Launched to a capacity crowd in Melbourne, the record drew critical acclaim from Triple M Radio, Heavy Mag and several other publications.
The band is now preparing to release their follow-up album ‘Nothing Was The Same Again’, due to be unleashed in October 2024
