Arugula (QLD) bring their floaty 60s, psych sounds to Narrm (Melbourne) for the first time, in support of their new single Bask in The Sun. The band will share the stage with local psych heads Polly and the Pockets, VISA (First Show) and Banana Lounge (Nick Van B/Bananagun).
The new single Bask in The Sun is a Bo Diddly-esque rhythmic assualt about flourishing and new found growth. The tune features soothing mellotron flutes, mosquito like fuzz, ethereal vocals, stuttery tremolo guitar.
Arugula have shared the stage with the likes of The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Nice Biscuit, The Beths, Suprise Chef and plenty of other amazing performers. In 2023 the band released their 2nd EP The Rocket Club in june and released a lone zamrock/afrobeat tune Be Open Now! late in the year.
