Award-winning, genre-bending Meanjin 8-piece TYDE return to Naarm to celebrate their highly anticipated debut EP 'Red Moon' at The Retreat on August 3rd. They have earned a reputation as one of Queensland's best live bands, honing their performance across lineups including Woodford Folk Festival, Brisbane International Jazz Festival and Bluesfest Byron Bay, and have taken out the 2025 QUBE Effect best 'Live Event' Award.
'Red Moon' is a collection of 7 entirely live-recorded songs, brandishing a rich soundscape that ebbs and flows between jazz, prog, pop, funk, and folk. With a truly genre-fluid sound, their intricate arrangements and improvisation sections create an energetic live show that has been described as a "dynamic prog odyssey". TYDE will have you both grooving to infectious hooks and trying to work out what time signature you're dancing to. Their repertoire calls to mind artists like WILLOW, The Cat Empire, COVET, Hiatus Kaiyote, Vera Blue, and Franz Ferdinand. Playing alongside TYDE will be Naarm-local Bailey Judd. Bailey Judd, known for his ridiculous musical proficiency, determination to be the master of all trades, and penchant for wearing his heart on his sleeve, once again shows us why he is renowned and respected within the Melbourne music scene.
With an unrivalled ability to be both incredibly multi-skilled with all aspects of music and production, as well as being unapologetically honest and down to earth, Bailey Judd is fast becoming every musician’s favourite artist.
