Handle Bar Bendigo | Bendigo, VI
It is 10 years since Shann Lions ambled into a Bendigo studio with a guitar slung over his shoulder and 10 cracking rock songs in his back pocket.
But when it came time to showcase these tunes, Lions needed a band.
Hence the first, nascent incarnation of Four Lions was born.
Fast-forward 10 action-packed years, and Bendigo’s finest are celebrating their first decade.
That’s five studio albums and a handful of live ones; a couple of line-up reshuffles; and numerous gigs across the length and breadth of this great brown land that has inspired so many of Lions’ most memorable tunes.
Four Lions were the first independent, regionally-based band to feature as the Herald Sun's Album of the Week (for Hard Days in 2019). They have also garnered rave reviews in Rhythms, Beat, Forte, and Bendigo Advertiser.
The band wanted to do something special to mark their first 10 years.
In that spirit they are set to unleash four two digital-only albums - a best of (out in December) and a B-sides compilation (January 2025), culminating in two special Victorian shows at Bendigo's Handle Bar (December 21) and Melbourne's Retreat Hotel (January 11).
And, at the dawn of their second decade, Four Lions are heading back into the studio in March 2025 to lay down the tracks that will comprise their sixth album.
Four Lions are Shann Lions (vocals, guitar), Keith Macqueen (guitar, vocals), Gavan Moncrieff (drums) and Dale Lee (bass).
Playing their 10th Anniversary show at Bendigo’s best backyard bar Handle Bar on Saturday December 21.
Free Entry with Earth Cadet playing at 8pm and Four Lions on at 9pm.
