Sydney Indie Rockers Gavin Bowles & The Distractions are only asking the hard questions with their new album “Are We Having Fun Yet?”. Their second album (following 2023’s “Phoning It In”) is a snapshot of living in troubled times; touching on internal struggles, relationships, work/life balance and burnout.To celebrate the release of their new album, Bowles & The Distractions will be holding an album launch at Bootleggers, Newtown on Friday October 24th with special guests: Grasstouch, Boyfriend Material & I Know You Know – tix on sale now!
“Are We Having Fun Yet?” (out October 17 digitally and physically) may be partially heavy in subject matter, but musically still flaunts the bands renowned Power Pop & Pub Rock flavours, albiet with a few new treats. Ultimately “Are We Having Fun Yet?” offers The Distractions territory to strut their talents and Bowles a strong foundation for his heart-on-your-sleeve lyrics and the occasional diatribe of modern day life.
Since bursting onto the live scene in 2022 armed with a setlist of lively and earnest Pop-Rock songs, Bowles & The Distractions quickly gained a reputation for their energetic and refined live shows; catchy melodies adorning bright guitars, hop-along bass lines, watertight drum grooves and wild eyes.
