The River | Margaret River, WA
The West Australian garage rock legends made a triumphant return to the live stage to celebrate their 40th anniversary in August-September of 2024 with a series of sold-out shows across Australia and Europe. The hugely successful tour meant that some fans missed out on tickets, so back by public demand, original members, Dom Mariani, Julian Matthews, and Dave Shaw and acclaimed guitarist Ashley Naylor (Even/Paul Kelly/The Church) are set to do again in late March-April 2025 with a run of selective shows across Australia, including two in WA.
The Stems attained their own legendary status in the Australian and International music scene – roaring out of Perth with a sound and style that definitively captured the spirit and enthusiasm of sixties garage music - lurching fuzz-tone guitars, brooding organ, solid gold garage-punk, and primo power pop! The Stems not only created a distinctive sonic identity but also penned unforgettable songs while delivering electrifying live performances.
In the late '80s, The Stems achieved acclaim with a series of singles and EPs and the timeless At First Sight – Violet are Blue LP in 1987. The group disbanded in late 1987 and made a significant comeback in 2003, playing to sold-out crowds nationwide. Since then, they have continued to tour regularly in front of audiences across Australia, Europe, Japan, and the United States.
Following a sold-out show at Freo.Social in September, South West fans of The Stems will be stoked to learn that the band will headline Friday March 28, at The River in Margaret River with special guests Ashley Naylor Spaceship (VIC).
It’s a right royal live garage music fest with food, cool merchandise, dancing in the fresh coastal air and cold drinks aplenty.
Tickets are available from OZTIX.
