Where: Bergy Bandroom

On their debut album Tabis, Convenience Store push their signature tightrope between confession and cinema to its most ambitious and affecting extremes. It’s a record about illusions: the stories we tell ourselves to survive, the doublespeak of growing up, and the disorienting sense that nothing in life ever fully resolves. Named after the Japanese split-toe shoe that conceals five toes within the illusion of two, Tabis is steeped in multiplicity. Across eleven tracks written and recorded in the band’s basement studio, the album shapeshifts, with each song a different kind of disguise, walking the line between deception and truth, artifice and honesty.
Tickets for Convenience Store’s hometown headline show at Bergy Bandroom in Melbourne on September 19th are on sale now. The band will also play headline shows in Frankston, Wollongong and Brisbane in late September and October, and will support Safford at Lansdowne in Sydney on October 3rd.
