Radio Free Alice at Kung Fu Necktie 2025-09-16T20:00:00
With an operatic swagger angular guitar driven sound, Melbourne’s Radio Free Alice emerged with an art school musical palette, painted from a suburban Australian canvas. Immediate and arresting rock arrangements from the 4 piece band meld with frontman Noah Learmonth’s distinctive yearning throaty vocal, harking to the stylings of Ian Curtis and Robert Smith. Guitars with clean tones and clever notes, melodic bass lines, urgent drumbeats, and the occasional sax translate the band’s DIY recordings to an energetic, charismatic live show from the young quartet.
Following 2023 singles “Paris Is Gone” and “Look What You’ve Done”, which have received support from triple j, FBi and 3RRR, the band have opened for Django Django, The Snuts, Sorry and a sold out four week residency at inner Melbourne’s Nighthawk. The band’s captivating live show saw them emerge from Brisbane’s BIGSOUND showcase as one of the breakout artists for the year, as they lead into SXSW Sydney and a run of summer shows around Australia. More music and an EP to come from this exciting new young talent this year.
