KING’S BIRTHDAY MONDAY JUNE 8 / TWINE + CARI SCHARL
Known for their wounded country and barreling noise rock, Twine was formed in Adelaide, Australia in 2021, initially starting as a solo outlet for Tom Katsaras’ experiments in brash, country-inflected rock.

Now based in Melbourne, the band has taken an entirely new form, further exploring the tender relationship of noise and vulnerability, alongside new members Xanthe Rook (Recitals), James Dimick (Craning), and Vindi Ferguson (kisses).
