THE HARD QUARTET AND OSEES SUPPORTS ANNOUNCED

Emmett’s love for Australian music was compounded over previous visits here as a part of The Double (with Jim White) and as guitarist for Ty Segall. Performing under his own moniker The Cairo Gang in 2017 as support to the Scientists, Emmett even eventually found himself in the capacity of band agent booking and promoting the Scientists first ever tour of the USA in 2018.

For now though Emmett is but one part of The Hard Quartet alongside his Double(s) partner and Dirty Three drummer Jim White plus Pavement frontman Stephen Malkmus and journeyman Matt Sweeney (Chavez, Superwolf, Iggy Pop).

“The Hard Quartet often plays like a tribute to the deep bonds we form with music. The lyrics are filled with references to classic artists—from Motörhead to Blue Oyster Cult, Big Star to Sister Sledge—and the cozy sprawl of the record gives the sense of a party that none of the attendees want to leave.” – GQ

“The greatest live act in the world” (Marc Riley – BBC 6 / The Fall) return this February-March following a 2023 tour that literally blew the socks off everyone that attended. They will be doing much the same this time around.

“Tonight, we were served more than two hours of the most well-thought out and powerful and intense music that I had seen in 40 years of gig going.” – i94bar

“With no need to introduce the songs to their cult following, the band crash through 23 tracks with sweat flying off the cymbals with each synced crash. Claiming to be a ‘rip off’ of a multitude of bands, Dwyer’s humble nature doesn’t change the fact that Osees are easily one of the best live bands you could see in this day and age.” – The Clash
