Wolf Alice will be in the midst of their tour of Australia and New Zealand when they hit the stage at Mushroom After Hours. The band have had an enormous year, having released their highly anticipated and critically acclaimed sophomore album Vision Of A Life on Liberator Music in September 2017, which propelled them further into the limelight and solidified them as United Kingdom’s most exciting rock export.
With enormous tracks such as ‘Yuk Foo’, ‘Beautifully Unconventional’ and ‘Don’t Delete The Kisses’ littered throughout the incredible record, the band have been acknowledged with various accolades since its release including a BRIT Award nomination, a Mercury Award nomination, and the coveted triple j Feature Album here in Australia. This builds upon the love they received for their debut album, which earned them a Grammy Award nomination for Best Rock Performance. Live, they’re a force to be reckoned with.

Kicking off proceedings on the night will be I Know Leopard who have just returned to the scene with their standout new track and video ‘Landmine’, released via Ivy League. The Sydney-via-Adelaide outfit have released two EPs to date, but have now emerged with a vibrant new sound revelling in glam, dream pop and playful, upbeat, 70s soft rock, with a stunning new look to boot. With a promise of a larger body of work on the horizon, they are shaping up for a breakout twelve months ahead.
