Naarm’s indie rock favourities, The Velvet Club are hitting the road this August for their 4 date Australian tour, in support of their debut album ‘Are You Falling In Love?’. The tour takes the band across the county with shows in Sydney, Brisbane and Perth before finishing in for a home town show in Melbourne.
Are You Falling In Love? is the bands debut album, and features fan favourites ‘We Don’t Talk’, ‘Blue’ and ‘Anything’. Throughout the record’s 10 tracks, The Velvet Club navigate mental health struggles, relationship breakdowns, friendship, and solitude, fuelled by jangly guitars and hooks that move from bright to melancholic and back again. The Velvet Club’s return to the hazy immediacy and raw, unpolished charm of 2000s indie is what makes this album so familiar, yet refreshing.
The Australian tour will bring the bands iconic, raw and energetic live performance that fans have come to know and love, and promises a mix of new album tracks alongside previous fan favourites.

The Velvet ClubWhere Did You Go Last Night? has an obsession running through it - a slow burn that won’t quit, that restless pull toward something you’ve already lost control of. Driven by steady, unrelenting drums and a vocal that glides with quiet intent, it’s the sound of restraint unfolding into something deceptively edgy. The lyrics feel both distant and intimate, circling around connection, control and the things you can’t let go of. It’s a song that doesn’t need to shout - it just smoulders, confident in its own tension.
Long before the packed rooms of music fans, it started in a classroom. Four classically trained musicians found common ground in loud guitars and emotional damage. Now in their early twenties - a film student, a tradie, a law student, and a jazz vocalist - they have grown into their sound and hit their stride. Tear Drive was inevitable - a culmination of lifelong friendship and restless ambition. The rest, as they say, is noise.
