Dick Diver, Workhorse live at The Thornbury Theatre (Over 18s)

Dick Diver Return!

A decade has passed since they released their last album, Melbourne, Florida, after which half the band decided to watch the world shit itself from other places around the world.

Well! Now they’ve had enough of that. For the first time since 2018,the band will be in the same place at the same time this August, and will be playing a string of shows at the Thornbury Theatre in Naarm. See you there :)

On Friday night Dick Diver will be joined by Workhorse.

Story:
Dick Diver formed in 2008, releasing their debut EP, Arks Up in 2009, followed by full-length albums, New Start Again (2011), Calendar Days (2013) and Melbourne, Florida (2015) – all on the highly regarded Chapter Music label, and Trouble in Mind.

They’ve garnered international attention for their songwriting, funny-slash-sad lyrics, and swapping instruments & vocals during live shows; in 2013, mid-set, they witnessed fifty men jump the fence at the Perth Laneway Festival to watch Vance Joy playing on another stage.

Scattered across Stockholm, London and Melbourne since 2015 (the dog days of the Abbott era), they’ve played occasional shows whenever they’ve been able to.

Workhorse is the western-tinged, dream-pop project of Kaurna land/Adelaide singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Harriet Fraser-Barbour.

Influenced by vast Australian landscapes and apocalyptic dreams, Workhorse create cinematic sonic landscapes evoking road trips across dusty plains.
