New York, NY (Top40 Charts) After releasing the first single "I Don't Think You Like Me" off their upcoming Figurine EP (out in July) earlier this year, Tired Lion have dominated Australian radio play (climbing as high as 10th most played song on triple J), blown listener's minds with their 'Like a Version' mash-up of Violent Soho's 'Saramona Said' and the Smashing Pumpkins' '1979'. They've taken out the 2015 WAMI Award for best rock song, won Channel V's Discover music video competition, and sent the band lapping Australia three times with shows supporting the likes of Gyroscope, The 1975, Kingswood, Luca Brasi, and British India.
Now, along with releasing the video for their brand new single "Suck", Tired Lion have also been announced as the winners of the Triple J Unearthed competition to play Splendour In The Grass 2015 - joining an honoured list of previous winners such as Airling, Kingswood, Art vs. Science, and Millions. Opening the festival on Friday July 24 - Tired Lion are playing alongside some of the world's greatest live acts - including Blur, Mark Ronson, Tame Impala, Florence + The Machine, Death Cab For Cutie, Ryan Adams + many many many more.
