Handsome Tours and CRH Presents are proud to present Thelma Plum’s Sydney concert as part of her 2024 Australian tour.

Thelma Plum is a Gamilaraay woman, musician and creator. She grew up in Brisbane and spent many of her childhood years on her Grandparents’ farm in Delungra, a small country town in rural New South Wales. She has been making music her whole life and has told one chapter with her debut album Better in Blak a story about culture, heritage, love, and pain. With incredible strength, courage and heartbreaking tenderness, her debut album captures so deftly what it’s like to be a young Aboriginal woman in Australia. The album became one of the most successful albums of 2019, nominated for 7 Arias and spawning 3 Platinum and one Gold singles. The title track “Better in Blak” came in the top 10 of the Triple J Hottest 100, the highest result ever for an Indigenous artist at the time, as well as winning the prestigious Vanda and Young “Song of the Year” award.

The Slingers are supporting Thelma Plum. 

Through the last 5 years of eclectic releases and impassioned live performances, The Slingers have cemented themselves as one of the most unique bands of the contemporary Australian underground/alternative scene. Their releases range in style from rock and roll to electronic, and from Australiana folk to the country pastiche of Kind Hearts, a collaboration with Melbourne underground legend, Spike Fuck. In 2021, the band were included in Beat Magazine’s ‘20 Underground Melbourne Bands You Ought to Know’. 

Since signing to iconic Australian label, Flightless Records, in 2020, the band has made a foray into the universe of ‘Motel Pop’. The genre is less defined by production than by its lyrical content, chronicling with a blend of comedy and tragedy the lives of ordinary people struggling through our current age of loneliness. 
 
The evolution of ‘Motel Pop’ culminated in their debut LP, Sentimentalism, released in July 2023. The album peaked at #4 on the ARIA’s charts for Top Aus Albums and #5 for Top Vinyl Albums. Off the back of this success, The Slingers completed a sold-out tour of Australia’s East Coast – including multiple shows at BigSound in Brisbane, and sold out shows in Sydney and Melbourne’s iconic Corner Hotel.  
 
On the cards for 2024 is the release of a single and their sophomore album, as well as further touring around Australia and the UK/EU. The band were recently added to the line-up for Golden Plains Festival 2024.
