2 August 2019:
Much-loved Melbourne band Slum Sociable, today unveil a brand new cut, ‘Déjà Vu’, lifted from their highly anticipated EP L.I.F. out today via Liberation Records. Premiering overnight on triple j Good Nights, this high energy number has already proven a fan favourite from a handful of recent live performances, regularly generating crowd sing-alongs by the song’s final chorus.
“‘Déjà Vu’ is a song that was initially written in LA. We were going through an interesting time and wanted to write something that reminded us why we started making music together” – Ed Quinn
In further good news, Slum Sociable have confirmed hotly tipped Gold Coast via NZ rapper Saint Lane for the East Coast dates (ex Wollongong) on their upcoming Australian tour, where he’ll warm the crowd with his high-octane, ridiculously catchy tracks such as ‘Sugary Sweet’. Supports for other dates will be announced very soon. The L.I.F. EP tour runs through August and September taking in capital cities and regional centres throughout the country.
