SUMMARY;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Floodlights
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:For Melbourne indie rock band Floodlights, all their dreams seem to be=0D=0Acoming true: Louis Parsons, Ashlee Kehoe, Archie Shannon, Joe Draffen,=0D=0Aand Sarah Hellyer now routinely play sold-out shows in their home=0D=0Acountry and tour the world for highly anticipated performances.=0D=0AThey've also signed a record deal with the internationally renowned=0D=0Aindie label [PIAS] Recordings and even received a nomination for=0D=0AAustralia's most prestigious music award. This accolade is more than=0D=0Adeserved, given their honest, unvarnished lyrics, the compelling voice=0D=0Aof lead singer Louis Parsons, woven into multi-layered harmonies (with=0D=0Abandmate Sarah Hellyer), and underpinned by melancholic indie rock,=0D=0Apost-punk, and folk sounds.=0D=0A=0D=0AThese genuine, intimate lyrics, deeply moving vocals, and captivating=0D=0Arhythms ensure that Floodlights' live performances, in particular,=0D=0Alinger in the memory. Since forming in 2018, they have released one EP=0D=0Aand three albums, and their work remains centered on stirring, moving,=0D=0Aand poetic songwriting. Fortunately, music fans worldwide recognized=0D=0Athis potential with their first EP, "Backyard," in 2019; they bought=0D=0Aevery single physical copy. Their debut album, "From a View," was=0D=0Areleased in 2020, and Floodlights' songs became increasingly popular=0D=0Aamong music lovers, leading to sold-out shows and appearances at=0D=0AAustralian festivals. The year 2023 proved pivotal: their second=0D=0Aalbum, "Painting of My Time," was released, and Floodlights pooled all=0D=0Atheir savings to play live at SXSW, the world's largest music=0D=0Ashowcase, in Austin, Texas. True to the motto "nothing ventured,=0D=0Anothing gained," Floodlights showed courage and went all in, as their=0D=0Areleases up to that point had been without the support of a major=0D=0Alabel. This was finally about to change thanks to the Texas festival=0D=0Aand their third album, released by the label [PIAS].=0D=0A=0D=0AAlways on the move, Floodlights processed experiences like touring and=0D=0Atraveling, as well as their early experiences as a band, on their=0D=0Aalbum "Underneath" (2025); all the things that make life worth living=0D=0Aas a musician and as a person. Furthermore, themes such as personal=0D=0Aturmoil, Australian identities, and the vast landscapes of their=0D=0Ahomeland find their way into their songs, serving as a means of=0D=0Aescaping the bleak reality. With "Underneath," they first climbed the=0D=0AAustralian album charts. However, it is still the concerts that=0D=0Aprovide Floodlights with their energy and motivation. Highlights of=0D=0Atheir live career include support slots for The Killers, Pavement,=0D=0AAmyl & the Sniffers, and Black Midi. After gigs at local festivals=0D=0Alike the Reeperbahn Festival and Rolling Stone Beach, and their last=0D=0AGerman tour in autumn 2025, Floodlights are finally returning to=0D=0AGermany this June for concerts in Hamburg, Berlin, Frankfurt, and=0D=0AHaldern!=0D=0A
