Bleak Squad: Australian Supergroup Live in London

Bleak Squad, the Australian supergroup formed in Melbourne, brings their noir-rock sound to London for a rare international show. The band brings together Adalita Srsen (Magic Dirt), Mick Harvey (The Birthday Party, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, PJ Harvey), Mick Turner (Dirty Three, Mess Esque), and Marty Brown (Art of Fighting) — four musicians whose shared chemistry was described as "uncomplicated and instantaneous."

Their debut album *Strange Love*, released in August 2025 on Poison City Records, was praised as "a genuine collaboration" that "sounds more like a fourth album than a first." The set draws from that album and its singles, including "Lost My Head" and "Strange Love," with alternating lead vocals from Adalita and Harvey creating a dynamic, slow-burn atmosphere.

Attendees can expect an intimate evening of sorrow-joys and slow-burn melodies, delivered with the spontaneous energy that defined the band's recording sessions. This is a chance to see a supergroup that formed organically, described by one critic as a band to "warm yourself on their rock 'n' roll sorrow-joys."
