Coterie – Following their live dates with indie-rock stalwarts Lime Cordiale, Boorloo/Perth-based indie-pop quartet Coterie have just announced their Australian Honey Dance With Me headlining tour in celebration of their recent album success. The tour is named after the fan-adored track “Honey Dance With Me” from their debut self-titled album, which debuted at No. 4 on the ARIA Album Charts and No. 1 on the New Zealand Album Charts.
Having sold over three thousand tickets across seven dates on their previous Australian headline tour, selling out five venues, Coterie will be performing across eleven dates on the Australian mainland.
“We’re so excited to be hitting the road again playing some of our favorite cities and towns in Australia, enjoying all the beautiful sights, and of course, hanging with our awesome fans,” says Coterie. “We’re stoked knowing many of these fans will be seeing us live for the first time, so we want to make it really special for everyone who comes along!”
As an independent band of four brothers, Coterie became one of the fastest-growing artists in the Australian and New Zealand music scene in 2022. The release of fan favorite “Cool It Down” catapulted the group to the No. 1 spot on the New Zealand Music Charts, becoming the No. 1 Most Shazammed song in the country for over three months, gaining over five million streams on Spotify and almost two million YouTube views.
August saw the band sign to Six60’s newly formed Massive Records (Sony Music New Zealand) before joining New Zealand stalwarts Six60 on six stadium dates throughout New Zealand, followed by festival appearances at By The C, Caloundra Music Festival, Promiseland Festival, Oakura Groove, Woodford Folk Festival and NYE on the Hill.
The band was awarded Songwriter of the Year at the 2022 Waiata Maori Music Awards and Live Act of the Year at the Western Australia Music (WAM) Awards. They were also nominated for Best New Zealand Act at the 2022 MTV European Music Awards (EMA) and Breakthrough Artist of the Year at the New Zealand Music Awards.
“2022 almost seems like a dream looking back at it,” the band reflects. “So many unexpected and exciting events that blew our minds. We’re just so grateful to our fans, friends and collaborators, and we’re ready to do it all over again in 2023.”
