Oz supergroup unleashed! Jim @midnightoilband, Kent Steedman, Paul Larsen-Loughead @celibaterifles and Tim from @theapartments are coming to a town quite near you on this leg of their THUNK tour. Get your dancing shoes on for a night of freewheeling Australian rock music. Order the new album THUNK at thunkthealbum.com Woof. After forming in 2006 to support Jim’s sophomore solo album ‘Alas Folkloric’, the first fully fledged Jim & The Family Dog band album came in 2018 with ‘Bark Overtures’. It’s taken a few years to come up with it’s follow up, ‘THUNK.’ Both are recorded live in the studio. Lyrically, the songs are about the state of the world (‘It’s an artist’s job to reflect that’ says Jim) but the music is influenced by the heavier rock of early Midnight Oil and Celibate Rifles, but with more improvised and extended sections. Jim: ‘We’re only releasing THUNK on cassette, vinyl and CD as a protest. The tech giants are killing the music industry by denying musicians income with abysmal streaming royalties. Investing in AI harvesting and creation of AI content designed to eliminate musicians altogether, their only motivation being profit, and in Spotify’s case assisting in the creation of actual war machines. Despite all that, we’re a great dance band. And we’re looking forward to going out to support THUNK live with an Australian tour in 2026.’
