We are pleased to announce that The Wildes will be appearing at both The Sydney Blues Festival (main stage on the Sunday) and The Maldon Folk Festival this October. Needless to say it will be a busy couple of days! Details of set times etc will be posted here very soon. Join the mailing list to keep up to date!
We will be recording and playing live on the streets of our hometown this week . More specifically, we’ll be at the beautiful Wesley Anne on High Street, Northcote, on Thursday the 5th of August. Our great friend Melody Pool will be opening up for us, all the way from Kurri Kurri, NSW. Tickets for the show are still available by clicking here.
The Wildes’ national tour has begun. Check out the blog page for tour diaries, tall stories and even the odd delicious recipe…
We’re really looking forward to kicking off the tour next week at Notes in Newtown, Sydney. You can now buy tickets for The Notes show and many of our other dates from this 
website on the shows page. In the meantime we’ve been busying ourselves with making another video – to the left is a still of Shaun from the ‘Nothing ‘ shoot…
This winter The Wildes are on the road! To celebrate the release of our new Sue-Ellen radio Edit and its accompanying video (stay tuned!) we are covering some serious miles to bring our show to big towns and small, up and down the Eastern side of Australia. For details of when we’re playing near you visit our SHOWS page. Tickets go on sale very soon!
Sean Genders’ 20-odd minute film The Edge of Reality is opening the Dungog Film festival in NSW on May 27th – and playing at The St Kilda Film Festival the weekend following. The Wildes have contributed much of the soundtrack. If you can get to either location make sure you check it out. Stars John Jarratt (Wolf Creek) and Dan Wyllie.
Throughout the month of June we will be doing something a little unusual – a front bar residency on Friday afternoons from 6pm at The Builders Arms in Fitzroy, Melbourne. The gigs will be a little different from normal Wildes shows – we’ll be “unplugged” and playing with all sorts of different acoustic instruments – and we’ll even have a guest or two including The Basics’ frontman Kris Schroeder and Queensland songstress Chloe Tully. To cut a long story short we have a whole bunch of new songs and want to try them out in front of an audience – we might even write a few new ones on the spot. So, if you’re in Melbourne, come down and be part of the process…
The Wildes will be appearing on the FRIDAY EVENING (the 28th of May) at The Gum Ball Festival this year. We’ll be hitting the stage at 9pm. Tickets for the two days of the festival are $95 and can be purchased from here. Other acts on the bill include Abbie Cardwell, The Basics and Tijuana Cartel.
Our video clip for the song Ballad of a Young Married Man has been nominated for an Inside Film Award for best music video. The clip was directed by Sean Genders and starred Ami Sharpe and ourselves. We’d love you to vote for the clip, and you can do so by clicking here
