The Cruel Sea

Presented by: Twilight at Taronga 2025

The Cruel Sea with Loose Content Prepare yourself for a deep dive into the heart of a quintessentially Australian sound with rock revolutionaries The Cruel Sea! Formed in Sydney in the late 1980s, The Cruel Sea made waves with their swampy, surf-infused blues and roots sound, blending everything from spaghetti western and country honk to zydeco and acoustic rock. When charismatic front man Tex Perkins joined the band, his deep, gravelly vocals added a whole new dimension to their already distinctive sound, propelling them into indie rock royalty. Hits like “Better Get a Lawyer,” “Black Stick,” and the unforgettable “The Honeymoon Is Over” made them a household name, and their 30th-anniversary tour in 2023proved they’ve still got it. The Cruel Sea’s live shows are masterclasses in moody, soulful rock, with bluesy guitar riffs and Perkins’ powerful, ocean-deep vocals driving the sound. You’ll hear the classic tunes that made them giants in the Australian music scene but expect a few surprises too–new tracks from their brand new album Straight Into the Sun or a revival of their Number 1 album Three Legged Dog. One thing’s for sure: this is a show not to be missed. Get hold of your tickets now to see one of the most respected and enduring rock acts in the country against the glittering back drop of Sydney city. Opening for The Cruel Sea are three-piece indie/alt-rock band Loose Content, who hail from the hinterland of Byron Bay. Formed during high school, by the time they were 18 years old, Loose Content had impressed on the stages of esteemed Aussie festivals such as Byron Bay Bluesfest & Woodford Folk Festival and, more recently, have been more than holding their own being invited on the road to support respected national acts such as Magic Dirt, The Cruel Sea, The Vanns, Rum Jungle and many others. Relocating from the Northern Rivers to Naarm/Melbourne, Loose Content are following in the footsteps of bands like The Birthday Party and The Drones, who cut their teeth and built their musical output on residency gigs and tales of shared housing. Loose Content’s sound draws inspiration from artists like The Police, Radiohead, and Midnight Oil.
