This Song Is Yours

We’re finishing the week with some indie-folk magic as we welcome The Paper Kites to the show. The ARIA-nominated band from Melbourne have a collective 1 billion streams across their catalogue, and their debut single, "Bloom," has achieved platinum status in multiple countries, a testament to their songwriting prowess. Their latest release, "At The Roadhouse," is a masterful record born from a unique process. The band transformed an empty building into an American-style roadhouse during recording, performing their new material every weekend. The word quickly spread, turning The Roadhouse into a sold-out sensation! Join us today as we chat with Sam Bentley and Sam Rasmussen about the Americana and bluegrass influences on the record, the renovation journey, and the possibility of taking The Roadhouse on tour across Australia.
