Bad//Dreems will be joined at all stops other than Adelaide by Children Collide and Dr. Sure’s Unusual Practice.

Bad//Dreems: ‘New Breeze’

As the band explain, ‘New Breeze’ is a track about the constant slog of life. “We looked forward to a utopia at the end of the pandemic, but life is never that simple,” said guitarist Alex Cameron. “You end up just pissing in a different breeze.”

Speaking about the making of HOO HA!, Cameron said there was a “significant possibility” that it wasn’t going to happen, and that the band might not even have played together again. But, in the end, “I made a pledge to say exactly what I wanted to and make music true to only ourselves. Bugger the consequences,” said Cameron.

HOO HA! is Bad//Dreems’ fourth album and follows 2019’s Doomsday Ballet. The band hunkered down in a studio inside a “disused neo-gothic incinerator” to carve it out, before finishing it off with producer Dan Luscombe in 2022.
