Bootleg Rascal Let Fly New Genre-Melting Party Anthem ‘Lonely Times’ & East Coast Tour Dates

They may still be balls deep in their massive Summer Vacay regional Aussie tour, but that hasn’t stopped Sydney’s perennial party starters Bootleg Rascal from unleashing a brand new single and announcing even more tour dates!

Dubbed ‘Lonely Times’, their fresh slice of tune loaf is a genre-melting feelgood summer party anthem produced by the band themselves alongside long-time collaborator Ian Pritchett (Boo Seeka, Kim Churchill, Angus and Julia Stone), with additional production by Simon Dobson (Little May).

Putting the duo’s masterful fusion of sun-soaked reggae and dub roots with blazing modern hip-hop bars on glorious display, the song also comes packing an entertaining music video shot at front man Carlos Lara’s house in Sydney by Sam Brumby (Julia Jacklin, The Rubens, Ali Barter) which you can check out below.

To celebrate, Bootleg have announced more East Coast tour dates, with a capital city run locked in for March and April with Brisbane stalwarts Shag Rock and Sydney punk faves SCABZ coming along for the ride.

Catch all the dates & details below!

Meanwhile, the group have also revealed plans to donate 100% of profits from tickets sold at tonight’s show at Miranda Hotel to the NSW Rural Fire Service in the wake of the current bushfire crisis.
