RVG Announce 2023 Australian ‘Brain Worms’ Tour

July 25, 2023

RVG have announced a national tour behind their third and most recent album, Brain Worms. The tour will begin at the Off the Rails festivals in Newcastle and Sydney before RVG play headline shows around metro and regional Victoria, plus Canberra and Adelaide.

The Melbourne/Naarm band, led by songwriter and vocalist Romy Vager, will also appear at Yours & Owls Festival in mid-October. Find all the tour details below, and take a listen to the album’s jangly, catchy title track.

RVG – ‘Brain Worms’

RVG recorded Brain Worms with UK engineer and producer, James Trevascus, who’s worked with Billy Nomates and The Goon Sax and mastered various film soundtracks, including Nick Cave and Warren Ellis’ original score for the derided Marilyn Monroe biopic, Blonde.

The band’s latest album follows their breakout debut, A Quality of Mercy, and its stellar follow-up, Feral, which got somewhat lost amid the turmoil of 2020. Brain Worms is the band’s first release via Ivy League Records, part of the Mushroom stable.

Brain Worms is as urgent and sharp a rock record as you’ll hear this year, which corresponds to Vager’s aim to put everything into it. “If we could only make one more album, it would be this one,” she said, per the album PR.
