Genre-hopping indie rock band STUMPS visit Geelong this month as part of their national tour.

The Sydney trio will bring their blend of Brit pop, funky dance beats, anthemic rock and ethereal soundscapes to the Barwon Club on Saturday, August 19 as they promote their new single Life’s Moving Past You.

STUMPS bassist Merrick Powell said the tour, which began in July and will encompasses the east coast as well as Adelaide and Perth, had been a joy so far.

“It has been unreal, we have played some of the funnest shows to date on this tour, and in some places we didn’t expect,” Powell said.

“The band we are touring with, Jet City Sports Club, have been the greatest people to spend time with on the road, so that has been a pleasure as well.”

STUMPS have never visited Geelong, but Powell said the band was looking forward to entertaining the region’s music lovers.

“We’re so excited to head down to Geelong; many people have told us that the Barwon Club is a great venue, so we’re real pumped,” he said.

“We like to put on a show that has some sweaty dancefloor moments, some big emotional moments and some fun, silly moments.

“We hope to create a space where people can have a great time regardless if they are up the front sweating it up, or having a relaxed listen by the bar.”
