We always know when welcoming @TheRions back to the roof will be met with an abundance of youthful, cheeky energy, but always the professionalism of a band hungry to be the best they can be. With plenty of cowboy boot tapping, in-jokes and movie quotes being thrown around, Noah (Vocals & Guitar), Asher (Bass), Tom (Drums) and Harley (Lead Guitar) warm up on the roof preparing for their performance for us their fan-favourite "Time Will Try"
Their new EP Happiness In A Place It Shouldn’t Be is the follow-up to their coming-of-age debut EP Minivan, encapsulating the band’s transformation from high school ones-to-watch, to the self-assured band they’ve now become. Where Minivan lyrics tell the story of the transition into adulthood from a youthful energetic stance, Happiness In A Place It Shouldn’t Be dives deeper into the human-experience of learning how to navigate inter and outer-personal relationships, encountering existential questions , even extending into the bonds of friendship the four-piece have formed with each other in ‘Time Will Try’. Guaranteed you'll have this track on repeat after this show.
The Rions have swiftly transitioned from rising talents to one of Australia’s most sought-after acts. With relentless touring, they’ve supported heavyweights like Lime Cordiale and Boy & Bear, while making waves at festivals such as Grapevine Gathering, Yours & Owls, and the UK’s Tunes In The Park. Their debut Minivan EP, packed with three tracks that landed in triple j’s Hottest 100, fueled their momentum, earning them a Rolling Stone Award nomination and a string of sold-out shows, including two at Sydney’s iconic Metro Theatre, garnering praise from triple j, NME, and Ones to Watch.
The Rions highly anticipated second EP Happiness In A Place It Shouldn’t Be has dropped ahead of their biggest-ever Australian headline tour kicking off this October. LISTEN HERE + TOUR DETAILS HERE
