Playwrite Announce Tour

Melbourne wielders of folk, Playwrite embark on a string of tours this Spring, celebrating the release of their emotionally driven new single, Whittaker, as well as garnering the coveted support slot for British contemporaries Elbow as well as local lyricist Jack Carty.

Recently heralded by FBi Radio as their ‘Unsigned Artist of the Week’, Playwrite celebrate their newest, and most poignant offering to date.  See them take to the stage to deliver the prelude to their anticipated debut album, slated for release later this year.

Building a stellar reputation for their animated and energetic live performances, it’s no wonder Playwrite have been asked to perform alongside indie trailblazers such as Wild Beasts, Half Moon Run, Gossling and more,  whilst drawing comparisions to Yeasayer and TV On The Radio for their beat-driven swirling layers and melodies.

‘Whittaker’ was written in the Victorian hinterland by band members Patrick Holcombe and Jordan White and orchestrated over hundreds of dark nights in a Brunswick warehouse by the band as a whole.  The single was recorded deep in the heart of Melbourne at Sing Sing Studio, produced by Jimi Maroudas (Kimbra, Eskimo Joe, Bertie Blackman) and mastered by Emily Lazar (Haim, Vampire Weekend, James Vincent).
