Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever have gifted fans with the video for ‘The Only One’, lifted from their 2020 sophomore album, Sideways To New Italy – now available on limited-edition 140g rosé-coloured vinyl.
Directed by Mike Ridley, the video for fan-favourite ‘The Only One’ follows the beloved character of Pie Man as he wanders the streets of the Northern-Melbourne suburbs.
“The places are real, the people are real, the pie is made of cardboard and sticky tape.”

The Melbourne five-piece ended 2020 by announcing their biggest Australian headline performances to date, taking place in April and May this year.
The band will perform to audiences at Adelaide’s The Gov on Friday 16 April, Hobart’s Altar on Saturday 17 April, Brisbane’s The Tivoli on Friday 30 April, Fremantle’s Freo Social on Saturday 1 May, Melbourne’s Forum on Friday 14 May, Sydney’s The Factory Theatre on Friday 21 May (sold out), Canberra’s Kambri ANU on Saturday 22 May and will close out the tour with a second and final Sydney show just announced for Sunday 23 May.
Whilst 2020 saw the postponement of Rolling Blackouts C.F.’s tours across the world, the year welcomed the release of their internationally acclaimed second album Sideways to New Italy.
The album debuted at #4 on the ARIA Album Chart, #1 on the ARIA Australian Album Chart, #1 on the ARIA Vinyl Album Chart and #2 on the ARIA Physical Album Chart, and features fan favourites ‘Cars In Space’, ‘She’s There’, ‘Falling Thunder’ and ‘Cameo’.
Following in the footsteps of their breakthrough debut album Hope Downs in 2018, Sideways To New Italy garnered praise by critics across the world, locally receiving a 4.5 star review from Sydney Morning Herald and 4 star reviews from The Guardian, Rolling Stone Australia, Q Magazine, The Music and NME Australia who declared that ‘…lyrically, Rolling Blackouts C.F have gone high-concept.’
Internationally, the album was crowned Rough Trade’s Album of the Month, a 5 star review from Upset, 9/10 in Uncut and 4 star reviews across The Guardian, NME, Q, Dork & more. The band rounded out the year with multiple ‘best of 2020’ entries and were nominated for awards including the AMP (Australian Music Prize), Music Victoria Awards (Best Album & Best Group) & Double J Artist of the Year.
