NEW SINGLE #13 MOST PLAYED ON TRIPLE J
July 30, 2019
Finishing up their sold out national tour supporting scene stirrers SKEGGS last Saturday, TOTTY aren’t ones to shy away from the stage today announcing a run of headline dates this September.
You can bet TOTTY will be bringing the same rapturous performances they brought on tour this month to their own shows, which will take in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Byron Bay.
Recently the band returned with grungy, relatable new single ‘Lucky’ which has since been added to rotation on triple j and heralded as their “best song yet” by Declan Byrne from triple j.
In contrast to their usual raucous tracks, ‘Lucky’ is a standout. Slower than expected its still replete with grungy guitar and head thumping drums – it’s sure to be a crowd favourite live.
Produced by Brett Jansch (Dune Rats) and engineered by Jack Nigro (DMA’s, Skeggs) at The Grove studio, it’s a far cry from the sheds they began in.
Ruminating on the ups and downs of life, front-woman Kelly says of the track “‘Lucky’ is written as a response to anyone who has ever told you that you shouldn’t be proud about your achievements or hard work. A lot of times it’s easy to doubt yourself when people are putting you down, and we hope the song can make people realise “Nah fuck that, I worked hard for this!”
