2013 was a busy year for Collarbones. We played about 40 shows that year alone.
We brought in 2013 by supporting Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Midnight Juggernauts on the central coast of NSW.
Made a quick stop at Sugar Mountain where we were broadcast on Boiler Room and played amongst Dirty Projectors, ESG, HTRK and Laurel Halo.
Travis played the Space Jam theme song at the Big Day Out silent disco with Animal Collective in Adelaide.
We then rigorously toured with Jessie Ware, Clubfeet, Chela and How to Dress Well.
Russell Crowe came to the Jessie Ware show after making friends with her on Twitter. She was an immaculate performer.
That guy Chris Lilley was at the Clubfeet show for some reason. Who invited him?
There was a party with Van She hosted by the Australian idol Rob Mills. Rob came up to Travis and stressed that Collarbones should be bigger than Frank Ocean.
We played at the Australian Museum amongst dinosaur fossils and News Corp did a photoshoot with us. Succession, eat your heart out!
The rigour continued as we did the rounds yet again with PVT, Dappled Cities and Owl Eyes.
Following that, we played Vivid, the Freemason’s Hall with Kaytranada, Carriageworks with The Presets, stopping off at Strawberry Fields. We were destitute but felt so rich.
At the very end of 2013, we were asked to play with one of our favourite overseas bands, Deerhunter.
They’ve been nothing but extremely lovely each time we have interacted.
2013 was capped off by us receiving this glowing review of our Deerhunter support slot. Those 40 shows paid off!
