In the Green Room: The Tullamarines
Since 2022, The Tullamarines have been making music primed for gooey moshpit moments with your mates. So, it’s only understandable they got the call-up to this year’s Spin Off festival. Here, the band gives us the low-down on what to expect from their set.

Congrats on landing Spin Off! How do you think you’ll find playing at the festival compared to being a punter?
We’ve all been to a few [Spin Off’s] over the years and had the best time seeing some of our favourite artists play. Playing the festival is a big dream come true, so the vibes will be even higher this year. We’re really looking forward to hanging out with everyone and not losing one another in the crowd for once (Angus always goes missing).
What can we expect from your set?
All killer, no filler is the goal! We’ll be playing all our singles and a few future releases we’re excited about. We always try to make the crowd feel like they’re part of our little family by the end of our sets, and this will be no different.
You’ve been jamming together as The Tullamarines for a year now. How did you all meet and make a band?
We met in the scene playing shows in other bands. We’d all talked about writing stuff with each other individually, and then one day, the four of us just decided to jam. By the end of our first get-together, we’d already written the skeletons of two songs, and it just felt super warm and exciting. We quickly became really good friends, and the rest is history!
How do you hope to close 2023 out musically?
We’ve got a lot more releases in store and a few more surprises before the end of the year. Expect an evolved yet familiar sound to what you’ve heard so far!
