2025 was a good year for Tropical Fuck Storm. The Melbourne rockers not only released their highly acclaimed fourth long player, Fairyland Codex, but they sold out shows across the US and Europe and teamed up with Castlemaine brewer Love Shack Brewing Company to create their own draught beer – Tropical Fu*k Storm Bitter!
Keeping the good vibes going, the group have shared new concert film BOWLO: Live in Sydney. Released on Friday 23 January, the film was shot by Ben Portnoy (also known as vocalist/drummer of C.O.F.F.I.N.) and Dougal Gorman on 22 November 2025, the third night of a sold-out run at The Marrickville Bowling & Recreation Club in Sydney.
BOWLO - Live in Sydney captures the high-intensity energy of a TFS live show, with band members Gareth Liddiard, Fiona Kitschin, Erica Dunn and Lauren Hammel in fine form, and acts as a gift for fans before they head off overseas for several months performing shows across North America and Europe.
