The Darts head to the Fed
Direct from the US, the all-femme garage punk band, the Darts, will be performing for one night only at the Federal Hotel in Bellingen
The Darts (US) are an all-femme, organ-fueled, garagepunk quartet based in Seattle, Washington. Formed in 2016 and dubbed “spooky-kitten garage rock,” the band has released seven full-length records, including three on legendary punk label Alternative Tentacles.
The Darts has toured relentlessly around the USA and Europe since its inception, garnering fans that include the likes of author Stephen King, actors Fred Armisen and Drew Carey, and punk legends Dave Vanian of The Damned and Blag Dahlia of The Dwarves, among many others.
The Darts toured the USA with The Damned and will support them again in September 2026 in Australia.
2026 saw the release of the band’s latest LP, Halloween Love Songs (2026 Adrenalin Fix Music), to strong international acclaim – and the band immediately embarked on another full year of touring in support of the album. The record contains thirteen original songs themed around Halloween, exploring both the fun and the dark sides of the October event.
From August through December 2026, The Darts will perform in the USA, Japan, Australia, France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Poland, England, Scotland, Ireland, Italy, Spain, and more. Their high-energy concerts showcase masterful Farfisa organ, distorted twangy guitar, massive fuzz bass, and pounding surf and rock drumbeats, with Nicole Laurenne’s sultry alto vocals on top.
