DICE

"...DICE are blowing up! Australian rock'n'roll takes the suburban experience... and somehow dresses it up rock'n'roll and makes it sound kinda romantic, DICE does that, no question. The songs they come out with are so polished, so beautiful."

-Zane Lowe, Apple

When triple j Unearthed host Dave Ruby Howe said, “Big things [are] on the cards for this band,” he wasn’t kidding. Now Kiwi fans who have watched the meteoric rise of Perth’s hottest property from afar are in for a treat, with Dice announcing their hotly anticipated return, with two killer New Zealand shows in Wellington and Auckland this September.

 The band are stopping off here first, before jetting off to take over Europe, the UK, and the US later this year with a monster world tour to celebrate the release of their brand new album Midnight Zoo. Due out on August 9th through Tone City Records - https://sound-merch.com.au/collections/diceand pre-save here - SPOTIFY + APPLE - this new collection of impossibly catchy surf rock indie anthems is set to take this very special act to heady new heights. Now you can be amongst the first in the world to hear Dice’s scorching hot album played live!

Following the critical acclaim of their 2021 debut and a breakout 2023 that included sold-out tours, international radio play, and a coveted spot on triple j's Hottest 100, the highly anticipated debut record from DICE, Midnight Zoo, will see the band shed the carefree veneer of their earlier work for a more introspective, multifaceted sound. Midnight Zoo isn't just an album; it's a sonic odyssey mirroring their whirlwind year of creation. Unafraid to dive into more complex themes, Midnight Zoo promises a genre-bending journey from dancefloor to dawn. “We find our love for music through its authenticity. There’s a certain beauty to creating music because it is a culmination of your own emotions, experiences and personality. ‘Midnight Zoo’ is a window into what our lives have been like and the memories we’ve made during producing the record.

Written, recorded and produced in their hometown of Perth at Tone City Records, the debut album is an ode to their home as a band and their roots. “The ‘Midnight Zoo’ is the name we gave to Tone City Studios, the location of our creation. It was the place we all went to get away from everything, when we felt sad, when we had a fight, but it was also where our creativity was at its strongest. Termed 'Midnight Zoo' because of its long nights, wild energy and full moon recordings, this title just fits like a glove with both the tracks and its creation” DICE say of the forthcoming LP. “It's also always been a joke that the studio is like a zoo and when it turns to night, that's when the magic happens”.
