We’d love to hear your stories—what brought you there, standout moments, new friends and core memories.

Now the dust has settled, drop them below for some perfect Sunday reading 🤘

We’re proud Fractured Party People, lifting each other up, always. See you on the road soon 🇺🇸

He'll be joining us, Sonic Boom Six , Shed-band and Pageant Mum!

Not long to go now… this is shaping up to be our maddest one yet. Only a few dozen spaces remain... 👀

If we'd been signed in our teens or early twenties, we would have bankrupted ourselves before our first tour.

I wonder what can be done to support the next generation of musicians? Or are we doomed forever to a music industry that favours those with financial security?

We're lucky to have got signed when we'd built up some quickly burnt-through reserves and are now supported brilliantly by Xtra Mile Recordings. We also have the backing of an amazing fanbase in the FRACTURED PARTY PEOPLE (official PET NEEDS fan group). Without them, we couldn't afford to do this.

And I'm not even super working class. We didn't have holidays abroad, designer clothes or fancy meals out, but we genuinely didn't feel we needed them. Way more importantly, we had parents who nurtured our creativity.

I was still writing music and gigging every weekend at the time this photo was taken.

If I'd got signed right then, with no savings, extortionate rent and having to pay with scratch cards to afford the fuel to get to work, how would I have afforded to rent a van, tour the UK, or Europe, or the USA?

If fans start buying tickets early, promoters take less risk.

For bands, it’s stressful when tickets move slowly. But for independent promoters, it’s make-or-break.

Buying early helps keep live music alive.
