The Boat People have a lot to smile about right now. With their latest and greatest album Dear Darkly receiving no less than glowing, four star reviews, single ‘Damn Defensive’ all over the radio, video ‘Under the Ocean’ all over the TV, a triple j Like A Version spot nailed and a continuously-growing list of accolades piling up, you could say things are looking good.
Fresh off a successful album launch tour that saw them play to sold-out crowds nationwide, the hard-working foursome refuse to kick back on their laurels and instead will be heading straight out on the road with Melbourne’s oddball performer The Bedroom Philosopher.
From Brisbane down to Melbourne and including the likes of Canberra, Wollongong, Geelong and Hepburn Springs, the Boaties aren’t stopping there, another headline tour is already being planned – stay tuned!
RECENT PRAISE FOR THE BOAT PEOPLE

Rave Album of the Week ★★★★
“A genuinely adventurous and diverse album.”
JMag
“Dear Darkly succeeds in its moments of urgency and its willingness to experiment beyond the simple pop sensibilities”
Mess + Noise
“Dear Darkly should be lauded for its adventurous spirit, intelligent arrangements, but most of all, for being a sublime, idiosyncratic pop record.”
