Great Falls (Melb)

After their last attempt to play at Tanswell’s Hotel was foiled by a heatwave so cooked it sent the entire town’s power grid into meltdown, Great Falls are heading back for redemption this time armed with a new single, cooler weather and significantly lower chances of climate-related cancellation.

Naarm five-piece Great Falls have been steadily carving out a space in the local scene with their evocative, guitar-driven sound. Since the release of their debut 12” EP Negatives into Positives, the band have earned praise across Triple J, online and print media for their blend of jangly overdriven guitars, slinky bass-lines and songs steeped in sickly sweet nostalgia.

Following a two-year hiatus, Great Falls returned in late 2025 with “Radioinactive” — a gritty, unpredictable release that marked a bold reinvention for the band. The single quickly picked up national radio rotation and acclaim from outlets including Happy Mag, Broken 8 Records and Market Records, cementing Great Falls as one of Naarm’s most compelling live acts right now.

Now, six months on, the band return with their latest single “Blue Bricks”. A meditation on identity, impermanence and the fleeting nature of experience. Moody, propulsive and textured, the track continues to push the band into exciting new territory while holding onto the dark emotional core that defines their sound.

Joining them will be Great Falls very own lead guitarist, Liam Moran who will be debuting his solo project, Sitting Giant
