Whether you’re looking for an authentic coastal road trip vibe soundtrack, enjoying a nice day at the beach, or maybe things aren’t going so well – perhaps you’re going through a tough breakup but don’t want to talk about it just yet – there’s no better band to match that energy than the Australian duo, viral sensation Royel Otis.
After appearing on the music scene in 2021 when they released their first EP, “Campus,” Royel Maddell and Otis Pavlovic gained attention with their first album, “Sofa Kings.” The 2023 release of surfer/skater rock immediately grabbed the attention of mainstream media outlets. Their provocative yet relatable lyricism paired with their enthusiastic showmanship truly takes you back to a time of importance – a relationship, a place you want to visit again, a struggle in your life – effortlessly causing raves of emotion with their sound.
If you’ve ever had TikTok, been to a mall recently, or turned on any rock-radio station, you have already heard one of their undeniably catchy tunes: their cover of The Cranberries’ “Linger,” “Oysters In My Pocket,” “Murder on the Dancefloor,” “Say Something,” “Going Kokomo,” or “Heading For The Door.”
But their fame has taken them to much farther places than that – from performing on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” to Lollapolooza, to accumulating almost nine million monthly listeners and multiple tracks with over 200 million plays – and counting! Their biggest song to-date, “Who’s Your Boyfriend” is now being played everywhere!
Royel Otis will take over the Greek Theatre on July 8th with support from Ax and the Hatchetmen. The band’s show will not only be ideal for a dark, yet warm Los Angeles summer backdrop, it will prove why their popularity has grown so greatly in such a short time.
If you have never heard of them, you’re a new fan or just a skeptic, now is a good time to give their work a listen and check them out in a city near you. Superfans already know of the band’s semiotic index of “show-hunting-hints” through Instagram posts, visually describing the location of their upcoming performances by posing in pictures of the inferred city.
If you want to get tickets, do so now! Knowing the excitement that comes with every performance is the absolute unpredictability of their setlist; you can expect nothing less than a wonderful evening led by highly-talented artists.
