The Baton Rouge, Louisiana THOU bring their iconic brand of sludge to Australia and New Zealand in 2024 for the first time in history!

The group will tour across the cities of Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra, Wellington, Auckland, Adelaide, Frankston and Melbourne in Australia and New Zealand in Autumn 2024.

Though often lumped in with New Orleans sludge bands like Eyehategod and Crowbar, Thou shares a more spiritual kinship with ’90s proto-grunge bands like Nirvana, Alice in Chains, and Soundgarden (all of whom they’ve covered extensively, both in the studio and onstage).

The band’s aesthetic and political impulses reflect the obscure ’90s DIY hardcore punk found on labels like Ebullition, Vermiform, and Crimethinc.

Since 2004 the band has released five full-length albums, six EPs (some bordering on full lengths), collaboration records with The Body and Emma Ruth Rundle, and enough material spread out over splits to make up another four or five LPs.
