Bootleg Rascal announce tour and release new single

The genre-bending band are coming to a city near you this October.

Yugambeh/Gold Coast-based band Bootleg Rascal has just unveiled tour dates alongside their brand new single Rescue Me. Co-produced by ARIA Award Winning Producer Greg Stace and the band themselves, the head-bopping track follows their 2021 album Sloppy Seconds.

As vocalist Carlos Lara soulfully sings along to the groovy bassline, Jimmy Young comes in with a guitar solo before the final chorus. The track is accompanied by a comical music video, reminiscent of Baywatch, shot on the Gold Coast.

Since their debut in 2013, the band have been supported by the likes of MTV, NME and Australia’s own triple j. Over the years, Bootleg Rascal has sold out shows not only in Australia but also in France, the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, the USA and New Zealand.

Tickets for their Rescue Me tour are live now and can be found on their website. Pre-sale for the shows sold out, so get in quick to see them live!
