Handsome Tours & Laneway Presents are thrilled to present alt-pop duo
Balu BRIGADA ON THEIR PORTAL AUSTRALIA TOUR.
The national tour takes place this coming May and June, and includes
stops in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth, in support
of their acclaimed debut album Portal.
A sweeping, emotional, and sonically adventurous collection of songs,
Portal finds brothers Henry and Pierre Beasley pushing their
boundaries and cementing their place as one of the most vital new
voices in alternative pop. The album includes breakout singles ‘So
Cold’, ‘Backseat’, and the existential pop anthem ‘What Do We
Ever Really Know?’ - each one offering a glimpse into the band’s
evolving sound and introspective lyricism.
The album was built over three years across cities like New York,
Berlin, and their native Auckland, with each place leaving a unique
sonic fingerprint. From the heavy, grungy textures of the NYC sessions
to the serene, introspective energy of their roots in NZ, the duo
curated a sound that blends indie rock urgency with alt-pop finesse
and festival-sized ambition.
Their single ‘So Cold’, has soared with over 65 million global
streams, a #1 spot on Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart, and a
late-night TV debut on Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!. The track’s success,
including a placement on EA Sports' FC 25 soundtrack, marked a major
breakthrough for the duo, earning them the title of Billboard’s
Chartbreaker for April 2025.
