The show comes just a few months after DMA’S dropped a surprise EP, ‘I Love You Unconditionally, Sure Am Going To Miss You’.
In August, the band gave NME a special look at the video for the offering’s lead single, ‘We Are Midnight’, with guitarist Johnny Took saying the song was “deeply innocent” and one of the first love songs he’d ever written.
“I just remember sitting on the couch in Melbourne and playing my partner’s guitar when we’d just started going out,” Took said. “If anyone is listening to a song about new love, it’s pretty relatable and open and we wanted to capture that through the music.”
Took also added that ‘I Love You Unconditionally, Sure Am Going To Miss You’ was a “return to roots”.
DMA’S released their critically acclaimed third album ‘THE GLOW’ in July of 2020. NME said in their review of the release that it was “a bold step forward that sees DMA’s coming into their own.”
