Botany View Hotel (Newtown, NSW)

This spring, Quality Used Cars will be hitting the east coast for their biggest tour to date off the back of their third album ‘One Hundred Million’ - out August 28th through Spoilsport Records (Aus) and Like You Mean It Records (US).
Fronted by songwriter Francis Tait, ‘One Hundred Million’ is another showcase of Tait and his band’s excellent songwriting ability, delivering 10 new tracks of their signature alt-country, garage pop, americana and art-rock.
Stopping off in Eora for their first headline show in the city to date, the band will be joined by local fuzzy jangly indie-rock sweethearts Sunscreen and brooding singer songwriter Maia Toakley (solo).
Following on from their debut album ‘Good Days/Bad Days’, and their 2023 sophomore album ‘Quality of Life’, the band have played and toured with SG Goodman and MJ Lenderman, and had a slew of festival appearances at Boogie, Town Folk Festival, Gum Ball, Wonder Mountain and BMF. Slowly refining their craft in a live setting, the band return with an even more developed sound than their previous releases, committing to their shared vision, adding a horn section and pipes, and lyrically tackling a theme that almost makes it feel like a concept album.
Quality Used Cars have always tackled lyrical songwriting with a sense of being down on your luck, an injection of humour, and also a gratefulness to life despite the hardships. One Hundred Million refines their craft perfectly, as they expand instrumentally to create an astonishingly memorable and mature third record.
