Daily Toll, Patrick Fitzgerald

Event information

Daily Toll

Daily Toll are a super new band from Sydney, Australia, although you could easily imagine them to be an undiscovered New Zealand outfit whose only demo got taped over by a clumsy intern from the Flying Nun label in the late 80s. Yeah, that good!
Initially the project of self taught musician, poet & artist Kata Szász-Komlós (they/them) and Jasper Craig-Adams (he/him), Daily Toll recently expanded to a three piece with the addition of friend Tom Stephens (he/him). After putting out a series of home recordings since forming in 2021, the band shifted gear last year when they laid down their debut album 'A Profound Non-Event' in just three days with Alex Bennett at the analogue Sound Recordings studio in Castlemaine.
The album has been picked up for European release on June 20th by stupendous UK label, Tough Love, home of The Stoppies, The Umbrellas, The Red, Pinks and Purples and all your other favourite modern indie-pop acts, a trademark of quality if ever there was one.
If the idea of dreamy poetry being recited over a Clean/Bats style backing music floats your boat like it does ours, then this show is for you. Tuff Life Boogie is delighted to present Daily Toll on their first UK tour!

Patrick Fitzgerald

Oh wow! Tuff Life Boogie is honoured to be hosting bona-fide indie-pop legend Patrick Fitzgerald's first show for a few years at The Continental! When we heard on the grapevine that Patrick might be considering live dates again to support his excellent new LP, 'Convalescence', it was a no-brainer to try and grab a date for Preston.

Performing solo under his own name for the first time in 30 years, Patrick will plays songs from previous incarnations, including legendary 1990s shoegaze pioneers Kitchens of Distinction and his introspective singer/songwriter solo act Stephen Hero. Patrick will be joined by special guests at each show to celebrate music from 1989-2025. Expect songs from old Kitchens dreampop classics to heartfelt songs from his latest solo album Convalescence.

For this show at The Continental, Patrick is delighted to be joined by guitarist Yves Altana, (Peter Hook and the Light, Chameleons Vox) who you might remember also played with Patrick the last time he appeared at The Continental, 8 years ago, in their duo guise as 'Oskar's Drum'.

A Patrick Fitzgerald greatest hits set is a mouth-watering prospect that Tuff Life Boogie is delighted to present on what is going to be a tremendous double bill. Do not miss!
