The Great Emu War Casualties was born near the end of 2017 on the other side of the world in a small village in the UK called Liverpool.
The band, whose tracks are regularly described as quirky, eclectic and eccentric, are really just a pop group who cite Talking Heads, The Killers, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Everything Everything and John Grant among their main influences. In the year that they’ve been in Australia they have played incessantly, headlining Oxford Arts Factory and The Factory Theatre in Sydney and hosting residencies at The Evelyn and The Tote in Melbourne.
They released three EPs in 2018 with Aardvark Records in the UK, three singles in 2019 and plan to continue the rule of three this year with three more singles and three live studio sessions on the way.
The PR Files has loved working with The Great Emu War Casualties on their singles “Welcome and Good Luck” and “The Australian Parma Crisis”.
