ROWENA WISE - Bad Things Feel Good* Album Tour

<div name="messageBodySection">Indie-folk songwriter <strong>Rowena</strong> <strong>Wise</strong> and her full band celebrate sophomore album <em>Bad Things Feel Good</em>* at Howler, a tender, point-blank look at the pain of transformation, and what it means to be flesh and blood.</div><div name="messageBodySection"><br></div><div name="messageBodySection">Written over two years of near-constant touring and recorded live over three days at The Ratshack in Collingwood with producer Rob Muinos (Julia Jacklin, Didirri), the album traces heartbreak, estrangement, and the knottier growing pains of adulthood through candid poetic lyricism and a raw live band production. With Richard Bradbeer on bass and Jess Ellwood on drums, the songs hold space rather than demand attention - and in a room like Howler, that kind of restraint hits differently.&nbsp;</div><div name="messageBodySection"><br></div><div name="messageBodySection">Rowena&#39;s Melbourne headline shows have sold out both times. Since debuting in 2018, she has amassed over 10 million streams, earned airplay across <strong>triple j</strong>, <strong>Double j</strong> and <strong>Unearthed</strong>, and toured extensively across Australia, the UK, Europe, the USA and Canada, supporting artists including <strong>Holy Holy, Ball Park Music, Bernard Fanning</strong> and <strong>Paul</strong> <strong>Dempsey</strong>. Her 2024 debut album, <em>Senseless Acts of Beauty</em>, was praised by <strong>CLASH Magazine</strong> as &ldquo;<em>carefully etched indie folk</em>&rdquo; and shortlisted for the <strong>Australian Music Prize</strong>. Her highly anticipated sophomore album, <em>Bad Things Feel Good</em>*, a tender, point-blank meditation on transformation, is out August 7, 2026 via Beloved Records. <em>&quot;Carefully etched indie folk&quot;</em> &mdash; <strong>CLASH Magazine</strong> <em>&quot;Fragrant introspection&quot;</em> &mdash; <strong>FLOOD</strong>&nbsp;</div><div name="messageBodySection"><br></div><div name="messageBodySection"><strong>Tour supported by Double J.</strong></div><p><br></p><hr><p style="text-align: center;"><br><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">VENUE INFO</span></strong></p><p style="text-align: center;">Shows are Standing unless clearly stated.
