Mistletone + The Thousands are proud to present the return of The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart with special guests Geoffrey O’Connor + Pop Singles and DJ Twee of Life (aka Anthony Carew)at The Hi-Fi on Thursday, 2 February. Tickets on sale now from the venue.

It’s not hard to get your head around the appeal of THE PAINS OF BEING PURE AT HEART. Belong is their second album and it’s classic indie pop: jangly guitars, sun-soaked melodies, themes of heartbreak, redemption and so on. It’s like they sat down and wrote an album specifically for the Australasian summer!

Hailing from Brooklyn, The Pains of Being Pure At Heart became one of the most talked about indie pop bands with their self-titled debut album on Slumberland; an instant classic packed with brilliantly-executed pop gems. Drawing on the sparkling legacy of 80s and 90s indie pop, the Pains blend their rush of youthful enthusiasm with crafty arrangements, well-honed tunes and buckets of guitar racket. There is something instantly identifiable about a Pains tune, and it is the essential rightness of their records that has captured the attention of pop fans around the world.

Overflowing with exuberance, charm and songcraft, the Pains breathe new life into indie pop. Supported by the ever-wonderful Geoffrey O’Connor, this will be a night of swoonful pop bliss.
