5 Excuses To Get Out Of Doing Things With Tall Pines

Tall Pines
Our eclectic team of writers from around Australia – and a couple beyond – with decades of combined experience and interest in all fields.

A grungegaze, sludgepop trio from Brisbane, Tall Pines are: Owen, Kelly and Cam.


Ahead of their first show as a band, when they support Bad Bangers' EP launch next week, the band give you five excuses why you don't need to go see them play. Jokes.



1. Soz I’m sick

A Tall Pines favourite that will ensure you are released from your commitments in a timely fashion and often receive offerings of sympathy and well wishes in return. SCORE!

2. Gotta go, I think I left the iron on

A great excuse for when you need to make a hasty exit.

3. It’s my (insert family member’s) birthday

The familial bond can be exploited to no end. When you run out of immediate family, start scrolling through second and third cousins and such.

4. I’m out of the country

How can cousin Susie really be mad at you for missing her wedding when you were off exploring the Amazon Basin. It does help to be somewhat skilled in photoshop before you roll this one out.

5. Sorry, shit's been crazy

Vague and ominous when said with the right, defeated tone. Most people will accept this excuse without issue out of fear you will want to talk about your problems.

Tall Pines play The Bearded Lady 21 January.
