American electronic-rock act The Living Tombstone will tour Australia in 2025.
The duo of Yoav Landau and Sam Haft – who utilise gaming and meme culture to create a lot of their work, which includes material based on 'Five Nights At Freddy's' series, 'Overwatch', and 'My Little Pony' – will headline concerts in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne in July."Our fans connect to us because they're obsessed with lore and story. So now we're giving them a story that belongs entirely to them," Haft says, who portrays the primary vocalist character Rust onstage.
"I don't think of us as The Living Tombstone – I think of us as the two guys who write the story for The Living Tombstone. The act has its own world and its own characters for people to follow. It's our job to continue to provide fans with an interesting narrative."
Originally the YouTube project of Yoav who created The Living Tombstone, Sam joined the group in 2020 before releasing their debut album 'Zero One' the same year. Their catalogue of hits features such cuts as 'My Ordinary Life', 'It's Been So Long', 'Discord' and 'Five Night's At Freddy's'.
The pair are currently working on their sophomore album, titled 'Rust', with alternative producer CJ Baran (Panic! At The Disco, One OK Rock), which is out later this year.
"Just as 'Zero One' was an album about looking inward, 'Rust' is an album about looking outward," Haft says. "It's an album about rebellion, dystopia, and an angry optimism that we can create the future we deserve."
TLT's manager, Octone Records co-founder David Boxenbaum, never thought he would manage an act, but something surprised him when he first encountered TLT. "These guys disprove the rule, that you can't just put your music out there and expect people to find it. These guys put it out there, and millions of people found it."
Tickets on sale from 10am (local time) on 24 April.
