The Purple Sneakers crew weren’t happy with consistently drawing as many as 800 kids every Friday night at what is Sydney’s longest-running indie club night – they’re embarking on another national tour this month that will see them taking their indie/mashup sound right across the nation, presented by inthemix! We couldn’t have put it better ourselves, so we’re gonna quote them directly: “Purple Sneakers DJs are here to prove that just because you play indie, you don’t have to suck balls as a DJ!”

Boundary Sounds mainman PhDJ will be leading the charge on the tour, playing alongside Talkie, Ben Lucid, Nick Findlay and M.I.T. They’re a crew that have provided support DJ for the likes of Lily Allen, Ian Brown and The Presets as well as performing to massive crowds at festivals like Splendour in Grass, Big Day Out, Field Day, Good Vibrations, Parklife and loads more.

It’s far from the first time they’ve ventured out of their hometown of Sydney, but it’ll make for their most extensive national tour yet so if you’re down with what they do, make sure you catch them when they venture into our corner of the country…
