Sticky Carpet: The Preatures have something to style about

Ahead of their arena shows next month, including April 24 in Melbourne and April 27 in Sydney, the Preatures will be among this weekend's must see bands when they land in the Supernatural Amphitheatre at the 12th annual Golden Plains festival.

The Sydney outfit with singer Isabella Manfredi out front of guitarist Jack Moffit, bass player Tom Champion and drummer Luke Davison, will make the trip south to Victoria with a batch of new songs to play, songs they proudly wrote and recorded in their hometown. "We wanted this record to sound like Sydney," Manfredi told Fairfax Media last year after the release of Girlhood, the follow-up to 2014's debut album Blue Planet Eyes, which quickly went top five on ARIA's album chart.

There were some unavoidable delays in releasing their second album, but "sometimes you have to live with something longer," Manfredi said about the songs that eventually made it to their latest long player. The upcoming tour follows a triumphant hometown show in September, just a couple of weeks after Girlhood was released. After 2013's Is This How You Feel? came ninth on that year's Triple J Hottest 100, now the Preatures want to know how you feel about their new songs.

They're supporting Harry Styles in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. For all tour dates, go to thepreatures.com
