Mulubinba/Newcastle artist Dane Tutty has today released two new singles, Diamonds and Stay.
Lyrically, Diamonds is penned as a letter to Dane‘s son as he navigated hard times in a relationship. Second track, Stay, is a heartfelt and emotional song written in the wake of one of too many funerals from suicide this year.
Dane has been an integral part of the Newcastle punk and alternative scene for years now. Originally from Forster NSW, after relocating to Newcastle he quickly found himself playing bass and touring the country endlessly with his previous band Liberation Front, who were lucky enough to play shows with Anti Flag, The Flatliners and Guttermouth during their time.
Recently, Dane has been working hard on his solo career releasing 3 EPs; ‘Bend & Break’ (2021), ‘Swimming As A Metaphor’ (2022) and ‘If It All Burns Down’ (2024). The former was a collaborative effort with fellow Novocastrian Jen Buxton, which saw significant radio support from the likes of FBi, 2SER, 4ZZZ & more.
Dane has had plenty of experience on the stage recently – opening up numerous times for country-punks Amends, as well as Trophy Eyes frontman John Floreani. He also happens to run a popular tattoo studio (@Downundertatoo) that has inked the skin of just about every muso in the city.
Diamonds and Stay are the newest releases from a larger body of work recently recorded by Dane set for release in 2025, with a string of intimate shows yet to be announced.
