Jinja Safari

In less than 18 months, they have trekked through forest shows, pub gigs, national supports with Boy & Bear & Art Vs Science, major festivals and selling out a mid-year national headlining tour in support of the most recent EP, ‘Mermaids & Other Sirens’.


With one of the hands-down most encapsulating & incredible live shows in the country, it doesn’t take long to give yourself over to the beat of a drum, a room with a thousand smiles and young, able gentlemen haphazardly climbing speaker stacks.

To wrap up what has been a whirlwind dream-like journey so far, Jinja Safari are releasing a hearty 15-track collection, made up of their first two EP’s & new music and includes remixes from the coolest Australian indie producers over the last year: Sydney’s Fishing and Melbourne’s Butcher Blades.


‘Locked By Land’ will be released on 28th October as the first local release on Cooperative Music Australia, the newly minted ‘down under’ office of the legendary UK music company who are responsible for the likes of Phoenix, Bloc Party, The Drums, Interpol & Cold War Kids to name a few of Jinja Safari’s new label mates. To sweeten the deal, they will be hitting the road in November to play their largest rooms yet.

Jinja Safari is just a herd of ratbags chasing a little mischief, making it work in front of a ‘few people’… which is rapidly growing to be ‘many, many people’. This is not cool music, there is no target demographic, there is no flag to raise apart from their own.

This is your chance to join the Safari.
