<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><u><span style="font-size: 18px;">Any Young Mechanic - &#39;The Modern Shoe&#39; Tour&nbsp;</span></u></strong><br><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">with special guests Sevilles</span></strong></p><p style="text-align: center;">Tarntanya/Adelaide-based five-piece alt/indie folk band,<strong>&nbsp;Any Young Mechanic,</strong> will embark on their 2026 Australian Tour in support of their celebrated debut album, <em>&#39;The Modern Shoe is Ruining The Foot.&#39; &nbsp;</em>The album was released in June via Warner Records / 23 Recordings to overwhelming critical acclaim.&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: center;">Taking their name from a line in Hooray For Hollywood - inspired by the song&rsquo;s jarring use in Robert Altman&rsquo;s The Long Goodbye - Any Young Mechanic bring an aptly cinematic quality to their music. The Tarntanya/Adelaide-based five-piece are redefining contemporary folk through narrative-driven songwriting and vivid, widescreen arrangements.&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: center;">Before ever officially releasing music, they have already started building a reputation on the road, turning heads with striking festival appearances at Reading &amp; Leeds and Rock en Seine over the past year, and are set to return to touring throughout the year ahead. Drawing on classical training, the city&rsquo;s tight-knit DIY music scene, and modern UK experimental influences, they craft immersive songs built from criss-crossing rhythmic paths, melodic alleys and lyrical highways.&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: center;">Capturing the immediacy and energy of musicians performing together, Any Young Mechanic balance folk&rsquo;s enduring charm with bold, live acoustic instrumentation and a sharp, contemporary edge, creating music that feels intimate, expansive, and subtly different with every listen.</p><p dir="auto" style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p><hr style="text-align: center;"><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>TICK
