Bringing vintage influences to the 21st Century is the specialty of Sydney-based duo; Renee de la Motte and Thomas Eagleton better known as Salarymen. Carving out their unique sound with an addictive combination of indie, disco and psych references, Salarymen have developed a reputation for hypnotising crowds with their compelling songwriting, carefully crafted visuals and captivating live performances. Accompanied by their full live band, the dynamic pair invite you to close your eyes and transport yourself to a completely different era, escape the hustle and bustle of our modern lives and instead chase simpler times. With two enigmatic lead singers and influences spanning Arcade Fire and Tame Impala, to The Strokes and Fleetwood Mac, Salarymen are a band you will remember and talk about for years to come.
Salarymen have dominated 2024, touring Australia with the likes of Royel Otis and San Cisco, performing at international showcases including SXSW Austin and The Great Escape, selling out their first ever show in the UK and completing a 10-date tour to follow. They’ve also won over crowds on their debut tour of Japan and played at festivals including Lost Paradise, Mountain Goat Valley Crawl and The Gum Ball.
Praise has come from all corners of the music industry, being added to rotation on triple j, FBi, 2SER and SYN, played on BBC6, Radio X and KEXP, gaining regular spots on local / international Spotify and Apple Music playlists and featuring on NME, The Guardian, Clash, Pilerats, Life Without Andy and much more. Aside from this, they’ve shared stages with the likes of The Lazy Eyes, Pacific Avenue, Eliza & The Delusionals and The Vanns.
Salarymen’s extended body of work showcases a level of depth and songwriting prowess that is hard to ignore. Following their trips to Japan, America and the UK, the band is continuing their winning streak in 2025 with the recording of their debut album.
