Queensland rockers Being Jane Lane have beat out some heavy competition to be crowned Queensland winners of VB Hard Yards.
The band will hit the road in October on tour alongside NSW winners Paper Thin and Victorians Claws & Organs, supporting local legends along the way.
The winners were selected from more than 600 applicants, reining victorious across the competitions shortlisting and the public voting process, meaning you can expect some serious talent across the four free shows.
The VB Hard Yards Tour will kick off in Melbourne with headliner Alex Lahey, before taking on Brisbane with WAAX, Newcastle with RAAVE TAPES and Sydney with Tired Lion.
After four years of playing as many stages in Brisbane as possible, recording an EP and three film clips to go with it, Being Jane Lane are currently working on their debut album. Teigan, Febe, Kate, Lou and Kayla have certainly impressed their sunshine state audience; winning the People’s Choice category for the Gold Coast Music Awards. This all girl punk rock powerhouse national is a force to be reckoned with.
Register via the Hard Yards website before September 23 for your chance to score tickets and head to theGuide for all dates, venues and other info.

WHEN THE SHOW CAN’T GO ON: COVID’S INVISIBLE VICTIMS
The Australian music industry is a delicate ecosystem at risk of total collapse unless it receives critical life support. The success of Australia’s live music industry lies in the people who make the show go on - the technicians, engineers, managers, hiring companies and more - those who are COVID’s invisible victims.
