Yugambeh/Gold Coast-based party starters Bootleg Rascal have unveiled their final single of 2024, along with plans to take their own curated mini-festival ‘BOOTY BLOCK PARTY’ around the country next March and April.
Dubbed ‘Drip Your Love’, the duo’s new slice of sultry indie-funk features South Summit’s Zaya and was produced by Caleb Tasker (Rum Jungle, The Terrys). Guitarist Jimmy Young describes it as the soundtrack to “long, hot summer days spent by the pool sipping ice cold, extra strong, homemade margies”.

Meanwhile, their BOOTY BLOCK PARTY tour will feature a combination of the Rascal’s muso mates Danté Knows, Dear Sunday, Dizzy Days and Tasman Keith at seven dates across the country next March, stopping in Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Darwin, Hobart, Brisbane and Canberra.
“Yeah, we thought we’d go all out and do every capital city but Sydney,” Young clarifies. “We’ve been out-priced of the accommodation for hotels there, so unless someone has a tent we can pitch in their backyard, then it’s no Sydney for now. If anyone is keen to hook us up though, please shout out; Carlos said he has a lot of experience pitching a tent, so we’ll be pretty self-sustainable”.
Funnily enough, Sydney was the birthplace of Bootleg Rascal’s BOOTY BLOCK PARTY mini festival, launching in early-2024 with a sold-out event.
