Confidence Man (band)


Confidence Man is an indie, electro pop band from Brisbane, Australia, formed in 2016. They released their award-winning debut album Confident Music For Confident People in April 2018. The brother-sister front-duo and their talented band members have been a part of many festivals across Australia, most notably Splendour in the Grass and Falls Festival.

Background

The band was formed in 2016. The members had met on the Brisbane music scene, and had been in other bands including: The Belligerents, Moses Gunn Collective and The Jungle Giants, and use pseudonyms in Confidence Man. They started writing dance songs together, initially as a "kind of joke", but eventually realised the material was worth pursuing.

Confidence Man released their debut album, Confident Music for Confident People, on 13 April 2018. They toured Europe extensively in the middle of the same year, with festival slots and a sell-out at London's Scala before returning to Australia for dates in September.

On 17 November 2019, Janet Planet and Sugar Bones were guests on Richard Kingsmill's '2019' programme on Triple J to premiere their new single "Does It Make You Feel Good?"
