ABOUT
Based in Melbourne/Naarm, alternative outfit Society of Beggars was formed by brothers Yianni and Dimitrios Michalopoulos (vocals and guitar) alongside Tom ‘Dibi’ Di Biase (drums) and Zoë Alexa (bass), earning a notorious reputation as one of Australia’s most energetic, visceral, and uncompromising live rock acts.
Following relentless domestic touring and international airplay for standout tracks like ‘God Mode’ and ‘Dance The Evil,’ the group cemented their cinematic weight with the release of their acclaimed 2024 debut full-length album, “Levitator.”
In 2026, Society of Beggars enter their most definitive, uncompromised era yet with their second full-length independent album, “Drunk on Love, Buried in Dust”, arriving everywhere on Friday, November 13th.
Preceded by the blister-popping post-punk anxiety of lead single “I Want I Want” and the groovy, swaggering garage-rock grit of follow-up “Swooping with Vultures,” the 10-track opus deals heavily in family, love, death, broken memory, and the extreme highs and deep lows of surviving in the city.
“This record is the most honest, brutal, and sensitive thing we’ve ever made,” says frontman Yianni Michalopoulos. “It’s a collection of songs for the late-night people, the burnouts, and the beautiful, fucked-up outsiders who were never going to make it out anyway. From screeching guitar feedback walls to acoustic solemnity, it’s the sound of coming into our garage on any given Saturday night. You’re going to get sticky, but you’re gonna have fun.”
