King Stingray is a story of lifelong friendship. Growing up together in Yirrkala North-East Arnhem Land (a very remote Aboriginal community on in the northern tip of Australia) founding members Theo Dimathaya Burarrwanga (frontman) and Roy Kellaway (guitar) have been playing and making music together for as long as they can remember. The band blend ancient indigenous melodies (Yolŋu Manikay) with surf, indie and funk influences to create their unique “Yolŋu surf-rock” sound which has captivated the nation. Hailed as "one of the most exciting acts in the country today" (NME), King Stingray took out triple j's "Unearthed Artist of the Year" J Award for 2021, NME Australia's "Best New Act From Australia" and Rolling Stone Australia's "Best New Artist" award all before an album was released. Their much-anticipated debut LP "King Stingray" dropped in August 2022, supported by a typically cheeky campaign encouraging fans to take #kingstingday off to celebrate the album’s release. The band was nominated for a whopping five ARIA Awards (including a win for the "Michael Gudinski Breakthrough Artist"). In 2023 the band won the "Australian Music Prize." A total of five singles from the album made it into triple j’s Hottest 100 making it the second most successful Aussie debuts in the history of the countdown. King Stingray on Facebook / Instagram
