Sordid Ordeal are a colossal stout rock band from Melbourne, Australia. They combine folkish story-telling & ballads with blistering, mangy rock and epic anthems. They weld together the abrasive & heavy with the gentle & intimate, creating an incendiary mix of subversion and hedonism.


Sordid Ordeal

We still have sore heads and ringing ears, but our hearts are full. Thank you so much to everybody that came down to Stay Gold to support Sordid Ordeal for our single launch! It was an honour and a pleasure to entertain you. Thank you so much to all the incredible support acts who helped us celebrate.
The Queen of Burlyrock and Leading Lady of our video clip 'Tigress' ‪@ferrimaya_burlyrock‬ left a trail of shattered jaws on the floor after her tantalising display. Maquina Peligrosa punctured a hole through our chests with their blistering performance and Honeybone rocked us in to the crust of the earth. Big congratulations to ‪@Dale.Dixon.313‬ on his first billed performance in years, it was a pleasure to see him perform his music again. Thank you to the amazing Helena Black for displaying her incredible art for the night, we picked up a koala patch, we hope you did too!
Thank you again to the venue for having us in your incredible space and thank you massively to Casper for being such an incredible engineer for the night! If you missed the launch you can still go listen to the new song in all the places you get your music, and you can see the new video on our YouTube channel! We have 2 more Victorian shows coming up for this year! Friday Nov 15 at Volta in Ballarat supporting Painters and Dockers, and Saturday Nov 30 headlining Metal In The Mountains in Beechworth!

'TIGRESS' OUT NOW!!!

Our latest song is now on all streaming platforms!

Link in our bio!



Tigress tells the story of a woman leaving her small-town, conservative upbringing and exploring art, music, culture and sexual indulgence in 1980s Sydney.

Our bluesiest distillation yet, and a hot-rodded, highway road-trip banger, make sure you've got the volume up when you let it rip!
