The Jungle Giants

The Jungle Giants land at Fortune Sound Club in Vancouver on October 14, 2026. Formed in Brisbane in 2011, the quartet — Sam Hales, Cesira Aitken, Andrew Dooris and Keelan Bijker — has eased from wiry indie rock into a dance-leaning indie pop built on upfront basslines, bright guitars and tight, percussive grooves that brush against electro pop. On stage, they channel that shift with economical hooks and rhythmic snap, moving from the urgency of early EPs through Learn to Exist and Speakerzoid to the more nocturnal pull of Quiet Ferocity and the crisp, studio-led writing that Hales pushed on Love Signs.

Their 2026 album, Experiencing Feelings of Joy, extends that focus on production detail and groove, while the Hermitude link-up When You Feel Like This nods to their taste for electronic textures. Live, the set often threads these chapters without fuss, carried by Hales’s vocals, Aitken’s clean lines, Dooris’s low-end drive and Bijker’s precise drums. A compact, direct show that favors movement over posturing, and a clear snapshot of where The Jungle Giants are now.
