ROMANIE
romanie live in the ballroom
Multi-award-winning Naarm/Melbourne-via-Belgium indie musician Romanie will launch her sophomore LP It’s Not That Funny at Railway Hotel this May.
It’s Not That Funny is Romanie’s most expansive and emotionally direct work to date. Moving between chaos and calm, anguish and optimism, the record explores trauma, healing and growth with raw lyricism and a growing grit in her sound. Featuring collaborations with Hamish Mitchell (Armlock), Tom Stell (Golden Features) and Adam Hyde (Peking Duk/Keli Holiday), the album builds on the candid storytelling that defined her debut while pushing further into heavier, bass-driven territory.
The night marks a full-circle moment: the official video for focus track ‘Falling’ was filmed at the Railway Hotel during Romanie’s birthday celebration, where friends showed up in wedding dresses in a tribute to community and connection. That same spirit of vulnerability, joy and togetherness sits at the heart of the album and will shape this special launch. Feel free to dust off your wedding dresses again and come get married to your friends!
Special opening act are Romanie’s dear friends Jeane, thoughtfully chosen for the occasion. The day before the show, Romanie and Jeane will be writing a brand new song together and sharing it on stage at the launch in whatever form it’s taken; raw, unfinished, or something entirely unexpected. It’s a one-off collaboration, so come early and be part of it.
Joined by her band, Romanie will perform It’s Not That Funny live in full, bringing its intimate and powerful moments to the stage in the very room where part of its story was captured.
