Sarah McLeod & Dallas Frasca team up on ‘Til It’s Gone’

Just ahead of their extensive GREEN ELECTRIC TOUR which kicks off in a few weeks, 2 of Australia’s most accomplished voices in rock, Dallas Frasca & Sarah McLeod have joined forces on ‘Til It’s Gone’ – out today via SpankBetty Records & Community Records.

Produced by Frasca, along with mixing from Andy Baldwin (Björk, Car Seat Headrest, The Cat Empire) and mastering from Lachlan Carrick,‘Til It’s Gone’ is a perfect balance of both iconic voices – showcasing their powerful range as they wail over the top of a bluesy, classic rock backing.

The single comes at a great time, as the two prepare to hit the road on a 15-date-tour across the country. The Green Electric Tour sees the pair taking on an important mission – looking to reduce their emissions and use strategies to bring down their environmental footprint throughout the tour, as well as support some very worthy causes. Lyrically, the single reinforces exactly what the pair are fighting for, looking for action on the environment before it’s too late.

“The song was inspired by a line in Big Yellow Taxi, written more than half a century ago, and it’s confronting how little has changed. We’re still prioritising profit over care for country, and the climate is pushing back hard. Til It’s Gone speaks to the moment we’re in right now, a crossroads, and the responsibility we all share to make better choices before the damage becomes irreversible.” DALLAS FRASCA & SARAH MCLEOD

Recorded across three Victorian home studios, including Dallas’, Sarah’s, and drummer Josh Barber’s Church Studio in Mollongghip, the track embraces a deliberately DIY, low-impact approach, proving powerful work doesn’t require bloated systems.

Released alongside the single today is a music video for ‘Til It’s Gone’, directed by Scott Major.

“Visually we wanted to place the song in a future that feels uncomfortably close with black markings worn as sun protection and as armour. A dystopian future that no longer feels that far off.” SARAH McLEOD

ARIA winner and South Australian Music Hall of Fame inductee Sarah, both as a solo performer and front-woman of Australian rock legends The Superjesus, has had a long and accomplished career across many different facets of the industry. As one of the seminal alt-rock acts of the 90s and early 2000s, The Superjesus dominated the charts with platinum albums such as ‘Sumo’ and ‘Jet Age’. Mcleod has also had a successful solo career, releasing his debut solo record ‘Beauty Was A Tiger’ in 2005 and releasing 3 albums since. As a leader of the industry, she has remained a passionate advocate for change and progress within the Australian music space. A wickedly versatile songwriter and performer, McLeod is also the Chair of Australian Women in Music, bringing her years of industry experience together with her ongoing commitment to changing the structure of the music industry as it stands today.

APRA and AWMA nominated artist Dallas, is a kindred spirit of sorts for Sarah, again another artist who has brought bold and visceral energy to her expansive catalogue of music and live performances across many years. The release of her latest album, Force Of Nature (2024), propelled Dallas back onto radars in a big way – debuting at #2 on the ARIA Blues Chartduring its first week of release, the #1 spot on the AMRAP Charts, and saw her being invited to support ZZ Top on their Aus/NZ arena tour last year.

Teaming up with Green Music Australia, Sarah and Dallas have added a small levy to fund measurable sustainable touring actions on the Green Electric Tour, with the tour proudly supported by Music Australia, The Harbour Agency, and Spank Betty Records; the tour also supports Seed Mob, Australia’s first Indigenous youth-led climate justice organisation in their ongoing fight for climate justice.

From recycled merchandise and sustainable travel routes to meat-free catering and eco-certified accommodation, every detail has been designed to minimise impact on the Green Electric Tour. Fans are invited to join the movement by wearing their bestsustainable fashion to the gigs, and carpooling, taking public transport, walking, or riding bikes to venues wherever possible — making the audience part of the solution, not just the show.
