Background


The band was formed in 2016. The members had met on the Brisbane music scene, and had been in other bands including: The Belligerents, Moses Gunn Collective and The Jungle Giants,[2] and use pseudonyms in Confidence Man. They started writing dance songs together, initially as a "kind of joke", but eventually realised the material was worth pursuing.[3]


Music


Planet and Bones provide vocals and dancing while Goodchild and McGuffie, who appear as masked figures, play keyboards and drums. The band signed to UK label Heavenly Records and released their debut UK single, "Bubblegum", in March 2017.[3][4]

Confidence Man released their debut album, Confident Music for Confident People, on 13 April 2018.[5] They toured Europe extensively in the middle of the same year, with festival slots and a sell-out at London's Scala before returning to Australia for dates in September.[6]

The band released a Christmas single, "Santa's Coming Down the Chimney", in December 2018.[7]

On 17 November 2019, Janet Planet and Sugar Bones were guests on Richard Kingsmill's '2019' programme on Triple J to premiere their new single "Does It Make You Feel Good?" During the interview, they revealed they have made celebrity friends with U2 and had been partying with them and Noel Gallagher while in Melbourne. They continued to explain their plans to feature The Edge playing tambourine on a future recording.[8]

On 21 August 2020, Confidence Man released the single, "First Class Bitch."[9]

On 10 November 2021, the band announce the forthcoming release of their second studio album, Tilt and released "Holiday" as its lead single.[10]

Tilt was released on 1 April 2022 and peaked at number 7 on the ARIA charts.

In September 2022, the band will release a remix EP, titled Re-Tilt, featuring remixes and reworkings of tracks from Tilt.[11]
