Confidence Man (band)

Confidence Man are an Australian indie electro pop band formed in 2016 in Brisbane, Queensland.

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,[3] and use pseudonyms in Confidence Man; McGuffie and Goodchild reportedly took their stage names from tombstones.

[4] They started writing dance songs together, initially as a "kind of joke", but eventually realised the material was worth pursuing.

[5] Planet and Bones provide vocals and dancing while Goodchild and McGuffie, who appear as masked figures, play keyboards and drums.

[7] 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.

[9] 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?"

In late 2022, the band toured Australia, the United Kingdom and Europe, which also included a performance at Glastonbury Festival which received critical acclaim.

The single continued the shift from electro-pop towards a club-focused sound which had begun with Tilt, and marked their debut at new label home at Polydor.

[16] In July, the band released a collaboration with Swedish producer DJ Seinfeld on dance-pop record "Now U Do".
