The Beaches are currently touring in Australia. During their visit, they performed a cover of Djo’s “End of Beginning” for Triple J’s Like A Version.

The song, written and performed by Stranger Things’ Joe Keery under the name Djo, recently went viral on TikTok.

“We’ve been really big fans of Joe for a while, obviously from his work on Stranger Things,” guitarist Kylie Miller said in the interview. She continued:

But also as a musician he’s incredibly talented and I think the song really relates to touring artists on the road because it’s all about missing where you’re from and your hometown. So I think it just made sense for us to cover this song while we are the farthest we’ve ever been from home.

I think that this song has a really kind of vintage feel. It kind of sounds like it came from a different era. That’s something that we really like to do in our music too, like reference a lot of ’80s new wave and I think he did that with a ’70s sound. We were drawn to it sonically when we first heard it. That whole record is just incredible and we’ve been listening to it a lot while we were on the road. It was a really easy choice for us when we found out we got to do this.
