Fremantle band San Cisco have announced their return to touring after an 18-month hiatus.

Fremantle band San Cisco have announced their return to music and touring after an 18-month hiatus caused by drummer and vocalist Scarlett Stevens' maternity leave. Stevens gave birth to daughter Donatella in May last year. The band, founded in 2009 by Stevens, frontman Jordi Davieson and Josh Biondillo, had not stepped away for such an extended period since forming.

Stevens described the time away as 'bittersweet'. She said she felt anxious about returning to the studio because 'it's like a muscle, and if you're not doing that every day, you feel like you're gonna lose that'. However, she added that 'singing again felt really good'.

During her absence, two people replaced Stevens on tour, including Davieson and Biondillo sometimes performing with James Ireland, Stevens' partner and drummer in fellow Fremantle band Pond. Davieson said the experience of touring without Stevens was 'quite a different experience', noting that while 'Scarlett plays drums like a metronome', Ireland was 'all over the place, but in a good way'.
