Music News - Shellac to play five New Zealand dates
20 October 2015 - 0 Comments
“Shellac don’t play many gigs but when they do you can feel the
whole world move.” - http://www.louderthanwar.com/
Drunken Piano is absolutely stoked to announce that alternative music legends Shellac will visit
New Zealand for five intimate shows on their way to Australia for Meredith
Festival.
Shellac formed in Chicago in 1992 when bassist Bob Weston moved to the area, joining
drummer Todd Trainer and guitarist Steve
Albini, who had been playing music together. Shellac’s first
live shows were in Chicago the following year, followed by dates in Australia,
Japan, and New Zealand, incidentally the same three countries the band will
tour between now and Christmas.
The band’s fifth LP Dude
Incredible was released in September 2014 by long time
label Touch and Go Records. When including the record on Pitchfork’s top 50
albums of 2014, Vish Khanna said “Dude
Incredible is an honest representation of gifted musicians playing
punk rock together with patient breath and coiled abandon.”
Touch and Go’s website says “While there is no specific coordination between
Shellac's record releases and touring schedules, you can expect the band to
tour at its usual sporadic and relaxed pace.”
The band promises that “new music can be expected anytime between now and the
future.” In the meantime, be quick to secure tickets to see these giants of
music live at one or more of these special shows.
