‘First Class Tour’ | Nov/Dec 2022
It’s the hottest tour this Spring: critically acclaimed Houston, Texas three-piece Khruangbin return to Australia for the first time since 2019, playing their biggest live shows ever down under. With seven sold-out headline shows in Fremantle, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, plus a set at Adelaide’s Harvest Festival, the band have one extra present for VIC fans up their sleeve…
With the virtuosic trio’s previously announced performance at Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl now officially sold out, Khruangbin – Laura ‘Leezy’ Lee (bass), Donald Johnson (drums) and Marko Speer (guitar) – announce a final, intimate club show at 170 Russell on Sunday 4 December. Joining them on the night is hometown groove cosmonauts Mildlife.
Tickets for this intimate club gig from one of the world’s leading bands go on sale Tuesday 11 October (1pm local time) via frontiertouring.com/khruangbin – these will go fast, so don’t delay! Frontier, Chugg and Penny Drop Members can also access the Member’s Presale, which begins Monday 10 October (12pm local time, see website for full info).
Just last month Khruangbin celebrated the release of a new 8-track collaborative album Ali (via label Dead Oceans), recorded with Malian guitarist Vieux Farka Touré. The musical pairing sees Khruangbin join forces with the celebrated musician in paying homage to his late father, famed Mali singer and multi-instrumentalist Ali Farka Touré. The resulting eight songs, as GQ puts it, “expands Khruangbin’s sound into blues territory with a hint of West African palm wine music. It’s more pulsing and energetic. You can zone out and cut a rug… First they pull you in. Then they make you float….”.
Universally adored, sonic instrumental world-builders Khruangbin possess a legendary live show, selling-out multiple nights at iconic venues worldwide. Their Melbourne shows are presented in partnership with ALWAYS LIVE, a state-wide celebration of contemporary live music supported by the Victorian Government through Visit Victoria.
