With breakneck anticipation mounting for the release of Race Car Blues after its announce last week, Australian rock favourites Slowly Slowly are backing it up today with the announce of the Race Car Blues national tour.
Kicking off in April, The Race Car Blues Tour will criss-cross from Hobart to Perth, with tickets on sale via the band’s website from 9am AEDT, Thursday January 30. On taking the new album on the road, Slowly Slowly’s Ben Stewart says it feels getting a stack of new toys to play with.
“Over the past few years we have really come to love our time on stage, from someone who dreaded the spotlight a few years ago, I now feel so impatient to take this record around the country. I feel like a kid with a bunch of new toys or a painter with a set of new colours,” he says.
“I love how a live show evolves once you start to interpret the songs in front of an audience –the songs we have been playing for a few years have developed so much on stage to where although they have the same bones, they have become different beasts. I can’t wait to watch these songs get injected with the same energy and watch them stand on their own feet, taking us along for the ride. They mean so much to me and I have a feeling they will resonate with our truest fans.”

The Race Car Blues Tour comes after a watershed year of touring for Slowly Slowly in 2019. From a completely sold out Jellyfish headline tour, to festival appearances at the likes of Splendour In The Grass, Good Things and NYE On The Hill and a support slot with none other than Red Hot Chili Peppers, the band played some of their most prolific shows to date and continued to ramp up critical and fan rapture.
Featuring slow-burners like ‘Suicidal Evangelist’ and ‘How It Feels’, the explosive and defiant title track and stadium rock choruses on ‘Creature Of Habit’, ‘Michael Angelo’ and more, Race Car Blues is the follow up to their critically-acclaimed 2018 effort St. Leonards. Teeming with rock and punk influence and Stewart’s familiar vivid lyricism, the album marks some of Slowly Slowly’s most commanding music to date.
Race Car Blues drops in full on Friday February 28 via UNFD.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
