Kingswood Announce Tasmania + Regional NSW Shows
With Special Guests Dear Seattle
Performing at Splendour in the Grass
“It’s hard to imagine the Aussie rock scene in 2017 without Kingswood.” – The Brag
“Down decibels, up blue notes on hard rockers’ radical reinvention… It’s bold notice of a soulful departure from the twisted metallic edges of the Melbourne art-rockers’ 2015 debut.” – 4 Stars, Rolling Stone
“The fact that Kingswood has made such an experimental move will surprise a lot of music lovers… you’ll be very thankful that they were brave enough to go in this direction.” – Heavy Mag
Packing out venues and playing to sold-out rooms across Australia on their largest tour to date, with their second ARIA Top 10 album up their sleeve and a newly announced slot at this year’s sold-out Splendour in the Grass, performing alongside heavyweights Queens of the Stone Age and LCD Soundsystem, there is just no stopping Melbourne rockers KINGSWOOD. Keeping the party alive, today they announce a brand new string of Tasmania and regional NSW shows, showcasing their latest album After Hours, Close to Dawn, including huge hits ‘Golden’and ‘Creepin’, to these audiences for the very first time!
After Hours, Close To Dawn was named in Rolling Stone Australia’s 50 Most Anticipated Albums of 2017, as well as The Herald Sun’s Biggest New Albums in 2017, mixing an eclectic collection of R’n’B grooves with soaring rock & roll, garage soul and space age experimentation. It’s all connected by the defining element that is the trio’s creative DNA. No matter what shape they take, these songs are still instantly recognizable as pure KINGSWOOD.
Joining the fellas on the road and taking on main support duties will be Sydney’s four-piece Dear Seattle. Serving up a broad spectrum of groove-tinted indie rock and high-impact choruses reminiscent of early 90’s grunge, they’re no strangers to the scene having supported Citizen (US), Emarosa (US) and Trophy Eyes (AUS). Their latest track ‘The Meadows’ is a little taster of what you can expect from their upcoming sophomore EP.
