THE BADLOVES
‘GET ON BOARD’
Tour

.

.

One of Australia’s most cherished bands, The Badloves, are getting ready to hit the road for their vinyl release tour.  The local lads will be performing at venues across the country and at one of Melbourne’s much-loved live music institutions.

The Badloves became a household name in the ’90s with their debut album Get On Board.  It spent a massive 69 weeks in the charts, peaked at No. 5, and went on to achieved double-platinum sales.  The critically acclaimed album delivered four hit singles: Lost, Memphis, I Remember, and Green Limousine.   The band then went on to be nominated for five ARIA Awards – Album of The Year, Single of The Year (Lost), Breakthrough Artist – Album, Breakthrough Artist – Single (Lost), and Best New Talent.  The band secured two awards for Breakthrough Artist – Album and Breakthrough Artist – Single.

After extensive tours in Australia and Europe, they released their second album in 1995, Holy Roadside.  It was a Top 15 chart debut, received further ARIA nominations, and another string of hit singles in Slave, Barefoot Bride, Living Thing, and Caroline, establishing them as one of this country’s premier acts.

Whilst The Badloves wagon has rarely left the road in 30 long years, their recording output has been sparse.  The drought finally broke in late 2019 when the band released the superb soulbrothertruckinsong – their first new single in 17 years.  The Badloves continue to build on their legacy with the arrival of their latest single, Tribal, which has already received strong support from Australian radio.  The song was inspired by one of Michael Spiby’s recurring dreams.  Spiby explains “I don’t usually remember dreams, they’re so hard to catch. But often enough I wake up disturbed by this one recurring theme…how will I keep my little tribe together in tough times, am I up to the task? ‘Tribal’ is my recurring dream, caught in the light of day.”

In April 2021, for the first time, Warner Music will be releasing Get On Board on vinyl and as a digital deluxe that will include unreleased tracks from their 1993 Triple J Live At The Wireless session.  Leading into the release, the band’s videos will be digitized for the first time, with the videos from Get On Board to be staggered from November 30.  To celebrate the re-issue of Get On Board the band will be embarking on a national Australian tour.
