The Holidays Australian Tour 2014 has been announced as the band release a new single.
Following on from their successful national album tour in March, The Holidays have today announced an east coast run of new show dates. The dates coincide with the release of ‘Tongue Talk’ – the third single from the band’s popular sophomore LP, Real Feel.
Having received solid radio support and positive reviews since its release in late February, Real Feel marked the return of The Holidays after a wait of four long years with lead singles ‘All Time High’ and ‘Home’. Now comes, ‘Tongue Talk’, the freshest cut from Real Feel, mixing synth pop with a little added pizzazz thanks to some cacophonous instrumental frustration and lyrical wordplay echoing the song’s tongue-tied subject matter.
The critical acclaim garnered by Real Feel coupled with gleaming live reviews has elevated The Holidays to their biggest shows yet – The Metro Theatre in Sydney and The Hi-Fi in Melbourne.
Joining The Holidays on major city dates will be Triple J Unearthed fave, Thief.
The electronic pop brainchild of PJ Wolf, who traded in his guitars for synthesizers, Thief crafts a fresh minimalist sound that would embrace the aesthetic of contemporaries such as Metronomy, Miike Snow, Frank Ocean and N.E.R.D.
In Newcastle, Pluto Jonze has the opening honour, whilst in Wollongong, Step Panther will support. Tickets for The Holidays Australian Tour 2014 the tour go on sale this Wednesday 14 May.
