Savages announce Dark Mofo sideshows
Already announced for MONA’s annual Dark Mofo winter festival, Savages today reveal that they will play two east coast Australian headline shows this June. The four-piece will take in Sydney’s Metro Theatre on Thursday 16th June, and will conclude their run at Melbourne’s Corner Hotel on Sunday 19th June.
Since they last toured Australia around the 2014 Laneway Festival, Savages have released an acclaimed new album, Adore Life, played live on US talk shows Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and continue to tour extensively, taking in iconic venues including Manchester’s Albert Hall and San Francisco’s The Fillmore. This weekend, they will hit the stage at Coachella for an anticipated festival set, before continuing on to Sasquatch Music Festival.
Current album single The Answer is a frenetic guitar-fuelled anthem, led by the intensity of Jehnny Beth’s raw vocals. Released in January, Adore Life was recorded in RAK Studios, London in April 2015. It is a record about change and the power to change, about sticking to your guns and toughing it out. It’s about now, not tomorrow.
