The Waifs new album, 25th anniversary tour
2017 marks 25 years of The Waifs! To celebrate and commemorate, the band will be hitting the road for a mammoth national tour, and are releasing their fourteen track studio album, Ironbark, along with 11 bonus tracks making a rousing collection of 25 songs, to celebrate 25 years. Recorded in true Waifs style in a make shift studio in the unfinished kitchen of Josh Cunningham’s rural retreat on the NSW south coast across two weeks.
Ironbark is a double album made for their incredibly loyal and loving fan base, for those who have been there from the start, and for those who have become fans of the band along the way.
From Tuesday 10th January, The Waifs will be giving away free download bonus songs each week until the official album release on Friday 3rd March. Ironbark will be available for pre-order at a very discounted price from their website from Thursday 12th February and from various retail outlets for the first 25 days of release as a gesture of thanks to fans. There will also be amazing ticket and album bundles for all headline concerts available so head to thewaifs.com for details.
You know all about The Waifs... meeting in Broome, Western Australia, traveling around - that old tale has been told many times. So The Waifs want to hear your stories. If their music has played a significant part in any event or time in your life they’d love to hear about it.
Send them an email and post your stories on their Facebook page. The Waifs would like to share some of your stories onstage, play some songs and weave it all together and celebrate.
