Canada's The Birthday Massacre announce 'Under Your Spell' UK tour 2017 dates

21/7/2017

0 Comments

 
Picture

The Birthday Massacre have announced a UK tour to promote their new album, ‘Under Your Spell’. The itinerary is as follows : 


24.10.17  LONDON O2 Academy Islington
25.10.17  MANCHESTER Ruby Lounge
27.10.17  EDINBURGH Opium
28.10.17  WHITBY Goth Festival
29.10.17  GLASGOW Ivory Blacks
31.10.17  BRISTOL Fleece
01.11.17  READING Sub 89
02.11.17  SOUTHAMPTON Engine Rooms
03.11.17  WOLVERHAMPTON Slade Rooms


Further details will be announced in due course.

‘Under Your Spell' was released on 9th June by Metropolis Records.

‘Under Your Spell’ is the 7th album by the Birthday Massacre, and with it comes eleven songs that  reveal a side of the Canadian band that audiences may not be familiar with. Driven with the band’s  signature, unique blend of spiralling synth melodies, walls of guitar and evocative vocals, the new songs range from dark, aggressive anthems to danceable, pretty pop and hit all the bases that  audiences have come to expect. However, there is also a rawness to the emotion expressed, an  openness and vulnerability that feels new. 


One thing that is clearer than ever, however, is the tight bond that exists between the band members and their willingness to explore heartbreak and loss together. With these songs, they have entered  the darkness of their most fragile emotions and returned with a cohesive and detailed musical portrait that captures both the anger and hope that exist within a moment in time.


The Birthday Massacre continue to make music that is unique to them, once again managing to  create an album that somehow feels so familiar, yet challenges the listener to continue alongside them on their ever-changing, ever-growing journey.

Skunk Anansie have announced some additional UK headline & festival shows for May 2017; these follow on from a full European tour kicking off in late January, with the band set to visit 14 different countries across a six week period, including a sold out London date at the Brixton Academy on February 4th.

Support on the European tour comes from edgy, rockin’ duo, The Pearl Harts. 
An opening act for the UK shows in May is still to be confirmed, but the dates & venues are as follows:-

May 25th – Bristol, O2 Academy
May 26th – South Derbyshire, Bearded Theory Festival (‘Pallet’ stage headliner)
May 27th – Manchester, O2 Ritz

‘Anarchytecture’ – Skunk Anansie’s sixth studio album, produced by Tom Dalgety (Royal Blood, Pixies, Ghost) – was released last year to much critical acclaim and impressive official chart positions, with Classic Rock magazine saying, ‘Like Queen or Muse, they’re at their best when they push beyond the narrow centre-ground of hard rock in search of something bigger, stranger and more glamorous…’

‘Anarchytecture’ is available to purchase here via Amazon or here via iTunes.
