Adrift for Days to Play Melbourne and Adelaide this Weekend
I love a weekender tour. It lets bands still get their music out to people and, you know, also have a life, maybe hold a job, maintain interpersonal relationships, etc. You know, the little things we do that don’t necessarily involve riffs and giant ride cymbals. Aussie doomers Adrift for Days are headed out this weekend in support of their soon-to-be-reviewed Come Midnight… sophomore album, and the following news came in on the PR wire about the shows (there’s one in August as well), which I’ve decided to post in no small part because I wish I was in Australia right now. It’s 52/11° in Melbourne, which sounds just about right to me.
Here’s the info:
Adrift for Days mini tour July 2012
Sydney psychedelic droners Adrift for Days are hitting Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney as part of a mini-tour in support of their new album Come Midnight…
On Come Midnight… Adrift for Days have retained the smoky, psychedelic heaviness that they’ve become known for, while also ambitiously expanding their sound. This sprawling album incorporates elements of doom, drone, stoner, sludge, blues, ambience, psychedelic rock, and post-metal. As a result, the album as a whole is hard to pin down to a single style or genre.
Their latest meditation is an ambitious, 71-minute concept album that draws influence from Earth, Jimi Hendrix, YOB, The Doors, Neurosis, Pink Floyd, Rosetta and Boris — and is currently streaming in full over at Art as Catharsis.
Be sure to catch Australia’s psychedelic droning doom giants when they hit your town!
