The Great Sabatini Post New Video for “The Royal We” and Announce Tour Dates
If you checked out the video for Montreal four-piece The Great Sabatini‘s “Akela” back in July, you’ll want to go into their new one for “The Royal We” with advance notice that it’s a much different affair. Compiled from still photographs taken at the release show for their new album, Dog Years, it’s kind of herky-jerky visually, but I’m talking even more about the difference in the songs between the two. Where “Akela” was instrumental, contemplative acoustics, “The Royal We” is a noise basher through and through, bordering on black metal screams topping undulating, raw riffs. They could not be much farther apart from each other, and no doubt that was The Great Sabatini‘s intent all along.
The Great Sabatini have announced East Coast and Midwestern dates in Canada and the US, and you’ll find those courtesy of the PR wire after the video below. Enjoy:

THE GREAT SABATINI Releases Yet Another Video From Recent LP; New Eastern North American Tour Announced
Montreal’s noise/sludge rock ringleaders, THE GREAT SABATINI, have just pulled the fifth official video from their Dog Years LP out of their hat, letting “The Royal We” loose into the crowd, while also declaring another new tour in support of the album.
In the ongoing outbreak of videos for their early June-released third album, Dog Years, already including “Akela,” “Periwinkle Love Hammer,”
“Munera” and “Guest Of Honour,” THE GREAT SABATINI filmed the latest at a recent gig among their massive, ongoing tour schedule — from loading in, to getting loaded, to unloading onto the crowd, with “The Royal We,” playing RIGHT HERE.
THE GREAT SABATINI will also reload and fire into the US again later this month, with another widespread incursion in support of Dog Years. The Dog Years Fall Tour 2014 will kick off with two shows in Canada before hitting eighteen Eastern American cities through the first week of October.
Dog Years was recorded, mixed and mastered by Sean Pearson (Cursed, Shallow North Dakota), and boasts THE GREAT SABATINI’s raw, unpolished approach to capture n act with years of accumulated experience touring, writing and recording together. The aim was to create a hi-fi document with all of their lo-fi sensibilities, grit and live energy intact, and the results are astoundingly destructive. French noise/metal label, Solar Flare Records, released the album on CD, digital and LP formats, the latter available on both black and transparent red vinyl; place orders through Solar Flare Records HERE and via the band HERE.
