Alunah Announce July UK Shows; Amber & Gold CD Available
Would you believe me if I told you these Alunah tour dates had been rescheduled? Yes, of course you would, because you too have lived through the last year-plus and are old enough to read this sentence. Kudos on that, by the way.
Yes, Alunah originally announced this relatively brief UK run last September, and at the time it was a Feb. 2021 tour. Well. We know how February went — as in, it did, without shows. Fortunately, however, Alunah have persisted — and likewise their booking agency — and a new round of gigs has been confirmed for July. Okay. According to the BBC as of four days ago, the hope in England is that all nightclubs will be able to fully reopen no later than June 21. That seems ambitious to me, but I have to acknowledge that I base my own assessment on other than my trauma-induced skepticism and Boris Johnson’s hair. I know next to nothing of vaccination or case rates in England and Scotland, where these shows will happen. But still.
So hey, maybe Alunah are rolling the dice a little bit, cutting it close with July shows. If it works, triumph! If not, they reschedule again. It’s not like they’re losing anything by giving it a shot and the potential gain of being someone’s first show post-lockdown is the stuff of for-a-lifetime memories. Worth it, I’d think.
The dates follow here, and in addition to 2019’s Violet Hour (review here) still being readily available on Heavy Psych Sounds, on March 26, the band issued a CD version of their prior 2018 EP, Amber & Gold (review here), through Solitude Productions. Links for that are below as well:
