Cold War Kids Australian Tour
Cold War Kids Announce side-shows and unveil details of their forthcoming third studio album, ‘Mine Is Yours’.
Having been announced to appear at Falls Festival, Sunset Sounds and
Southbound this Summer, Chugg Entertainment and XIII Touring are pleased
to announce that Cold War Kids will be performing two exclusive
sideshows @ The Forum Theatre, Melbourne Tuesday 4th Jan and @ Enmore Theatre, Sydney Thursday 6th Jan.
Entitled ‘Mine Is Yours‘, the new album is set for release in January next year, and was produced by the multi-talented Grammy Award winner Jacquire King, who has previously worked with the likes of Kings Of Leon and Modest Mouse.
After forming in Long Beach in 2004 and immediately generating feverish blog buzz – Cold War Kids signed quickly to label Downtown Records (the home of Gnarls Barkley and Art Brut). They then hit the road for the better part of two years – honing their live show all over the world. A spectacle to say the least – a Cold War Kids performance could include anything from gigantic crowd sing-a-longs to unique and mood driven lighting. Their latest EP, Behave Yourself ,which features triple j hit Audience - sounds like some kind of twisted lost Motown groove –is sure to set any crowd alight.
With debut album ‘Robbers & Cowards‘ in 2006, Cold War Kids became one of the hottest new bands around, with the tracks ‘Hang Me Up To Dry‘ and ‘Hospital Beds’ being some of the most striking releases of recent years.
Frontman Nathan Willett discussed the changes in the band’s personal lives which have influenced the recording of their new LP. “I got home from tour and realized I was married,” he said. “All my friends had either jumped in the deep end of a relationship or had drowned.
When did things get so serious? We fought growing up but the wild nights and free-for-all caught up to us. Some people got out in time and others had permanent damage. For this record, I wrote about the joys and failures of commitment all around me.”
Cold War Kids are also appearing at Falls Festival, Marion Bay 30th Dec, Falls Festival, Lorne 31st Dec, Southbound Festival, Margret River 2nd Jan, Sunset Sounds Festival Brisbane 5th Jan
