Australian noise-punk rockers DZ Deathrays complement the release today of their six studio album 'R.I.F.F.' with a massive national tour.
Shane, Simon and Lachlan will be on the road from late July to mid September visiting all mainland capital cities plus stopovers in Newcastle, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Townsville, Ballarat, Canberra and Wollongong as well as heap of other regional areas."We're stoked to announce the 'R.I.F.F.' album tour with Press Club and Dust. Don't miss it," shares the lads.
Their biggest sonic departure yet, 'R.I.F.F.' includes highlights 'Paranoid' (most recently winning the 2023 ueensland Music Award in the Heavy category), and 'King B' speak to DZ's consistent finesse in 'R.I.F.F.''s genesis; 'King B' is a radically experimental epic that balances their carnage-inducing instincts with blazing synths, acoustic guitars and sparse piano. While 'Paranoid''s displays the group's indispensable anthemability.
'Tuff Luck' scratches the periphery of the record's unchartered territory, with crashing drums, gruff, growling synths bound by oscillating percussion that usher Mordor into a contemporary doomsday hymn.
"Brilliant videos and songs and a great sense of humour and style," says Mark Ronson. While Violent Soho's Luke Henery offers: "They write great riffs." Adds MAY-A: "They speak to my soul. It just feels good listening to their music."
Tickets are available.
