After recently releasing their debut, self-titled album, Newcastle dance-punk ravers RAAVE TAPES are ready to tour Australia.
The duo of Joab Eastley and Lindsay O'Connell will headline shows in Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne, Fremantle and Brisbane next month."Releasing an album has been a monumental moment for us and we can't wait to celebrate it with all of our friends," RAAVE TAPES says. "This record was made for the dance floor and holding your loved ones tight. Let's party rock."
RAAVE TAPES teamed with producer Fletcher Matthews (Dear Seattle, Stumps, The Buoys) to record their debut album that features the singles 'K Hi', 'I Just Wanna be Alone' and 'Goodbye'.
"The most integral themes of the album revolve around the interpersonal relationships we have with the people around us, to the nearest and dearest, as well as those who've become distant and not so dear," Joab says.
"It's a pretty broad and universal overarching theme for sure, but it's one that heavily impacted our writing process.
"At its core, we were a few good friends locked in a room with no phone reception for long periods of time, and that encouraged plenty of D&Ms, late-night soul-searching and a level of introspection that pushed us in a more earnest and personal direction."
Tickets are on sale.
