Brisbane rising indie stars The Jungle Giants are striking while the iron is hot, today announcing they’ll be hitting the road again to bring their sweet live show to the masses, following previous dates surrounding their awesome set at this year’s Splendour In The Grass festival.
The quartet are touring to support their debut long play, Learn To Exist, which is scheduled for release at the end of the month. That’s perfect timing for the band behind She’s A Riot to hit the road at the start of October, kicking off the festivities in Hobart and stopping off just about everywhere else in the nation you can think of.
Support on the tour will be provided by Melbourne’s 6-piece alt dance phenomenon Northeast Party House, with Perth synthy duo Greyjoy and fellow Brisbane indie outfit The Creases also getting in on the action. Learn To Exist hits a record store near you on Friday, 30th August.
UPDATE 18/10: Following their sold-out dates in Sydney and Brisbane, The Jungle Giants have added a smattering of new shows to the expedition, today announcing another gig for Brissie, as well as Sydney, Melbourne and Geelong. They’ll be joined by Twinsy, a Muscles DJ set in Sydney and Melbourne, and a host of other special guests. Tickets for the new shows are on sale now.
