Brisbane’s DZ Deathrays have announced some Australian tour dates on the back of their forthcoming debut album, a 13-track assault, which has been titled Bloodstreams, that represents the last four years of hard work and will be released in Australia on the 6th of April (Good Friday).
It’s been a crazy last 12 months for the duo. After signing to Melbourne based record label I OH YOU early last year and releasing their 2nd EP Brutal Tapes as well as their debut EP in Europe, Shane Parsons and Simon Ridley have quickly impressed music lovers and critics across the world.
DZ Deathrays quickly fell into the good graces of highly respected publications NME Magazine and Q Magazine who both placed DZ Deathrays in their “top 10 bands of The Great Escape”, while NME took their praise even further and placed them as the 4th most exciting new act of 2012.
Upon returning to Australia in early November 2011, Shane and Simon finally ventured into the studio to record their highly anticipated debut LP with Richard Pike (of PVT) and Neil Coombe at the White Room Studios in Mt Nebo.
Not wanting to take a rest from touring DZ Deathrays then quickly jumped back in the van and completed Australian tours with Crystal Castles, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Foo Fighters and Laneway Festival over the 2011/2012 summer, picking up positive reviews wherever they played/partied. Quite a year!
