Shellac Announce East Coast Australian Tour

Chicago post-hardcore veterans Shellac have already been announced on the bill of the 2015 Meredith Music Festival, but now they’re complimenting their appearance with a run of headlining dates down Australia’s East Coast.

The ‘minimal rock’ trio, who’ve been ripping shit up since 1992, will perform four additional dates in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, with the live music capital getting a generous second helping of the action.

Bob Weston, Todd Trainer and Steve Albini’s third tour of Australia together does not coincide with any album or single release, but that’s just the way these dudes like it.

“The band members all work for a living and the band is their pastime, so they don’t tour often or for long,” a statement from the band reads. “..They tour when they have the time and inclination.”

“The band will continue to release albums and play concerts at the same sporadic pace indefinitely.”

Shellac’s latest LP, Dude Incredible, was released in September of 2014. Check out the full venue and ticketing details for their 2015 Australian tour, below.
