As you may have heard, Aussie hip-hop veterans Butterfingers are back. After a decade-long hiatus, the band have dropped their first album in 14 years today with Bad News.
In addition, the band have also shared rescheduled national tour dates, with coronavirus forcing them to postpone the originally-planned shows. The extensive tour was slated to kick off this month, but will now run from October up until the year’s end, with the band saying that the silver lining of the postponement is that fans will have a chance to get familiar with new tunes before seeing them IRL.
“What a time to be releasing an album called Bad News!” commented the band’s Evil Eddie. “It’s crazy to think it’s been 14 years since our last album, cause it doesn’t feel like it all. We are super pumped to finally be getting it out there, but the actual process – even though it’s been so long – feels like it’s our regular routine, and it will be from now. The new album is out today and we’ve got waaaaaay more to come straight after, we’ve got a lot to say right now.”
Previously purchased tickets are valid for new shows on the tour.
