UPDATE: The Waifs Announce 2018 ‘Ironbark’ 25th Anniversary Tour Dates
ORIGINAL STORY: Aussie trio The Waifs are celebrating their 25th Anniversary in a big way, announcing a national tour for 2017, and a new double-album as well.
The band will release their eighth album Ironbark on 3rd March, a day after they embark on a huge national tour. The jaunt (aptly) features 25 shows, and will put The Waifs on the road for almost two months, celebrating the new album as well as 25 years of music.
Ironbark is 14 tracks long, but it’ll come with 11 bonus tracks to further celebrate 25 years of The Waifs. And, while you may have to wait almost two months for the new album, they will be giving away one bonus track for free every day up until the album’s release. The first free download will be given away today, and is available to stream below.
Ironbark is the follow-up to 2015’s Beautiful You, and was recorded in the unfinished kitchen of Josh Cunnigham’s retreat in rural New South Wales.
