To celebrate their upcoming album release, Clubfeet are elated to announce their 'Heirs & Graces' Australian album tour. The eight-date jaunt will encompass all major cities throughout February, shortly after the release of their new LP, 'Heirs & Graces', on January 18.
With the album's infectious first single, 'Heartbreak' (featuring Chela), currently in high rotation across the airwaves leading into their anticipated January album release, 2013 is shaping up to be Clubfeet's breakthrough year.
Hailing from Melbourne (via Cape Town), the band originally made a name throughout the US and Europe with the release of their debut album 'Gold on Gold' in 2010, which received rave reviews through the likes of Pitchfork ('instantly charming' - 7.7), NME and Spin. Throughout 2011, word spread back to Australia with the help of the debut album's singles 'Edge of Extremes' and 'Last Words' which became community radio hits. In 2012, the band returned to the studio (in Cape Town, Melbourne and New York) to record their sophomore album, with a few small breaks to tour alongside the likes of Alpine, Miike Snow and Yuksek, plus their debut Australian tour. Meanwhile, Too Pure Singles Club (Beggars Group) released Clubfeet's limited edition City of Light / This Time 7" in the UK.
Acclaimed for their immersive live show which saw them land in Paste's '10 Great Bands from CMJ' list on their first US trip, Clubfeet are very excited to return for their second headline tour of Australia, playing a selection of cult hits from 'Gold on Gold' and new favourites from 'Heirs & Graces'.
"Playing selections from their excellent 2010 LP Gold on Gold, the Australian synth-pop band immediately got everyone dancing and jumping around. Their simple-yet-effective melodies were a perfect fit for the night and surely won them more than a few new fans." - The AU Review
"The disco-noir feel, with vocals very much like Alexis Taylor of Hot Chip, make this a great and appealing surprise support act. Look out for them as they could provide next Summer's soundtrack." - Tone Deaf
"The boys showed versatility during their performance, changing up the lead vocals and instruments amongst each other to keep their sound interesting and showcase the depth of talent they have at their disposal. After their set, multiple members of the crowd proudly announced they had 'googled the shit out of' this band they hadn't heard before, confirming the lads had certainly won over some new fans." - Faster Louder
"It's no accident that their debut live show was so well-attended, or that Gold on Gold propelled them so prominently into the international spotlight; their brand of pop is refreshingly honest and accessible, and the boys obviously have plenty of hit-making potential." - Alphabet Pony
Supported by Collarbones, Chela and EGO (AV Set).
