Mistletone Touring proudly announces Blonde Redhead’s first Australian tour in over 13 years

The legendary dream-pop band of Kazu Makino and twin brothers Simone and Amedeo Pace returns with their first album in almost a decade, the sumptuously received Sit Down for Dinner. 

This moment finds Blonde Redhead returning to Australia, 30 years since their incandescent debut - with brilliant new music, as perfect an addition as any fan could wish for, to their back catalogue of heady, romantic songs. Blonde Redhead’s lush contemporary sound – Kazu and Amedeo’s dreamlike vocals floating over a driving, cinematic soundtrack –  has crystallised their stature as “one of the most revered and inventive independent rock bands of the last decade” (Los Angeles Times). A band who has never stopped pushing forward, Blonde Redhead are celebrated as a classic band of our time, their earlier masterpiece 23 recently named by Pitchfork as one of the Best Shoegaze Albums of All Time.

“On their first album in nearly a decade, and following a wave of viral resurgence, the NYC avant-rock vets return with their warmest, most welcoming music yet” - PITCHFORK

“Life changes fast,” Joan Didion once wrote. “Life changes in the instant. You sit down to dinner and life as you know it ends.”

When Blonde Redhead’s Kazu Makino encountered this passage from Didion’s memoir of grief, The Year of Magical Thinking, in the early pandemic months, Makino was thinking of her own parents far away in Japan; the then-lost ritual of congregating for dinner with family; and the heavy, omnipresent feeling that life could change in the instant for any of us. She narrated these feelings on a pair of songs which helped title Blonde Redhead’s 10th full-length: “It’s sort of about death, but the music is so alive and groovy,” Makino says. 

The title Sit Down for Dinner has a separate resonance for the Italian members of Blonde Redhead, the Milan-born twin brothers Amedeo Pace (singer / multi-instrumentalist) and Simone Pace (drummer). “Culturally, dinner is important to us,” Simone says of the non-negotiable family ritual. “It’s a moment for us to sit down and have time with each other. We grew up that way. I know a lot of people eat and run, eat in front of their TV, or don’t care about it too much — and that’s OK — but we really do.”
