Jack Ladder and The Dreamlanders 'Hijack! The Tour' w/ Melodrones & The Idiot - Canberra - CANCELLED
During the great silence of the 2021 lockdown Jack Ladder & The Dreamlanders quietly released their finest work to date. A record as heartbreaking as it is life-affirming, Hijack!, built entirely of flesh and steel and string details our anti-hero’s descent and inevitable ascension.
This autumn comes the opportunity to witness all the pathos, humour and emotion of Hijack! live as Ladder lures you in with THAT voice accompanied by the longstanding "greatest show-band" Australia has to offer.
With the variants in retreat, Mr Ladder and his Dreambanders see the east coast is clear enough to embark on a cautionary tour. Performing two once in a lifetime shows at the city recital halls of Sydney & Melbourne, the band will play alongside a section of strings to recreate the “otherworldly atmosphere’s” orchestrated on the album, whilst breathing new life and textures to revered classics.
Taking in some further regional dates Jack & The Dreamstalk will perform in Castlemaine, Canberra, Brisbane & Eltham bringing the “manically beautiful” songs of Hijack! to life in a dynamic and compelling new way.
