It has been twenty seven years since Radio Birdman front man Rob Younger first formed The New Christs, twenty two years since the release of their classic debut ‘Distemper’ and a long two years since the band last toured Europe in support of the most recent album ‘Gloria’. With a re-issue of their album ‘Lower Yourself’ on Bang Records, a 7” of brand new songs on Pitshark Records and an independent live album all set for release, the Australian five piece are set to head back to the continent for shows across Spain, France and Germany during June and July.
The New Christs featuring Younger(vocals) alongside Jim Dickson(bass), Stu Wilson(drums), Dave Kettley(guitar) and Brent Williams(guitar) have spent the last couple of years in Australia playing regular shows throughoutthe country as well as writing plenty of new material for an eventual album release. For this tour, Celibate Rifles drummer Paul Larsen will be behind the drum kit with Stu unable to make the tour due to family commitments.
The band will kick off their tour on June 16th in Madrid before making their way through France, Germany and then returning to Spain to finish the tour. With recent festival appearances in Australia under their belt, the band are in fine form and looking forward to delivering fans a cross section of tracks ffrom the albums you all know as well as a preview of some new songs.
