Spring is here and Regular John are inviting you to take a trip when they bring their Strange Flowers to life this September.
This weekend marks the first run of shows on their Strange Flowers Spring Tour, with the band hitting Adelaide’s Enigma Bar on the 21st of September and Melbourne’s Toff in Town on Sept 22nd.
Strange Flowers is the second album from the Sydney based four piece. The follow up to 2009s ARIA nominated The Peaceful Atom is a Bomb has been generating one hell of a buzz since its release on September 14.
With the intoxicating sweetness of spring unfolding across Australia, the timing for a tour couldn’t be more perfect.
“This is hands down one of the standout releases of 2012. Any fans of rock music – nay, music in general – should pick this up. “-AU Review
“This is the record that most bands would expect to make two decades into their career”- Rolling Stone
“Strange Flowers is everything a rock album should be: honest, edgy and downright powerful’- Drum Media
“From listening to this record, one thing resonates with me strongly. It’s clear that Regular John are climbing up the ranks in Australian alternative rock.”- Music Feeds
First single, Slume has been weaving its magic across the airwaves, being added to JJJ, landing the #5 most added Alternative track to National Radio and hitting top 10 in the AIRIT charts.
The stunning video has already received praise from triple j’s Richard Kingsmill and others for its one-take simplicity and a raw, naked performance from singer Ryan Adamson.
The Strange Flowers Spring Tour kicks off September 21st with the band promising to treat audiences to a psychedelic journey through heartbroken melodies, fuzzed out guitars, kraut inspired jams and the cosmic wall of sound for which Regular John are fast becoming known for.
Strange Flowers is out now. Available on CD, iTunes and a special gatefold, double 180 gram, 45rpm deep purple vinyl release.
