In addition to Melbourne and Sydney indoor headline shows, Garbage will play a series of a day on the green outdoor concerts with The Temper Trap, The Preatures, Tash Sultana and Adalita.
Rounding out their tour Garbage will also perform a show at Wollongong’s WIN Entertainment Centre on Thursday 1 December, joined by special guests The Temper Trap and Tash Sultana.
To create Strange Little Birds, their first album in four years, Garbage drew on a variety of influences including the albums they loved growing up. Upon its June release, the album debuted at #9 on the ARIA Album Chart and picked up acclaim from the likes of Pitchfork, The A.V. Club, NME and Spin amongst countless respected critics:
’20-plus years after forming, each band member is still fired up to mine new sounds and approaches for inspiration. That willingness to be uncomfortable and look beneath the surface makes Strange Little Birds a rousing success.’ – The A.V. Club
‘The electronic rockers return with a sixth studio album as cool and caustic as their 1995 debut’ – NME
‘Garbage haven’t released an album this immediate, melodically strong and thematically interesting since their self-titled 1995 debut.’ – Mojo
????? – Renowned For Sound
All eleven tracks on Strange Little Birds were recorded and produced by the band (Shirley Manson, Steve Marker, Duke Erikson and Butch Vig) and released via their own STUNVOLUME Records/Liberator Music. In support of the album’s release, Garbage performed a powerful two-song performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! – watch ‘Empty’ hereand ‘Push It’ here.
From their lauded self-titled debut (1995) through toStrange Little Birds, Garbage’s innovation, unique sound and provocative visual aesthetic have inspired massive worldwide attention and success. Tracks like ‘I Think I’m Paranoid’, ‘Only Happy When It Rains’, ‘When I Grow Up’,‘Stupid Girl’ and ‘Cherry Lips’ are instant classics and highlight the band’s talent to span genres and styles while still staying true to their celebrated sound.
World renowned for their incredible live rock shows, Garbage have sold 12 million albums worldwide, performed in over 35 countries and continue to perform sold out shows across the globe more than two decades since their formation.
These shows will be Australian fans’ first opportunity to hear songs from Strange Little Birds live alongside favourites from Garbage’s hit-filled career. With anticipation for this tour at fever pitch, tickets will not last long – don’t miss out!
