\"\"<\/a><\/b><\/b>Bass Drum of Death\u00a0are heading back to Australia for the first time in over four years this October to bring their primordial garage quicksand to\u00a0Yours & Owls\u00a0Festival\u00a0in Wollongong, along with exclusive intimate headline shows in\u00a0Melbourne,\u00a0Sydney\u00a0and\u00a0Brisbane.<\/p>\n

Since their now legendary Australian tour in 2015 on a heavyweight triple bill with\u00a0DZ Deathrays\u00a0and\u00a0Hockey Dad, which saw them packing out venues over multiple night stands, the band have solidified their lineup, overcome personal issues and made themselves at home in New York City as one of the leading lights of the city’s feedback soaked lo-fi garage scene. It’s no surprise either, that as US tour mates of Royal Blood after a chance meeting at a Hollywood strip bar, the likeminded groups collaborated on the single,\u00a0Lights Out\u00a0which led off the Blood’s 2017 album,\u00a0How Did We Get So Dark.<\/p>\n

Starting with a prodigious output of solo project lo-fi garage rock that echoed the sounds emanating from the dive bars of NYC 20 years ago, Mississippi native John Barret’s\u00a0Bass Drum of Death\u00a0are now a live performance and touring juggernaught. Since forming in 2008, and releasing their debut EP\u00a0Stain Stick Skin\u00a0on the tastemaking Fat Possum Records; the band’s touring lineup has evolved from Barrett solo playing a bass drum and guitar to the searing, raw live experience they deliver with a drums and two guitar attack these days.<\/p>\n

Latest album, last year’s\u00a0Just Business, has seen the band take massive steps in the scope and scale of their sound, with the claustrophobic fits of their earlier releases now amplified into a reverb soaked widescreen panorama, with Barret positioned as the evangelist preacher leading a schizophrenic sermon that takes musical cues from\u00a0The Hives\u00a0to\u00a0The Buzzcocks,\u00a0The White Stripes\u00a0to\u00a0The Only Ones\u00a0with the odd genuflection to\u00a0The Cramps\u00a0thrown in for good measure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
