New Pornographers Back in Town
Much-loved power popsters New Pornographers return to Australia this month. It’ll be the first time since 2010, and ironically just a year after I finally caught part-time band member, Dan Bejar (Destroyer), who (in)famously did not come to Oz for the longest time.
I always go back to 2006’s Twin Cinema as the tent pole of an album that is all-banger-no-filler from start to finish, despite what Stereogum might think, and looking at the setlists of their most recent North American tour, we can at least expect a few tunes from this most fantabulous of albums.
The Australian tour starts next week in Melbourne and here is the full list:
Thu 20 Feb, Fri 21 Feb - Melbourne Recital Centre, Melbourne
Sun 23 Feb - Rechabites Hall, Perth
Tue 25 Feb - The Triffid, Brisbane
Wed 26 Feb - Metro Theatre, Sydney
Fri 28 Feb - Canberra Theatre, Canberra
Sun 1 Mar - Palais, Adelaide
Tue 3 Mar - NZ Festival, Wellington
And here is a Spotify playlist I created based on their most recent setlists.
