Australia's favourite music collective The Gin Club have just returned from LA's Musexpo Conference and are back on the road with a whole bunch of dates promoting their critically acclaimed new double platter Junk. They'll be joining Dallas Crane, Liam Finn and Band of Horses, amongst others for some support slots as well as playing a bunch of shows of their own.
The Gin Club perform an eclectic mix of rock, pop, folk, blues, country, psych, prog, slowcore, and everything in between. On stage the band can feature anywhere from two to nine members playing various combinations of acoustic and electric guitars, organ, piano, cello, banjo, mandolin, saxophone and drums, all shuffling positions and swapping instruments from song to song, making for a unique and sometimes chaotic experience.
Since their formation in 2003 The Gin Club have toured Australia, performing at Big Day Out, East Coast Blues & Roots, Cockatoo Island and Yagubi Festivals; as well as Canada and New Zealand; played with acts as diverse as Paul Kelly, The Drones, Tim Rogers, Iron & Wine, Lambchop, Midlake and Laura Veirs, and released three albums to critical acclaim, the most recent being double album Junk.
Featuring the work of seven highly individual singer/songwriters, as well as a collaboration with Australian music legend Tim Rogers - Junk is one of the most ambitious and diverse releases by an Australian band in man years. From mariachi horns to sweeping string arrangements to grinding guitars to hushed piano and cello ballads, Junk is truly a magnificent achievement which should propel the band on to the world stage.
