The Johnny Marr Australian Tour 2013 has added extra dates following the first Melbourne show for the guitarist selling out.
Following overwhelming demand, Frontier Touring has confirmed that a second performance from Johnny Marr will take place at Northcote Social Club on Sunday 5th January.
The headline shows surround Johnny Marr’s appearance on the Falls Festival lineup, playing all three legs in Lorne, Marion Bay, and the newly added Byron Bay, as well as the Southbound Festival in WA.
A British music cornerstone, Johnny Marr is best known as the former co-songwriter guitarist of The Smiths, influencing countless bands as one of the founding members of a band who in their short five years and four studio albums were one of the defining acts of the 80s before splitting in 1987.
Since his departure from The Smiths however, Marr has never once rested on his laurels, instead carving a unique path throughout his career. He moved on to work with groups such as Electronic, The The, and The Pretenders and has also lent his keen songwriting nous and guitar skills as a part-time member of Modest Mouse and The Cribs.
Johnny Marr arrives in Australia off the back of his debut solo album The Messenger, which our Tone Deaf reviewer called “a slice of long awaited musical heaven.”
Adding that: “Marr’s greatest strength has always been his ability to conjure emotions – usually melancholy and yearning – through his subtle yet dextrous guitar playing and unsurprisingly, this is the record’s main calling card.”
