A Thumpers Australian Tour 2014 has been announced.
Chugg Entertainment, in association with Hub Artist Services, are presenting the British indie duo’s debut appearance in Australia this coming winter.
The celebrated two-piece will be playing Sydney’s Newtown Social Club on Thursday 10th July and the Northcote Social Club in Melbourne on Friday 11th July, off the back of their debut album, Galore, out now in Australia (via Hub/Inertia).
Comprised of long time friends Marcus Pepperell and John Hamson Jr. – Thumpers’ colourful, exuberant alt-pop celebrates their innate musical kinship and draws upon their shared childhood memories. The London-based band combine bright and layered vocals with muscular drums, astral synths and shimmering guitars in a celebration of the breathless sensations of youth and coming of age.
Live, they are augmented by an interchanging cast of friends and musicians in faithfully bringing their immersive dynamics and grand scale sonic vision to the stage. Already, Thumpers have been invited to hit the road with a range of acclaimed contemporaries including New York duo, Ms Mr, throughout the summer season and Chvrches, for their UK & European dates in late 2013.
Thumpers’ Pepperell (vocals, guitar, keys) and Hamson Jr. (drums, vocals, bass) decamp to their Warwickshire hometown to record and also produce the majority of their music themselves. However for the recording of their debut album, Galore, they enlisted David Kosten (Bat for Lashes, Everything Everything) for additional production and mixing.
Don’t miss this exciting new act on their first ever visit Down Under for the Thumpers Australian Tour 2014.
