Shoegaze trailblazers and post-punk icons The Jesus & Mary Chain are one of the most influential bands ever to come out of the UK and they’re nearing the 30th anniversary of their groundbreaking debut, Psychocandy.
To celebrate, the band have announced a rare and not-to-be-missed live performance for Melbourne’s Forum Theatre next March. Fans will get to hear the Reid Brothers play the highly revered album in its full, undistracted form.
The release of Psychocandy immediately thrust The Jesus & Mary Chain into the forefront of the UK’s ’80s post-punk scene, with its mix of acrid, noisy meshes of guitar and ethereal, wall-of-sound atmospherics.
Having seldom performed live over the past decade, this is a chance for Australian fans to experience one of the most influential bands in rock music performing one of the most highly regarded albums of the ’80s.
