A Mac DeMarco Australian Tour 2013 has been announced and with the guitarist and his band headed to Australia for Meredith Music Festival this December, they have now announced a series of sideshows across Australia.
A slack-rocker with complete charm, Mac DeMarco is making his Australian debut this December off the back of his excellent album 2 getting a local release through Spunk Records.
Offering wildly unhinged live performances, a not-so-subtle disparate range of press shots, and a barrage of bizarrely funny promo videos. The glam facade is purely that, an image that was manufactured for fun to confuse the stiff and compartmentalising world of indie music journalists. Mac DeMarco produces a ‘60s garage rock feel, layered with a seductive baritone voice, which evokes ‘80s new romanticism as much a it does a ‘50s rockabilly croon.
The ex-Makeout Videotape frontman’s first release Rock n Roll Night Club contained a contradiction of music styles. The sincere and warm Mac who sang “Only You” was the same lipstick-wearing sleazoid that crooned “Baby’s Wearing Blue Jeans” and that suited him and his listeners just fine.
Since then, he has dropped his first, proper full-length to critical acclaim, 2 is a concerted effort of cohesive work which showcases Mac’s natural ability as a songwriter, singer, and producer.
After blowing minds across America and Europe, Mac DeMarco is finally headed to Australia and will be playing co-headline show with Chapter Music darlings Twerps in Melbourne, at the Corner Hotel, and Sydney, at The Standard. DeMarco and co (ha!) then roll through Brisbane and Perth after lighting up the stage at Meredith’s Supernatural Amphitheatre.
Don’t miss the colourful and mischievous allure of this unique guitarist and songwriter, with his full band in tow.
