Having last come off East Coast tours with Karnivool , Many Machines on Nine and Dead Letter Circus and releasing the acclaimed Eye Of The Storm single(MGM), late last year, Bushido have recently been busy wrapping up preproduction for their debut album, due for release later this year. This is the bands first set of shows since the MM9 run and they are busting at the seams to get some of the new songs into the wider live arena. If recent responses to new tracks are any indication, add to this the intensity of the band’s excitement to showcase some more and this tour promises big things for punters!
“Anyone who has witnessed their killer live show will understand that a Bushido set is rife with contradictory energies. It is what makes one of our nation’s greatest live acts an intriguing, hard to pin down, powerhouse collective that continually defy the confines of the genre” Helen Barradell. Beat.
Sleep Parade’s debut album Things Can Always Change (Shock) released just last month, has impressed fans and critics alike with its sonic beauty as well as its complex arrangements, whilst not losing the essence of great songs.
