Bad Seed Hugo Race Tours Solo Debut

With his debut album No But It’s True in the can, Hugo Race is wasting no time bringing the songs to the people.

The debut solo album from the Bad Seeds founder will hit stores on June 10, mere days before the tour kicks off in Sydney. From there he’ll visit coastal towns, culminating in a final performance in Melbourne a few weeks later.

Fittingly Hugo Race will bring Leek & The War Wick Tragedy, the first band to join his new record label Rough Velvet Records, along for the ride. Make sure you arrive early to see a performance from this band Hugo has so much faith in.

Leek & The War Wick Tragedy Tour “Beg & Plead”

A whole lot of time in the recording studio is making Leek & The War Wick Tragedy stir crazy. And so the Melbourne band are busting out and traveling around the east coast next month.

This isn’t simply an excuse to get up on stage though. The band have a new single, “Beg & Plead” to promote, the first from that album they’ve been working so hard on.

Fans probably won’t get another opportunity to see Leek & The War Wick Tragedy live this year as they’ll be jumping back in the studio once this tour is out. So catch them while you can at the following shows.

17 November 2011 – Port Macquarie Hotel, Port Macquarie (Free 18+ Show)
18 November 2011 – The Brass Monkey, Cronulla (18+)
19 November 2011 – The Patch, Wollongong (Free 18+ Show)
