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.

Bad Seed Hugo Race Releases “Fatalists”

Bad Seeds founding member Hugo Race is preparing to release a new solo album called Fatalists.

Hugo’s work is always interesting, from the CD Live in Wolow Jail recorded in a Polish Prison to collaborations with the Malian Tuareg group Tamikrest, French-American outfit Lilium, and Brazil’s Moses Complex. His 2010 album Between Hemispheres earned rave reviews for its mix of traditional African instruments and electronica.

Fatalists sees Hugo travel in a new direction as it’s his first recording as a solo singer-songwriter. It was released throughout Europe recently and is already being heralded as a masterpiece. We’ll see Fatalists on local record store shelves on February 4, ahead of a couple of launch shows. If you want to see Hugo Race doing his thing live, head to the Northcote Social Club in Melbourne on February 24, or The Basement in Sydney on March 9.
