The album’s been an awfully long time coming for fans. Chris Bailey and drummer Peter Wilkinson have been flexing their musical muscles in France of late, but they’ve now returned to the fold.
“The Saints have always been my main passion,” Chris Bailey admitted in a press release. “Despite my promiscuity and desire for musical experiment I feel that The Saints are an unfinished musical journey. This album is one step closer on this road.”
The Saints will play the following shows around the country to celebrate King of the Sun’s release.
23 November 2012 – The Corner Hotel, Melbourne
30 November 2012 – Fly by Night, Perth
