Husky Returns With New Single and Tour

After spending a year in Berlin, Melbourne band Husky is back on our shores and back with a brand new single “Late Night Store.”

“Late Night Store” is the first track lifted from Husky’s third album, which will drop later this year. It’s got such a striking blend of guitars and keys, with a steady groove that keeps the listener engaged right to the end. I also love the poetry of the lyrics.

In a couple of days Husky will hit the road for their first national tour since 2014. If you’ve been hanging out for a Husky gig, make sure you don’t miss one of these shows.

17 November 2016 – Artbar Art Gallery of WA, Perth
19 November 2016 – Lighthouse Folk Festival, Norah Head
3 December 2016 – The Foundry, Fortitude Valley
7 December 2016 – Newtown Social Club, Newtown
8 December 2016 – Fat Controller, Adelaide
15 December 2016 – Howler, Brunswick

Panama Does Things Differently

The summer festival season gets pretty crowded, but if you’re looking for something different next year you need to pencil March 8 and 9 into your calendar. That’s when Panama takes over the forests of north-eastern Tasmania.

Panama looks to provide a point of difference with Australian and international bands and sideshows of bebop, jazz, soulful dance music, and cabaret acts. The bill’s only just starting to take shape, but Tassie will welcome The Daptones’ Charles Bradley, local heroes Husky, and vintage rockers The Frowning Clouds. That eclectic early bill gives you a bit of an idea of the diversity this festival will celebrate.

It’s also not your usual overcrowded festival with people who want to be seen and warm beer. It’s an event which cares about music, so you’re going to have great sound and an intimate gathering rather than a massive throng of punters. Limited tickets for Panama will go on sale on December 1 from the festival’s website.

Husky Come Home for Tidal Wave Shows

Husky are riding high on the international acclaim for their album Forever So. They’re enjoying their status as the first Aussies signed up to Seattle’s prestigious Sub Pop label. That opportunity’s seen them book shows in America, the United Kingdom, and across Europe.

But they’re just about ready to return home.

Of course those international dates are really just a warm-up for the local shows celebrating the release of the single “Tidal Wave.” They’ll play some headlining dates and join Mumford and Sons, Sarah Blasko, Matt Corby, and other big names at the sold-out Gentlemen of the Road show in Dungog.

Welcome Husky home at the following shows.

11 October 2012 – The Corner Hotel, Melbourne
12 October 2012 – The Republic Bar, Hobart
14 October 2012 – Uni Bar, Adelaide
18 October 2012 – Old Museum, Brisbane
20 October 2012 – Gentlemen of the Road
21 October 2012 – Oxford Art Factory, Sydney
