Little Red head out on 'Midnight Remember' tour

Melbourne’s Little Red have announced a massive headline tour in support of their forthcoming new album Midnight Remember.

The sophomore album’s undeniable lead single Rock It has already taken the nation’s airwaves by storm and anticipation for this next chapter in the Little Red story is sky high. Underpinned by a sly disco bass hook and spry piano, Rock It mimics the experience of the summer nights that you don’t want to let go of, even when night turns to day. It has become the band’s most successful single to date and is already being mentioned in media circles as one of the singles of the year.

Produced by Scott Horscroft (Panics, The Presets), Midnight Remember’s collection of tunes still drip with energy and heart-on-the-floor honesty in true Little Red style, but there is also an undeniable technical jump into a hyperspace that takes the band well into the modern age. You are as likely to hear echoes of Phoenix to The Pogues, early U2 to MGMT, with lashings of Bob Dylan and his erudite prose seeping through. Midnight Remember is unquestionably a quantum leap in songwriting and production. That is not to denigrate the band’s scorching 2008 debut album Listen to Little Red – a landmark debut record that crashed the ARIA Top 30, spawned radio singles Coca Cola, Witchdoctor and Misty I,  made countless critics’ Album of the Year listings and catapulted the band from the backblocks of Melbourne to a must-have fixture on any major music festival in Australia and sold out headline tours around the country.

Accompanying Little Red on this 'Midnight Remember' tour will be special guests Sparkadia. Sparkadia are poised to release the first single of the new album, “Talking Like I’m Falling Down Stairs” and return to Australian stages, as guests of Little Red, for the first time since their sold out Auf weidersehen tour in April 2009. “Talking Like I’m Falling Down Stairs” is, in typical Sparkadia form, a melody and hook ridden excursion into ‘odd pop’, and one that teases and harkens to a coming record brimming with excitement.

Hot on the heels of Little Red’s monstrous Splendour in the Grass performance and national single launches that sold out in advance, tickets for this run of dates are sure to fly out the door.
