The New Pornographers announce supports for Australian tour

In celebration of their fifth album, “Together”, Canadian-US super-collective The New Pornographers are primed to make their return to Australia this November. Supports have just been announced with Brisbane's Little Scout joining most of the tour (all states except WA and Tasmania). Josh Fontaine will open the stage in Perth, with Billy Whims warming up Hobart.

The New Pornographers have always dreamed of finding a middle ground between Led Zeppelin and The 5th Dimension, which as it turns out is actually quite a good way of describing their mix of deceptively complex songwriting combined with glimmering hooks and arena-like power. And as Australian punters are more than aware the bright yet often bittersweet nature of what they do, including all those wonderful vocal harmonies, is an even better experience in the live setting.

The New Pornographers are A.C. Newman, John Collins, Kurt Dahle, Blaine Thurier, Todd Fancey, Neko Case and Kathryn Calder. Don’t miss The New Pornographers when they tour Australia this November. Tickets on sale now.
