The Wildes Unfortunate Rose tour

Following on from their performances at this year’s Tamworth Country Music Festival, The Wildes are hitting the road again. This time they are supporting their new Unfortunate Rose EP throughout cities and regional centres in the ACT, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia.

Lachlan Bryan’s intelligent lyrics, extraordinary vocal croon and sharp wit have quickly established The Wildes as the must-see new country act, defying all expectations of the genre. From the murder ballad ‘Lily of the Fields’ to the deceptively uplifting title track, this new EP is the work of a truly unique Australian band – one that favours songs of life and death over dogs and Utes.

Chris Altmann will join The Wildes for a selection of dates on the tour, playing songs off his stellar debut solo album Que Paso.  Spanish for “What Happened”, Que Paso is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the change from the hard rocking style that fans have come to expect from Altmann’s better known group, The Vandas. The sound is influenced by the Texas border town grooves of Doug Sahm and Jerry Jeff Walker, combined with the up tempo country rock beats of Chuck Berry and Levon Helm.
 
The Wildes will also be appearing at The Apollo Bay Festival in Victoria and The Gum Ball Festival in NSW during April.
