WOLF & CUB SCORE TV SUPPORT

Given that the young genre hopping four-piece out of Adelaide, Wolf & Cub, take their name from the Japanese Lone Wolf & Cub comic series, it seems somehow appropriate that they’d end up on the TV at some stage.

Such as it is, they will support TV on the Radio during their first Australian tour kicking off in Melbourne next month.

Made up of Joel Carey, Joel Byrne, Tom Mayhew and Adam Edwards, Wolf & Cub have captured a global imagination with their own idiosyncratic style. Around since the early naughties, the first year of Wolf & Cub’s existence was spent outside our field of vision and inside their own world sharpening their individual ideas and honing them into one collective explosion of musical expression resulting in the band cultivating sounds that set them apart from whatever was happening on the streets.

A formidable live act, the band delivers weighty primal rock seamlessly balanced with intricate guitar lines heavy on experimentation and crazy freak-out extended solos. With dual drummers, the ebb and flow of scattered patterns crashing into relentless waves of bass creates a dance-inducing storm of melodic psych-rock making your skinny jean-clad pins twitch feverishly.

Currently Wold & Cub are putting the finishing touches to their debut album, due for release locally in August. The band will be playing new tracks off the album at these TV satellite shows.

Dates:
Sunday July 23 – The Forum, Melbourne
Tuesday July 25th - Gaelic Theatre, Sydney

BELLES TOLL FOR DEATH CAB
