Press Club released their debut album ‘Late Teens‘ last Friday, took to the stage at the Pool House Party on Saturday, and now tonight kick off their tour supporting The Smith Street Band which keeps them busy for the next two months.
First up is tonight at Bar On The Hill in Newcastle and Wollongong Uni on Thursday night, both of those shows are already sold out. Friday night is in Canberra, Saturday in Sydney and Sunday a sold out affair on the Central Coast. Full dates and venues below.
Give the album a blast below if you are yet to do so.
‘Late Teens‘ was recorded over six weeks when Ian MacRae’s Brunswick East house was converted into a temporary song-writing sweatshop where the band wrote forty songs that were distilled into the dozen that make up the track list on ‘Late Teens‘. Relying upon the experiences of their friends and people they know as subject matter, the album thematically approaches displacement, relationships, internal turmoil, gentrification and inequality.
The album was recorded truly live over one week at The Aviary Studios, Abbotsford with guitarist, Greg Rietwyk, at the helm. The band used minimal over dubs to create an unadulterated, and as honest record as possible.
