WUNDERHORSE LOCK IN AUSTRALIA + NZ HEADLINE TOUR
UK rockers Wunderhorse have locked in a string of headline shows across Australia and New Zealand this September.
This run kicks off in Aotearoa at Double Whammy in Auckland and Meow in Wellington, before hopping across the ditch to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and wrapping up at Freo.Social in Perth.
Wunderhorse’s 2024 album Midas follows the band’s acclaimed 2022 debut, Cub, and sets them up as one of British guitar music’s most exciting outfits. Recorded at Minnesota’s Pachyderm Studio (birthplace of Nirvana’s In Utero and PJ Harvey’s Rid Of Me) with producer Craig Silvey, the album reached 6 in the UK charts and preceded their biggest headline tour to date, as well as an arena tour support slot with Sam Fender in December.
Adopting an organic, unpolished recording process, Midas captures the visceral atmosphere of Wunderhorse’s raucous live performances.
“We wanted it to sound like your face is pressed up against the amp,” frontman Jacob Slater told The Guardian. “No frills, no polish – just pure, uncut rock’n’roll.”
Indeed, the album’s rugged hooks, unfiltered noise, and fierce melodic sensitivity set Wunderhorse up for a year that will see them firmly established as an endlessly addictive and rousing generational talent.
