After selling out shows around the country at the end of last year, Jack Ladder & The Dreamlanders are doing you a favour and returning this May for a few shows only.
Released in November through Self Portrait/Inertia, the band’s latest album ‘Playmates’, became one of the most acclaimed Australian releases of the year. Four star reviews and raves flowed from the likes of The Australian, Tone Deaf and Rolling Stone. Buzzfeed named it is as one of “The Very Best Australian Albums Of 2014” alongside the likes of Chet Faker, Flight Facilities and Sia. Lead by first two singles “Come On Back This Way” and “Her Hands”, ‘Playmates’ was given Feature Album status by Double J, FBi, 3RRR and 2SER.
The band will be playing it’s first run of US shows in March hitting New York and LA straight after a very busy few days at South By Southwest in Austin. The album was released on 24th February in North America and Japan on the legendary Fat Possum label, home to The Black Keys and Spiritualized as well as archival legends such as Al Green and Townes Van Zandt.
The acclaim in the US has already started with the influential NPR Music naming the band as one of the “10 Musicians You’ll Be Telling Your Friends About In 2015” and premiering next single “To Keep And To Be Kept”, which features Sharon Van Etten sharing vocals.
The songs pulse with life. Synthesizers and drum machines rub shoulders with glam guitars and pedal steel, while above all, Ladder's granite baritone slashes at love and darkness like a heavy blade. There is so much to love about these guys and with this series of shows, there is no excuse for you not to get amongst it. We guarantee they will knock your socks off.
