Last week, this world was blessed with a brand new #1 Dads record, Golden Repair. If you haven’t already, devour it — it’s poignant and perfect. To celebrate the release of Golden Repair, #1 Dads — aka Tom Iansek— will be hitting the road for his first national tour in five years.
“This album has formed part of my own restoration as I have grown as a person and as an artist and continued to peer deeper into myself, not necessarily liking or being able to accept everything that I find,” Iansek shares in a statement. “It is thus an album of light and shade, of death and new life, and that path we continually walk towards the latter. It is a conscious exploration of the process of healing, and a pondering on suffering and its role in the process of life. It is the breaking and subsequent golden repair of myself and those closest to me”.
Kicking off on Friday, June 26th and Jive in Adelaide, the tour will then head to Freo. Social in Fremantle on Saturday, June 27th, The Corner in Melbourne on Friday, July 3rd, Metro Theatre in Sydney on Friday, July 10th, and finally The Zoo in Brisbane on Saturday, July 11th.
Iansek has enlisted the help of a bunch of hometown heroes to join him on the tour. Triple j unearthed winner Gretta Ray has firmly cemented herself as one of the finest songwriters in the country, she’ll be jumping on the Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane dates of the tour. Also joining the lineup are whippersnappers Moreton and Cool Sounds.
