Rising duo Jagwar Ma are pleased to announce details of their first national headline tour this April.
The band have capitalised on the buzz of their debut single (2011’s ‘Come and Save Me’) by delivering a killer follow-up, ‘The Throw’.
That track, with its psychadelic-techno leanings, has made some serious waves both here and around the globe: Pitchfork rated it with their prestigious Best New Music and said “the song’s the purest piece of Madchester revivalism to come around in some time”.
NME said ‘The Throw’ was Jagwar Ma’s “grand statement to the world”. It’s been added to the BBC Radio 1 playlist and, locally, was the #1 Most Played track on triple j. They also recently graced the cover of SMH’s Next Big Things feature.
The band (who perform live as a three-piece) have already established themselves as one of the most exciting new live propositions, with stand-out shows on the recent Big Day Out run and a sweaty, sold-out club show at Sydney’s GoodGod in January.
The band were handpicked by The xx to support them on their national tour in early April and are currently on tour with Foals in Europe.
Jagwar Ma are now based in the UK so don’t miss what will surely be one of the most talked about tours of the year.
