Baby boomers of Australia rejoice! Barnsie and his merry band of musicians otherwise known as Cold Chisel have announced their first studio album in 14 years.
The new album, to be named No Plans, will be launched at Bluesfest where the legendary Australian group are headlining on Thursday 5th April – ahead of its official release in stores on Friday April 6.
The album features 13 songs drawn from recording sessions across 2010 and 2011 as well as the final recorded performances by drummer Steve Prestwich who passed away in January 2011.
“In late 2009 the five of us made plans to record together again and do a tour,” said frontman Jimmy Barnes. “After lots of twists and turns that’s exactly what we’ve ended up doing but due to Steve’s passing those plans changed a lot along the way.”
“The last two years have reminded all of us that sometimes life deals up things you don’t expect. You can’t take anything or anyone for granted. Sometimes it’s best to have no plans.”
In addition, the band has also announced that it will play two very special ‘one night only’ No Plans Album Launch shows to take place at Melbourne’s Festival Hall on Thursday April 12 and Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion on Wednesday April 18.
