The Don Walker Australian Tour 2013 has been announced to coincide with the Australian musician’s third solo album, Hully Gully (out through MGM on 16th August.
Don Walker and his band The Suave Fucks will take this new instalment of dark stories, hope ,and humour on the road along the East Coast this November. They’ll be showcasing the new album and of course performing old favourites, in a warm and friendly way.
Walker has few peers in illuminating the darker underbelly of the Australian psyche, whether he’s performing with Cold Chisel, Tex, Don and Charlie or solo. Angry women, luck-chasers, wannabe’s, and anyone who just wants to throw the afternoon away on a game of pool – none are excluded and none are described with greater authenticity.
Mixed by Joe Henry in Pasadena, Hully Gully was written by Walker and recorded over several years and studio sessions with his band The Suave Fucks featuring Glen Hannah, Roy Payne, Garrett Costigan, Michael Vidale and Hamish Stuart. The first single from Hully Gully is the dream song ‘Young Girls’, which drifts and drives a pair of new lovers towards a paradise they know lies somewhere North.
The forthcoming Hully Gully tour comes after an impressive run of shows from Walker last month, which saw our Tone Deaf reviewer remarking “if Paul Kelly is Australia’s Dylan, then Don Walker is our Springsteen.”
Adding: “You get the feeling Walker enjoys a solo show far more than say, a Chisel gig. The smaller venues he and his band The Suave Fucks play are perfect for him. With sticky floors and peeling walls, it’s not unlike a setting from one of his songs.”
Do not miss Don Walker and The Suave Fucks as they head out in support of Hully Gully.
