Tex Perkins, Don Walker and Charlie Owens have only released two albums together, split by twelve years: 1993’s brilliant Sad But True, and the equally-great 2005 collection All Is Forgiven.
Now, in keeping with their strict twelve-year schedule, they have announced You Don’t Know Lonely, set for release on June 30, and a run of twenty shows around the country throughout August and September.
Listen to the album’s first single, ‘A Man In Conflict With Nature’, a Tex Perkins-lead tune featuring a dark character who celebrates a win at the greyhound races with “three hookers and some sushi”.
Pre-sale tickets for the tour go on sale Monday, June 5 at 9am, with general tickets available from Tuesday June 6, at 9am. Dates below the video clip.
