The Demon Parade Announce New Single, 2013 Tour Dates

Barely resting after a long Summer tour around Australia, The Demon Parade have unleashed a brand spanking new standalone single, ‘Open Up Your Mind’ on RiSH Records, available this Friday 31st May 2013. The band will embark on a series of east coast shows in support of the release, which includes joining US garage rockers The BellRays in main support at their upcoming Sydney and Melbourne shows.

Opening with a cacophony of helicopter blades and eastern influenced chords, the track quickly distils the psychedelic mind bending vortex of ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’-era Beatles and attaches it to an explosive guitar riff that conjures up a Black Rebel Motorcycle Club-hosted desert exorcism. Drenched in frontman Michael Badger’s ethereal, reverb coated vocals, the song soundtracks an invisible trip cutting through the space/time continuum.

The Demon Parade, over the course of two EPs and several single releases have racked up the accolades; from significant airplay including on Triple J, Rage and community radio across Australia and receiving the blessing of many a tastemaker across the music industry.

The band have also been personally selected for tours alongside the likes of the Brian Jonestown Massacre and Swervedriver, not to mention playing alongside Aussie favourites Something For Kate, British India, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Regular John, Dune Rats, Spiderbait and Stonefield.
