With their one-off Melbourne show having sold out in just days, shoegaze trailblazers The Jesus & Mary Chain have announced the addition of a second Melbourne show to their Australian tour.
One of the most influential bands ever to come out of the UK, The Jesus & Mary Chain will celebrate the 30th anniversary of their groundbreaking debut, Psychocandy, by playing the album in full at Melbourne’s 170 Russell.
The release of Psychocandy immediately thrust The Jesus & Mary Chain into the forefront of the UK’s ’80s post-punk scene, with its mix of acrid, noisy meshes of guitar and ethereal, wall-of-sound atmospherics.
Having seldom performed live over the past decade, this is a rare chance for Australian fans to experience one of the most influential bands in rock music performing one of the most highly regarded albums of the ’80s.
