Off the back of their lauded debut album ‘Pink Fur’, released in late-February, Post War Glamour Girls have announced a series of UK tour dates this March and April.
Reminiscent of The Birthday Party with vocals evocative of Nick Cave crossed with Frank Black (if they both hailed from Leeds), Post War Glamour Girls have spent the past two years building up an impressive body of work, showcasing their innate knack for creating intricately layered and intelligent compositions with an almost theatrical Arcade Fire-like build up.
And while the mainstream has noticed, with the band already receiving heavy support from Clash, DIY, The 405, The Line Of Best Fit, and being invited to perform on the NME/BBC Radio 1 stages at the Reading and Leeds festivals, it’s the incredible amount of underground fan-driven support that has marked Post War Glamour Girls out as a major band to watch in 2014.
Last year also saw the band perform a series of shows at the likes of Live at Leeds and Long Division, tour supports with both PINS and I Like Trains, as well as performing to over 800 people at Leeds University Stylus.
The four-piece finally released their expansive and epic ten-track debut album, ‘Pink Fur’, this February. Recorded in break-neck speed with Lee Smith and Jamie Lockhart (The Cribs, Forward Russia) at Greenmount Studios, the new album has been winning widespread praise since its release.
Never short of theatrics, Post War Glamour Girls recently performed ‘Pink Fur’ in full at two packed-out launch events around Valentines Day at the Brudenell Social Club in Leeds and London’s Hoxton Square Bar & Grill, featuring a choir consisting of members of Heart-Ships, The Witch Hunt, and Sam Airey. Expect more surprises and an unmissable live performance on their upcoming UK tour.
