Last year The Waifs were part of the huge Union Of Soul WA tour with
the John Butler Trio, this year they return to headline their own
series of concerts over the summer. In WA they will be joined by
America’s Independent sweetheart, Ani Di Franco and new WA act Mama Kin
and for the rest of the country, old friend and fellow independent road
warrior, Jez Mead.
The Waifs have been one of West Australia's most loved and appreciated
bands over their 20 year history. Building their fan base the hard way,
playing every corner of the country, earning respect of peers and fans
alike for their tenacity and drive to do things their own way.
From the back streets of sleepy towns in WA, to an internationally
loved, multiple ARIA Award winning multiple platinum selling act,
(their latest release Sun Dirt Water now about to go platinum), The
Waifs have paved the way for Australian independent artists to be able
to forge successful careers outside of the major label rules.
Since they last took to the stage on home soil, The Waifs have been
busy touring through Europe and America to support the release of Sun
Dirt Water.
This summer, the band will be touring for their fans…. literally! They
will be placing the decision of the show set lists into the hands of
the fans. Rarities, classics, the hits, and a few brand new ones! It
will be up to the fans to decide. Fans can go to www.thewaifs.com and
email their wish list of tracks they want to hear and the band will
play a shortlist of the songs with the highest amount of nominations.
Jez Mead will bring his raw, hypnotic folk blues to the stage, a well
travelled journeyman on a quest to invite listeners to explore his
sonic sensibilities and diverse guitar styles.
Sun Dirt Water is in store now through Jarrah Records and MGM Distribution.
