Orielles announce US tour
BELOVED HALIFAX band The Orielles are heading to the States for a seven date tour.
In March 2020 they will play gigs in New York, Austin, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boise, Portland and Seattle.
“We’re really excited for this tour. We’ve been looking forward to going to America a while, so it’ll be good to finally get the chance to play there.
“I’m particularly looking forward to playing Seattle and New York,” said guitarist Henry Wade.
Despite playing countless festivals, including Neighbourhood, Dot to Dot and Lost Village, the band haven’t forgotten their Calderdale roots.
“In terms of venues in Halifax, we love playing the Grayston Unity and the Lantern, they’re so lovely there. Having the opportunity to play in
Halifax venues and practice rooms has made us the band we are today. It gave us the experience to get really tight as a band and go on to bigger and better things. It’s gone from something we all did for fun to a big part of our lives.”
The group announced the release of their second album ‘Disco Volador’ last month. The ten track album will be available from February 28 and is available for pre-order on the Heavenly Recordings website now.
“We’re going to have some of the guests that featured on the album join us on stage during the tour. It’s going to be really fun all playing together and going around with our mates, performing to new audiences,” said Henry.
The band have also announced ten UK gigs including Manchester, London, Brighton, Glasgow, Newcastle and Stoke-on-Trent.
