FURTHER JULIAN CASABLANCAS+THE VOIDZ
TOUR DATES CONFIRMED
TO PLAY HAMMERSTEIN BALLROOM NOVEMBER 25
TYRANNY OUT SEPTEMBER 23 ON CULT RECORDS
In addition to their previously announced “American tour to melt peoples’ faces off,” Julian Casablancas+The Voidz will play further U.S. dates this fall, including a stop at New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom November 25. The band’s anticipated debut Tyranny is out September 23 on Cult Records. Please see below for full tour routing.
Tyranny is available for digital pre-order priced at $3.87 now on www.cultrecords.com along with a third and final video teaser installment comprised of music and live tour footage.
Written and recorded over the past year, the album features Casablancas and Voidz band members Jeramy Gritter and Amir Yaghmai (Salt & Pepper) – guitar, Jeff Kite – keyboards, Jake Bercovici – bass, Alex Carapetis – drums and was produced by Shawn Everett.
The album incorporates world underground music from the 70s and 80s, hardcore/punk and modern harmony, using modern and analog recording and sampling techniques. Of the album’s title Casablancas says, “Tyranny has come in many forms throughout history. Now, the good of business is put above anything else, as corporations have become the new ruling body. Most decisions seem to be made like ones of a medieval king: whatever makes profit while ignoring and repressing the truth about whatever suffering it may cause (like pop music, for that matter).”
