Caligula's Horse Sign US Deal With The Agency Group

Stalwart Brisbane-bred alt-prog rock outfit Caligula's Horse are well placed to hit the ground running in 2015, with the announcement coming today that they have become the latest signing to New York City-based bookers The Agency Group.

Falling under the purview of agent Josh Kline, who is also personally responsible for the likes of Bring Me The Horizon, Trivium and Protest The Hero (from among The Agency Group's roster of more than 2000 artists), Caligula's Horse are riding high on the hype wave generated by their recently released, widely acclaimed debut full-length, The Tide, The Thief & River's End.

"Hey fans — I'm truly excited to be working with the guys and can't wait to help bring their brilliant riffage Stateside!" Kline said of the signing in a statement.

The lads are backing up the good Agency news with the revelation that they have also signed a management deal with Melbourne-based company Wild Thing Presents, who already look after their bookings on Australian shores.

Speaking of which, Caligula's Horse are celebrating their good fortunes with a run of shows around the country in the second half of January, in support of their fresh new clip for album opener A Gift To Afterthought. The video is yet to hit the web, but you can have a listen to the audio-only cut below before jumping into the tour details below.

Caligula's Horse kick off their January 2015 national tour at home in Brisbane, at The Zoo, on Friday, January 16, with support from Interim, Orsome Welles and Rise Overrun. After they've treated the home crowd, they hit The Factory Floor, in Sydney, on Friday, January 23, with Breaking Orbit, Orsome Welles and Red Bee; The Basement, in Canberra, on January 24, with Breaking Orbit, Orsome Welles and Renegade Peacock; Melbourne's The Evelyn Hotel on Sunday, January 25, with AlithiA, Orsome Welles and Kettlespider; Perth's Rosemount Hotel on Friday, January 30, with AlithiA, This Other Eden and Catharsy; and they wrap it all up with a final show at the Enigma Bar, in Adelaide, on Saturday, January 31, with AlithiA, Dyssidia and For Millennia.
