Guilty Simpson And Katalyst Announce Aussie Tour

It'll be a meeting of MC minds as Detroit-based performer Guilty Simpson teams up with Sydney-bred DJ and producer Katalyst for a string of Australian shows next month.

The pair first collaborated together on the Quakers LP, with Geoff Barrow for Stones Throw Records, and since then Simpson and Katalyst have been ferreting away at consequent co-operative works, all of which they're keeping pretty tightly under wraps at the moment.

However, Aussie and Kiwi audiences will likely be among the first to hear some exclusive previews of the duo's forthcoming 2015 full-length, as well as favoured classics, with the tour kicking off at Canberra's Transit Bar on Friday, August 1, before jumping the ditch for a show in Auckland at the Pononsby Social Club on August 3 and jetting back to Oz to round out the journey with shows at Mojo's in Fremantle on August 7, Melbourne's Laundry Bar on the 8th, and Sydney's The Basement on Saturday, August 9.
