Jack Ladder & The Dreamlanders Announce Whirlwind Aussie Tour

Sydney-bred outfit Jack Ladder & The Dreamlanders enjoyed an incontrovertibly strong end to 2014, selling out shows in Sydney and Melbourne hot on the heels of releasing acclaimed studio full-length Playmates, and now fans further afield will have a limited chance to see what all the fuss is about in a live setting when the band set off for a four-date national tour this May.

Taking in performances at Melbourne's Howler (8 May), Perth's Amplifier (9 May), Brisbane's Brightside (15 May), and Sydney's Oxford Art Factory (16 May), the charismatic Ladder and co. will recreate Playmates in the flesh for what is sure to amount to an unmissable run of home-turf appearances.

Backed ably by the esteemed pedigree of The Dreamlanders — the wonderfully eclectic Kirin J Callinan, colourful crooner Donny Benet, and Laurence Pike, of Aussie electro-post-rock luminaries PVT — Ladder is an undeniably magnetic force, his baritone strains the reliable bedrock on which his aurally lush, meticulously articulate compositions rest.

Tickets for all four performances are available now via Moshtix (and, for Perth, Oztix); for more information, check theGuide or see The Music App.
