Post-Hardcore Americans Daughters Postpone Aus Tour

Reformed post-hardcore experimenters Daughters have postponed their Australian tour – due to start this week in Brisbane – after their frontman recovers from a dislocated shoulder.

Promoters Collateral Manage have today issued a statement, saying that new dates will be announced within two weeks.

“This has come about (you may recall) as Lex [Alexis Marshall] (vocalist of Daughters) in the reunion shows a few months ago, dislocated his shoulder – again! It's imperative that Lex takes time off now over the Australian Summer, to have surgery, and recover. The timing of the Australian tour, and the surgery dates didn't work out in anyone's favour. We have been waiting on surgery dates for weeks now, and this has only just come to light.”

They add, “At the moment, we ask you wait on the re-announcement, (within 2 weeks max) – to see if newer dates suit. All tickets will then remaining Valid for the new shows. If you will end up requiring a refund after the Tour is announced, we will be able to arrange.”

The band, who are from the noise and grind-induced school of punk rock, reformed last year after splitting in 2009. They announced their Australian dates shortly after their reunion shows in America.

“Tickets are selling great, all the venues have been most helpful,” said the promoter. “Thank you, and we'll keep you updated on new Daughters dates for Autumn 2014.

“All in all, it's a bummer, we know – and for those travelling all we can do is apologise. You will still be seeing Daughters soon play live in 2014, in Australia.”

The postponed shows were as follows:

Thursday 9 January – Crowbar, Brisbane
Friday 10 January – Bald Faced Stag, Sydney
Saturday 11 January – Cambridge Hotel, Newcastle
Tuesday 14 January – Amplifier Bar, Perth
Thursday 16 January – Enigma Bar, Adelaide
Friday 17 January – Evelyn Hotel, Melbourne
