Tired Lion Announce First Single From Forthcoming Debut Album & Brand New Tour Dates

After last month announcing that they have teamed up with Violent Soho frontman Luke Boerdam to work on their debut album, Tired Lion have today given a taste of what their fans can expect by dropping the first single from the forthcoming LP.

Cinderella Dracula serves as the perfect opener for followers of the Perth outfit, with frontwoman Sophie Hopes saying of the track, "This was written at a time when I felt quite lost.

"I guess you could call it young naivety. I was young and single, ready to experience the world with a kind of 'youthful embrace'.  I had a one-night stand and what was meant to make me feel content just left me angry and frustrated at myself… well that was my experience anyway.

"I wrote the lyrics down whilst waiting for this guy to leave. It was awful timing but I guess it was my way of saying 'Fuck you, can you get out of my house'. I felt like I'd garnered this split personality – one side being desperate for affection and vulnerable (Cinderella), the other being dark and well… kinda mean (Dracula).

"The song plays with that contradiction, it starts soft and fragile but then explodes into the heavy stuff - the idea was to hear that struggle the whole way through."

Listen to Cinderella Dracula below.

Tired Lion will embark on a short tour in support of the single this May, taking in shows in Perth, Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney. 

The band will also be joined on the road by Melbourne indie-rockers, Tiny Little Houses.
