ALLAH-LAS Announce 3rd Melbourne Show, Second Sydney Show On Sale Now!

[endif]

Strange Yonder & Contrary today announce a third and final Melbourne show by ALLAH-LAS (Los Angeles) having sold out two nights at The Curtin Hotel in Melbourne and their first Oxford Art Factory show in Sydney - with a second Sydney show now on sale. The newly added Melbourne date is an afternoon show at The Curtin on Saturday 20th May. The band will also perform shows in Brisbane, Byron Bay, and the Gold Coast.

Allah-Las have released the new track, “Hereafter,” and an alternate take of the single “Autumn Dawn”, out February 17th on Mexican Summer.

The band was formed in 2008 while three of the members were working at the legendary Amoeba Music record store. Their 2011 self-titled debut was nominated for independent album of the year by the A2IM Libbys.

In 2014, their sophomore LP Worship The Sun received critical acclaim from The Los Angeles Times who said the album “…lets the band’s trippy vintage rock absorb all sorts of new Southern California influences. Latin drumming, L.A.’s midcentury avant-garde beach culture and Laurel Canyon harmonies.” Third album, 2016’s Calico Review was recorded in Los Angeles’ historic Valentine Recording Studio. For the album, Allah-Las experiment with new instrumentation adding violin, harpsichord and Mellotron to their sound. The twelve tracks on Calico Review demonstrate how the group has pivoted from focusing on specific influences to crafting songs that reflect their own feelings of freedom, grit and melancholy.

On the road the band, has built a dedicated following with extensive, sold-out tours and high profile festival dates throughout North, Central, and South America, Europe, South Africa, Russia, Mexico and Israel, with a recently announced appearance at Coachella 2017. “Cramming as much guts and passion as possible into three and a half minutes or less—while burning it’s own path, with brooding, lonesome songs, tightly restrained surf inflected musings on girls and freedom.” - The New Yorker “Los Angeles garage-rock gurus Allah-Las tap into an alternate reality where the world is but a California dream.” - SPIN Strange Yonder and Contrary Presents ALLAH-LAS AUSTRALIAN TOUR 2017 Tickets on sale strangeyonder.com & contrary.com.au Friday 12th May 2017 The Zoo, Brisbane QLD Tickets http://zoo.oztix.com.au/?Event=71130 Saturday 13th May 2017 The Northern, Byron Bay NSW Tickets http://thenorthern.oztix.com.au/?Event=71086 Sunday 14th May 2017 Miami Marketta, Gold Coast QLD Tickets http://miamimarketta.oztix.com.au/?Event=71083 SOLD OUT Wednesday 17th May 2017 Oxford Art Factory, Sydney NSW NEW DATE Thursday 18 May 2017 Oxford Art Factory, Sydney NSW Tickets http://www.moshtix.com.au/v2/event/allah-las-2nd-show/94515 SOLD OUT Friday 19th May 2017 The Curtin, Melbourne VIC NEW DATE Saturday 20th May 2017 The Curtin, Melbourne VIC (Afternoon Show) Tickets https://johncurtinhotel.wazala.com/ Tickets on-sale 10AM AEDT, Wed 29th March 2017 SOLD OUT Saturday 20th May 2017 The Curtin, Melbourne VIC
