The Dawn Of THE DOUBLE - Australian Shows Announced

While making some investigations into rock and roll, THE DOUBLE was found! You've heard of the fox trot, you've heard of the twist, theres a new dance in town … The DOUBLE. DANCE THE DOUBLE! Move over Waltz, move over disco, theres a new beat in town; Today’s Beat Tomorrow...

Jim White (Dirty Three / Xylouris White / Venom P. Stinger) and guitarist Emmett Kelly (The Cairo Gang / Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy / Ty Segall) are THE DOUBLE. They’ve distilled THE DOUBLE’s essence into DAWN of the DOUBLE released on indie-record giant In The Red . “You can meditate to this record,” says Larry Hardy of In the Red. “The first few seconds, it's like, ‘OK, this sounds like the Gories. Then it's, 'No, this is like the Velvet Underground. Oh ... it's Glenn Branca. It's just goes and goes.” "It’s Terry Riley meets Bo Diddley, and it works so hard you won’t even know it. Incredible, heads down focus and dexterity, with each chord hit with the twang of all of the blues, just fuckin’ layin’ it in there like it should." Still Single

"Could the Double spawn a new dance craze…? The answer is in... and its FUCK YES!" L.A. Times “Dawn of the Double” was built by Emmett Kelly and Jim White, expert musicians able to craft work that’s rich with both nuance and range. Neither trait is apparent on first listen to “Dawn of the Double.” L.A. Times "Talking to one of The Double before a Brooklyn gig in the summer of 2014, I was told they were going to play a “dance piece.” I wasn’t sure how to take that, but it slowly began to make sense as I watched their stunning set. The music struck an odd balance between perpetual motion and perpetual stasis: the drummer, Jim White maintained a modified Bo Diddley beat, switching between the snare and the toms after long stretches on each, while the guitarist, Emmett Kelly, stuck steadfastly to an E chord. They took the underpinning of countless rock ’n’ roll songs - the rhythm section—and decisively moved it to the foreground. It soon became clear that this wasn’t going to be the average concert of discrete songs or pieces - so the question then became how long they would sustain the groove for.” Alan Licht

"What's happening is happening on its own. We are only a conduit for it and it's super surreal." Emmett Kelly
