Deafheaven Announce Australian Headline Shows – June 2016
Dynamic, assertive, powerful and poised, San Francisco’s DEAFHEAVEN have announced a run of anticipated Australian club shows for June, complementing a coveted slot on Sydney’s 2016 VividLIVE program.
Deafheaven occupy a curious and oft-divisive space between being an ambitious outfit and playing proudly complex, niche music. They are evidence that these qualities need not be mutually exclusive. In five years they have become easily one of the most successful acts to spring from the genres they embrace. Their sound is intoxicating, deft musicianship firmly engendering the quintet as one musicians will endlessly deconstruct, and one laypeople merely marvel at. The atmospheric diversity of their sound has only become more intense across their three acclaimed albums.

Hailmary have announced a new EP titled Evolve Disolve will be released on April 9 and they will be touring around the country in support.
