deafheaven
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.

FILTER founder, singer, guitarist, and producer Richard Patrick knows this dance well. It’s what established the group as a multiplatinum industrial alternative luminary, and it catalyzed their seventh full-length album, Crazy Eyes [Wind-up Records / Caroline Australia] to be released on 8th April, 2016.
