London Grammar – Australian Shows – March 2015
** TOUR UPDATED **
erth International Arts Festival are excited to announce London Grammar will be returning to Western Australia to play Redhill Auditorium on March 5 as part of the 2015 program. Returning to the West for the first time since their stunning performance at South Bound Festival, the announcement will be welcome news for WA fans.
Joining London Grammar for all shows will be New York minimal pop three piece Wet. The talk of SXSW this year, Wet, came to prominence late 2013 with breakthrough single ‘Dreams’ – a track readily added to full rotation on triple j and boasting in excess of 300,000 plays online. Their second single ‘You’re The Best’ proved a worthy successor; showcasing the indie pop smarts and minimalist R&B that saw the band publicly lauded by the likes of NME (“beguiling”), Billboard (“the toast of the tastemakers”) and BBC Radio 1 (“understated, considered and beautiful”).

With a mix of false starts, bum notes, front-man wincing and a particularly rowdy audience member to deal with, night three of its five night return to the live arena had all the elements of a legendary Augie event.
