The beloved NYC avant-rock trio of Kazu Makino and Italian twin brothers Simone and Amedeo Pace – return for their first Australian tour in 13 years and celebrate the release of their first studio album in nearly a decade, Sit Down for Dinner. So naturally, we’re taking the seats out for this show!  

Partially written during the profound uncertainty of the pandemic and after inspiration from a passage in Joan Didion’s memoir The Year Of Magical Thinking, Sit Down for Dinner is meticulously-crafted, immersed with lyrical resolve, and sonically breezy. A band that has traced an arc from noisy indie-rock to cosmopolitan art pop, this album is a testament to the unique internal logic Blonde Redhead have refined over their three-decade existence. They are continuously growing, never confined to any era but the present.

The spirit of connection is immediate in Blonde Redhead’s innate harmonic sensibilities. “We have a language we have kept,” Makino says. “We try to change rhythms, concepts, and sounds. But that harmonic sensibility has stayed the same. It hits the same part of your heart.”
