CAMP COPE // Announce Massive Aussie Album Tour

Punk rockers deluxe Camp Cope have announced they’ll be going on national headline tour in March 2018, supporting to-be-released second album How To Socialise & Make Friends.

Joining them on the tour will be USA’s Chastity Belt in some of their most loved venues in Hobart, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra, Bulli and Sydney.

How To Socialise will be released on 2nd of March via Poison City Records. First single The Opener is already the darling of the hipster press, including praise from Pitchfork, SPIN, and Stereogum.

It’s also hinted these will be some of the only headline shows the band will play in 2018.

The album, according to a statement, “Anchors on the cycles of life, loss and growth through resilience and those moments of finding and being yourself. It celebrates the joys of being an
independent unit and knowing who you are without any influence from external factors, and non-romantic love felt towards friends; the women who shape you and women working together to find strength in numbers. A raw account of sexual assault and the feelings of isolation that follow is painted, while the album closer shows Georgia solo, singing of her late father’s battle with cancer and their close friendship that prevails, even in death.”

Tickets for the tour go on sale 9am local time on Thursday 14 December. More information here.
