White Denim Announce UK Tour
- Written by Marky Edison
White Denim recently released their eighth record, Side Effects, via City Slang. Capturing the essence of the band's full-throttle live shows, the album is as varied and as vivacious as anything they've ever done - as illustrated by the album's three singles, 'Shanalala', 'Reversed Mirror' and 'NY Money' the former of which went straight to the 6Music A-List.
Following the album release the band played a sold out show at the Roundhouse in February. Now, the band have been announced as the headliners for London's Visions Festival in August this year. As well as Visions, the band have announced that they'll head out on a full UK tour with full dates below.
They have also shared a new live video for 'Hallelujah Strike Gold' shot at this year's SXSW, speaking of the track frontman James Petralli says: “‘Hallelujah Strike Gold’ is, on one level, about greed and gluttony as an adult, but it is also in a way delivered from a child’s perspective. Distinguishing between wants and needs is a lifetime endeavour.”
