Bachelorette in Aus!
By Sophie in News | 0 comments
Bachelorette has been announced as the national support for Animal Collective on their upcoming Australian tour. Hooray for Annabel!
Bachelorette will also join forces with Pikelet for two double headline shows in Sydney and Melbourne. These psych-pop darlings bring together an enticing array of charming tunes, loop pedals and PC monitors for two wonderfully eccentric performances .
In early 2008, Annabel Alpers a.k.a. Bachelorette, travelled to the United States on her first and ultimately groundbreaking tour of the country. She made such an impression on Chicago’s Drag City Records execs that they later contacted her to release her now heralded full-length record, My Electric Family – out through Mistletone Records locally. Bachelorette also caught the attention of indie noise popgiants Animal Collective, who invited her to open for them on their upcoming Australia and New Zealand tour.
Pikelet’s sound has been described as “a concoction of swirling and shifting melody, layered harmonies and charming story-telling, decidedly un-hardcore and intoxicatingly catchy”. Pikelet originally sprang to life as a solo project, releasing a self-titled debut record in 2007 to rave reviews. Now performing mostly as an impressive four piece band, she will play support to Sweden’s El Perro Del Mar and Australia’s own Sarah Blasko, before previewing tracks from her brand new album (due 2010) at the Bachelorette shows.
