Australian alt-rock band Karnivool kick off their first US tour in three years with six shows at SXSW. The tour stops at The Grammercy Theater on March 31st and advanced tickets are $15.00
The band's second disc, Sound Awake, will be released in the US next Tuesday (Feb. 16th) via SIN/SonyMusic Independent Network. This disc has been out in Australia since last June and it debuted at #1 on the Australian Independent Music charts. Kerrang! described the disc as "a hail of expansive melodies, that, when at their best are a little short of breathtaking. This is genuinely impressive stuff’".
Here is a live video of first single from this disc, "Set Fire to the Hive", that was recorded earlier this year at Big Day Out.
