Massive news this morning as the venerable Belle and Sebastian announce a tour of Australia with English singer-songwriter Badly Drawn Boy, marking their first trip down under in over twenty years. Belle and Sebastian have been one of the most consistently brilliant exponents of intelligent indie pop since their creation and Badly Drawn Boy is a perfect complement to their sound.
This tour follows the band’s prolific series of releases over the past few years including ‘Late Developers’ coming hot off the heels of their 2022 album ‘A Bit Previous’.
Since their debut in 1996 with the seminal record ‘Tigermilk’, Belle and Sebastian have been an integral player in the development of an indie-pop sound synonymous with music coming out of the U.K. over the course of the following decade. Subsequent releases, including 1998’s ‘The Boy With The Arab Strap’ and 2003’s ‘Catastrophe Waitress’ introduced more audiences around the world to Belle and Sebastian’s brand of pop songwriting, solidifying their place as indie royalty.
