The Jezabels
After opening for Depeche Mode and the Pixies, the Sydney foursome are back on home turf and ready to headline.
Overview
Anyone who's caught The Jezabels live can nod to a hoarse throat and an emotional upheaval at the close. One of Australia's best live outfits, the Sydney foursome sure pack a punch on stage, leaving festival crowds at St Jerome's Laneway Festival, Groovin the Moo and Big Day Out thoroughly uplifted and homeproud. After extensive UK touring and support slots for Depeche Mode and the Pixies, The Jezabels are back on home turf ready to blow minds at the Sydney Opera House for their 2014 headliner tour.
Following the release of their colossally successful debut release Prisoner, The Jezabels spent two years on a furious touring escapade; leaving fans generally euphoric at over 200 shows worldwide. Gradually refining their epic live presence, the Sydney locals are a long way from their Manning Bar days — rounding out 2013 by opening for Depeche Mode and the Pixies through Ireland and the UK. The crew based themselves in London, hooked up with UK Producer Dan Grech-Marguerat (Radiohead, The Kooks, Lana Del Rey) and crafted their second album, The Brink, which debuted at #2 on the ARIA chart. No biggie.
For their first headline dates for 2014, The Jezabels will fill every eave of the Sydney Opera House with Hayley Mary's supercharged vocals. And because she's got mad skills, keyboard player Heather Shannon will open the show playing the coveted Opera House grand organ, the largest tracker-action pipe organ in the world. That's how the 'bels roll.
Tickets available from the Sydney Opera House Box Office or you can live stream the concert from home on Tuesday at 8:10PM [AEST].
