THE CHURCH adds more dates to "The Singles / 1980 - 2025" Tour

ADDS MORE DATES TO SINGLES TOUR   THE CHURCH Photo credit: Adam Nicholas  FEBRUARY 10, 2026 [New York, NY] – Celebrating 45 years as a band, Australian psychedelic dream pop legends THE CHURCH have added more dates to their North America "The Singles / 1980 - 2025 Tour" that will be coming to North America this Summer. Initially postponed in 2025, the tour was rescheduled and kicks off June 5 in Seattle before concluding in Denver on July 11. The added dates are:   Date City Venue Jun. 30 Norwalk, CT District Music Hall Jul. 1 Woodstock, NY Bearsville Theater Jul. 2 Cleveland, OH Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Jul. 3 Homer, NY Center for the Arts of Homer Jul. 4 Toronto, ON The Concert Hall * full dates below The five week tour celebrates their career-spanning oeuvre of tracks including “The Unguarded Moment” (from 1980’s Of Skins and Heart), “Tantalized” (from 1986’s Heyday), “Ripple” (from 1992’s Priest=Aura), “C’est La Vie”  (from 1992’s The Hypnogogue), “Metropolis” (from 1990’s Gold Afternoon Fix) and of course “Reptile” and “Under the Milky Way” (from 1988’s international breakthrough album Starfish). Continuing to evolve and transform, The Church remain not only relevant but prolific as well. With a major return to form and a resurgence in popularity, they have been quite creatively busy as of late. Having released their first thematic album The Hypnogogue (2023) and its companion album Eros Zeta and the Perfumed Guitars (2024), which tracks the loose dystopian narrative of aging rockstar trying to reclaim his faded glory through the use of a dream extractor, “The Hypnogogue,” the post-punk pioneers have been generating another upsurge in popularity. Coupled with the release of their gorgeously textured new single “Sacred Echoes (Part Two)” from November 2025, they have been showered with some of the best reviews of their career, these two albums helped grow the band’s audience significantly with venues appropriately increasing in size and capacity. Bassist/vocalist/founder Steve Kilbey called the single “Bleak and yet beautiful ‘Sacred Echoes (Part Two)’ is unlike any previous Church song ever with its almost orchestral climaxes and its sombre mood. The lyrics and voice are the weariness at the point where hope and hopelessness merge. The music is by turns delicate and sparse turning into a churning monstrous racket. Intense, forlorn and exultant!” "Sacred Echoes (Part Two)" Link/Embed: https://youtu.be/duDu89KsAdE?si=B6hkt5Yv-Ad1-aCn SPIN named The Hypnogogue as one of the 2023’s best albums, noting that it "might be one of the most underrated and overlooked of the year, a gorgeous neo-psychedelia triumph, taking you on The Church’s signature alt-stargazing journey, though current and uncompromising." The Arts STL noted that "there aren’t many artists 40 years and 26 albums into their career as creatively vibrant as The Church are. This isn’t just one of The Church’s best latter-day albums, it’s simply one of their best."     Date City Venue Jun. 5 Seattle, WA The Showbox Jun. 6 Vancouver, BC Vogue Theatre Jun. 7 Portland, OR McMenamins Crystal Ballroom Jun. 9 San Francisco, CA August Hall Jun. 10 Los Angeles, CA The Fonda Theatre Jun. 12 Solana Beach, CA Belly Up *LOW TICKET ALERT Jun. 13 Phoenix, AZ Musical Instrument Museum *SOLD OUT Jun. 14 Phoenix, AZ Musical Instrument Museum *SOLD OUT Jun. 16 Dallas, TX Granada Theater Jun. 17 Austin, TX Paramount Theatre Jun. 19 Atlanta, GA Center Stage Jun. 20 Pelham, TN The Caverns Jun. 21 Graham, NC Haw River Ballroom *LOW TICKET ALERT Jun. 23 New York, NY Sony Hall Jun. 24 Somerville, MA Somerville Theatre Jun. 26 Washington, DC 9:30 Club Jun. 27 Phoenixville, PA The Colonial Theatre Jun. 28 Asbury Park, NJ The Stone Pony Jun. 30 Norwalk, CT District Music Hall Jul. 1 Woodstock, NY Bearsville Theater Jul. 2 Cleveland, OH Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Jul. 3 Homer, NY Center for the Arts of Homer Jul. 4 Toronto, ON The Concert Hall Jul. 7 Chicago, IL Park West Jul. 8 St Paul, MN The Fitzgerald Theater Jul. 10 Kansas City, MO Knuckleheads Jul. 11 Denver, CO Summit Music Hall   Starting out in 1980, The Church have continued to expand their highly cinematic and atmospheric blend of indie rock, shimmering post-punk, icy dreampop and psychedelic post-rock without retreading their steps. Their expansive music career yielded a string of hit songs including “Under the Milky Way,” “Reptile,” “The Unguarded Moment” and “Almost With You” amongst others and their equally stellar live shows have been deemed “spectacular” by MAGNET Magazine, citing their “dreamy psychedelia that will daub your evening with shades of paisley.” The Church's epic five-piece line-up is bassist, vocalist and founder Steve Kilbey; with long-time collaborator Tim Powles, drummer and producer across 17 albums since '94; guitarist Ian Haug, formerly of Australian rock icons Powderfinger, who joined the band in 2013 and multi-instrumentalist Jeffrey Cain (Remy Zero) since 2020. The band have also recruited Ashley Naylor, long-time member of Paul Kelly’s touring band and one of Australia’s finest and most respected guitarists (Even, The Grapes, The Stems).

Frost Children team up with Ninajirachi for new song "Sisters"

FROST CHILDREN AND NINAJIRACHI SHARE NEW SONG CHECK OUT “SISTERS” NOW FROST CHILDREN’S SISTER WORLD TOUR CONTINUES WITH NEW AUSTRALIA, JAPAN, UK DATES ADDED

“Sisters” cover artwork “Sisters” LISTEN: http://frostchildren.ffm.to/sisters WATCH: https://youtu.be/Oyct_cZvYiY (February 11, 2026) - Frost Children and Ninajirachi team up for their new song “Sisters.” The exciting link-up between two of the brightest lights in contemporary electronic music is inspired by the title track from Frost Children’s 2025 album SISTER. The song became the thesis and backbone for the album. “Sisters” includes a new, tender verse from Ninajirachi, new lyrics from Frost Children’s Angel and Lulu Prost, and a total reworking of the instrumentation. “Sisters” arrives on the heels of Frost Children’s remix of Ninajirachi’s song “Fuck My Computer.” Following completely sold-out North American and European legs of the SISTER World Tour in 2025, Frost Children will keep rounding out the globe, with upcoming headline shows in Australia, Japan, and the United Kingdom. Additionally, Frost Children will perform at various festivals this summer, including Ultra Music Festival in Florida, Roskilde in Denmark, and Mad Cool in Spain. Full live dates listed below and purchase tickets HERE.  SISTER, the explosive third album from Frost Children, was released on September 12, 2025, by True Panther and Dirty Hit. The album is saturated in the golden age of EDM and blog house, the music Angel and Lulu Prost grew up listening to at home in St. Louis, and delicately weaves strains of emo, electro, and pure pop sonics while exploring close-to-home themes of co-dependence, consistency, and change. It’s an exhilarating return to those first sounds that moved them, echoing with the reverence and refinement of two formidable artists crafting exactly what they want to hear. But it’s also a striking portrait of Frost Children’s singular creative partnership: as bandmates, as roommates, as symbiotic savants well-versed in the art of what Angel calls “twin telepathy.” Boldly revitalizing and revolutionizing a too-often-devalued subgenre, Frost Children delivered their most forthright and full-bodied identity statement yet. As Lulu puts it: "This is so confidently what we love, and what we breathe.”  Since its release in August last year, Ninajirachi’s I Love My Computer has been emphatically praised as a generational debut album locally and abroad. Released via NLV Records, Ninajirachi’s acclaimed debut album I Love My Computer is a boundary-pushing, culturally resonant record praised as a defining shift in the 2025 music landscape. Recognized culturally as a leader reshaping the role of female and non-binary artists in her genre, the record set a benchmark for the future of Australian electronic music.  Check out “Sisters” above, see upcoming live dates below, and stay tuned for more from both Frost Children and Ninajirachi coming soon.  photo credit: Andrea Mauri Upcoming Frost Children Live Dates % = w/ jamesjamesjames $ = w/ TeddyLoid 3/01 - Meanjin / Brisbane, AUS @ Crowbar % 3/03 - Eora / Sydney, AUS @ Oxford Art Factory % [SOLD OUT] 3/04 - Eora / Sydney, AUS @ Oxford Art Factory % 3/05 - Naarm / Melbourne, AUS @ The Night Cat % 3/06 - The Night Cat - Narrm / Melbourne, AUS % [SOLD OUT] 3/07 - Meredith, AUS @ Golden Plains Festival 3/10 - Tokyo, Japan @ SPACEODD $ 3/29 - Miami, FL @ Ultra Music Festival 3/28 - Rothbury, MI @ Electric Forest Festival  4/04 - Roskilde, Denmark @ Roskilde Festival  4/09 - Madrid, Spain @ Mad Cool Festival  4/30 - Saint Charles, IA @ Hinterland Festival  8/30 - Manchester, England @ YES 9/01 - Leeds, England @ Belgrave Music Hall  9/02 - Bristol, England @ Strange Brew 9/03 - London, England @ Heaven 9/05 - Glasgow, Scotland @ King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut 9/06 - Dublin, Ireland @ Whelan’s SISTER cover artwork by Eli Sheppard SISTER Frost Children September 12, 2025 True Panther / Dirty Hit 1.

Tuareg musical pioneers and Grammy Award–winners Tinariwen share a new single today, “Imidiwan Takyadam”, featuring longtime fan and celebrated singer/songwriter Jose Gonzalez. Taken from their forthcoming tenth studio album, Hoggar, released March 13^th via the band’s own label Wedge.

 

Of the new track, founding member of the band Ibrahim Ag Alhabib says: “Friends, look at what is unfolding before us. This is a song I wrote long ago, yet today its echo feels stronger than ever. It speaks of our people, the Tamasheq, scattered across distant lands, slowly losing the threads of their culture and their ancestral heritage. It is a call to memory and to conscience - a reminder not to forget our brothers and sisters who endure suffering under the tyranny of short-sighted and foolish leaders.”

 

On the album and more than 45 years into their storied career, the band return to the foundations of their sound. Fierce advocates for their people’s nomadic culture that exists in the desert borderlands between Mali and Algeria, Tinariwen’s bluesy, guitar-driven music has found global acclaim over the past two decades for its lively blend of Tamasheq-language politicism, syncopated rhythms, and soaring melody.

 

Tinariwen previously shared “Sagherat Assan,” a traditional Sudanese song featuring soulful, melismatic vocals from Sudanese artist Sulafa Elyas. The track drew attention from NPR, Stereogum, Consequence and more. On release longtime collaborator and producer Patrick Votan noted,  “The female voice is very important in traditional Tuareg music but it is increasingly hard to find female singers today owing to restrictions placed on them being allowed to sing and train. We were lucky to find singers like Sulafa as well as Wonou Walet Sidati, who used to record and tour with Tinariwen in the past, and Nounou Kaola, who also feature on this album.”

 

This April, Tinariwen will embark on a worldwide tour. While North America has long been an integral part of their live schedule, the routing for this leg does not include U.S. or Canadian due to the current travel ban in the United States.  All current dates are listed below.

 

While previous records like 2023’s Amatssou saw the group collaborate with Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson producer Daniel Lanois, on Hoggar the band looked closer to home. Gathering with the local Tuareg musical community every day for a month, founding members Ibrahim Ag Alhabib, Abdallah Ag Alhousseyni and Touhami Ag Alhassane began penning songs of political unrest alongside younger artists like Imarhan’s Iyad Moussa Ben Abderrahmane, Hicham Bouhasse and Haiballah Akhamouk. The group also linked up with Sanou Ag Hamed, from the Tuareg band Terakaft, as well as collaborating with Tinariwen co-founder Liya ag Ablil, AKA Diarra, for the first time in 25 years. What emerged was a sense of reunion as well as an evolution of the Tinariwen sound.

 

Hoggar delivers 11 tracks of yearning emotion, intricate melodies, and the choral warmth of collective voices in powerful harmony. The album also marks several remarkable firsts: Tinariwen lead vocalists Ibrahim and Abdallah sing together for the first time in over 30 years, breaking from the tradition of each songwriter performing only their own compositions, and longtime fan José González makes a special guest appearance. Lyrically, Hoggar explores urgent and timely themes, addressing social and political challenges facing the Tuareg people and northern Mali. Tinariwen continue their long tradition of bearing witness through music, balancing the joy of their celebrated live shows with reflections on community struggles, resilience, and cultural preservation.

 

Ultimately, with Hoggar Tinariwen stand proud as cultural signifiers, much like the Tuareg mountainscape that erupts from the Central Saharan desert and that gives the record its title. A defiant marker of presence visible for miles, the Hoggar mountains are a symbol of a homeland for displaced people, while Tinariwen’s music continues to make space for future generations of their song.

TENDERNESS shares new single "Day of Atonement". Debut album 'True' out March 13th via Amorphous Sounds.

TENDERNESS - Shares new single "Day of Atonement" feat. Deep Throat Choir - Debut album 'True' out March 13th via Amorphous Sounds - London show announced

Photo credit: Rachel Lipsitz "Gorgeous simplicity... Young's voice is a beautiful instrument”  9/10 - Uncut  Tenderness - the London-based solo project from Katy Beth Young - today shares new single "Day of Atonement", a hypnotic indie-folk track featuring Deep Throat Choir. 'True' the debut album from Tenderness is a record full of open-hearted vocals and bittersweet Americana – it’s out March 13th via Amorphous Sounds. Tenderness is also set to play a headline London show at St Pancras Old Church on 18th March. On the track, Young said "‘Day of Atonement’ is a kind of collage of images and sounds and dreams and different relationships. I wanted the song to be both abstract and tangible, in the way that dreams can be. It’s a bit of an outlier for me –I usually try to write towards clarity, but this song is more impressionistic because it’s about parts of myself that I struggle to look at squarely, which are experiences around care and codependency and addiction. The recording was made from many layers with a huge bed of drones by Euan, Jim White-inspired drums from Olly, melancholy pedal steel by Harry and improvised, ethereal backing vocals by some of my friends from Deep Throat Choir."’ "Day of Atonement" on YouTube: https://youtu.be/BPTKk0Xt6Uc A walk across the salt flats. A pixelated moon on a touchscreen. A song set on the hottest day of the year. A song set on the final day on earth. A song you can’t send to someone, because they’re no longer there. True, the debut album from Tenderness — the solo project of Katy Beth Young (Peggy Sue, Deep Throat Choir) — leads you by the hand through scenes like these, on deceptively simple songs that shimmer with electric guitars and drones and licks of pedal steel. Songs that look sideways at romance and grief and technology. Songs that break hearts with their precise and thoughtful beauty as well as their sadness. Songs that are, by turns, tender like a touch, tender like a bruise. Tenderness was born out of a tough storm of circumstances: the pandemic, a cancelled tour, a break-up, and the loss of her father. Furloughed and with too much time on her hands, Young began to write new songs in her north London living room, windows wide open to the hot summer outside. “I was having a hard old time but it was also strangely beautiful,” she says. “There’s something about that space of grief that is very tender. There was a lot of sadness, but also a sweetness and openness to the world. You feel things deeply but you’re also gentle with people.” In August 2020, during that “weird window” of the pandemic where lockdown eased up enough for a trip to the seaside, or across London, Young visited producer Euan Hinshelwood (Younghusband, Cate Le Bon) at his Greenwich studio. In two days, the pair recorded eight demos with no pressure or plan. “It was like a day trip to the land of music,” she recalls. Over the next few years, around lockdowns and tours and day jobs, those demos quietly transformed into True. Across the ten songs, Young tries to untangle the supposed boundaries between fantasy and fact, romance and the real world. “We perform love in the same way that we perform love songs. And when you sing, performing makes the emotions real again,” she says. “That’s why ‘True’ became the album title. It’s all true, I think.”  Technology is a recurring lens – screens as connector and amplifier as well as barrier. Photos of the moon, video calls, streaming algorithms, and re-read text messages all mirror modern love and grief. Initially, Young considered naming the album Touchscreen for how it evokes both an intimacy and a distancing. “I love making a playlist for someone. I think it’s no less beautiful than a mixtape,” she says. “But if you’re training something to know your romantic buttons, it all gets a bit Her.” Lyrically, the video calls and databases sit alongside tidal pools, televisions and sugar levels, keeping the songs squarely in Young’s world, even as every track flickers with the influence of country music. While the influence of classic country artists like Patsy Cline and Kris Kristofferson is felt, so is that of Big Thief, Yo La Tengo, Wye Oak and Bill Callahan. “It turns out all of my favourite bands are at least a little bit country,” Young laughs. Producer Hinshelwood helped shape each song’s sonic world. The final recordings are sparse in that country way but layered with Hinshelwood’s textures: synths, drones, rich backing vocals, and Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy–style guitar solos. A key ingredient came midway through recording: pedal steel by Scottish musician Harry Bohay (Aldous Harding, Sylvie), whom Young saw performing with Erin Rae. “He was just going to play on two songs in the beginning, but it lifted the music so perfectly that we ended up having pedal steel on almost every song,” she says.       True is a solo album in name, but a communal one in spirit. Longtime collaborators appear throughout: Peggy Sue’s Clay Slade and Olly Joyce, La Luz’s Marian Li-Pino, and members of Deep Throat Choir. Backing vocals come from Berlin musicians Martha Rose, Dandy Deniz and Benjamin Gregory, and the album's finishing touches - strings and synths -- were added by producer Chloe Kraemer. Young comments “One of the most joyful things about doing a solo record has been needing and wanting and being able to invite so many different people to play on it. It feels very beautiful to me that so many of the people I’ve made music with are on the album.” The result is an album that feels both deeply personal and quietly expansive - a collection of songs born from solitude but shaped by community, rooted in heartache yet reaching toward something hopeful. True doesn’t shout to be heard; instead, it lingers and glows.
