One of Australia’s most loved touring bands, The Waifs return in 2015 with their seventh LP, Beautiful You. To celebrate they will be touring nationally, starting in their home state of Western Australia and now east coast dates have been announced. With more than two decades of solid international touring under their belts, The Waifs have built a reputation of faultless live shows, earning them a dedicated and loyal fan base here at home and across the globe.
The emotionally raw but musically buoyant Beautiful You demonstrates the easy chemistry that has bound The Waifs, as well as celebrating the depth of songwriting talent they have at their disposal.
6000 Miles is the first single off the LP, a stunning Australian anthem that finds Vikki Thorn contemplating the distance between her old home in Albany WA and her new one in Utah, USA. In January 2015, aided by their regular rhythm section of drummer Dave Ross Macdonald and bassist Ben Franz, The Waifs entered 301 Studios in Byron Bay, NSW with producer Nick DiDia (Bruce Springsteen, Rage Against the Machine, Powderfinger) and emerged several weeks later with Beautiful You. The emotionally raw but musically buoyant Beautiful You demonstrates the easy chemistry that has bound The Waifs together for more than two decades, as well as celebrating the depth of songwriting talent they have at their disposal. Beautiful You is released on August 14.
