Disasteradio vs Europe Summer 2009
Disasteradio from Wellington has just completed a three week tour of the US playing killer shows all over the country, but he is on the eve of the main reason for this summer tour, the attack on Europe!
Playing shows in twelve different countries including eight summer festivals with some of the most awesome names in music including La Terra Trema in France with Deerhoof, Synch in Greece with Tortoise and Squarepusher, Off Festival in Poland with The National and Spiritualized, Standon Festival in the UK with Ladytron, Wilsonic Festival in Slovakia with Junior Boys and Hot Chip. As well as all that, Disasteradio is headlining Weirdofest in Brussels, Belgium – an event headlined last year by Dan Deacon.
With shows already booked in the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Poland, Greece, Slovenia, Slovakia, The Netherlands, Belgium, The Czech Republic and Luxembourg and many more shows to be confirmed, Disasteradio’s 2009 World tour is turning out to be one of the most comprehensive completed by an underground NZ act.
Along on the tour with Disasteradio is friend and awesome local video maker Simon Ward who is filming a day by day video diary of the tour. You can keep up with the diaries at: http://alowhum.com/blinks-blog/
