They’ve supported the likes of Bluejuice, Yves Klein Blue and Dapples Cities and enjoyed acclaimed appearances at festivals such as Parklife and Laneway and this October and Novemeber, it’s their time to shine.
As they prepare for the release of their debut album, †Hope is for Hopers’ (due out Sept 25), Philadelphia Grand Jury are getting ready to unleash their awesomeness in a tour set to sell like hotcakes.
Having recently seen the Philly Jay’s open for Dappled Cities at the Sydney Metro Theatre show, it’s clear the indie/rock boys were going to give the more established headliner a run for their money.
They mixed new and old stuff with colorful theatrics as they performed their already successful singles †Going to the Casino’ and †I’m Going to Kill You’ before closing with ‘I Don’t Want To Party Party (But I’m Gonna Cos She’s Fantastic)’ at which point all hell broke.
Recorded and produced by the band on about as much as your canteen allowance, their soon to be released debut album †Hope is for Hopers’, is a collection of 12 tracks that are sure to only increase the Philly Jay love.
With support acts Kid Sam and Young Heretics, the tour will also coincide with The Philadelphia Grand Jury Bootleg Series, presented by Pedstrian.tv. This means each performance will be up for free mp3 download within 72 hours of the show for members of our website. Long story short- free shit for you.
The †Hope is for Hopers’ tour kicks off on October 21.
