If you listen to alternative music (not related to alternative facts) it’s been hard to avoid Japandroids new single “Near To The Wild Heart Of Life”. But since it’s a great track, why would one want to avoid it? Either way, the duo of Brian King and David Prowse from Vancouver, BC is back with a new album and is headed to First Avenue on 2/14. Tickets are still available HERE
After playing the last of their 200 shows in more than 40 countries in support of their critically acclaimed 2012 album Celebration Rock, Japandroids took a much-needed break to rest and recover after their last show in November of 2013. The band would not play again for three years. This month, they made their triumphant return to the stage, playing intimate shows in Vancouver, LA, Toronto, London and NYC, in which they treated fans to their favorites from Celebration Rock and Post-Nothing, and previewed a handful of new, unreleased songs.
