Experimental rock band Black Country, New Road have announced dates for their UK tour and a new live film of completely new material.
The ensemble Mercury Prize nominees take material from their three sold-out Bush Hall shows on December 22, which can now be viewed as part of their Live At Bush Hall piece.
Speaking of the live show, guitarist Luke Mark said: “They are very obviously clumped together visually from multiple performances.
“That can take you out of the performance and make it seem artificial and like it’s not actually live. So we came up with the idea to make the three nights look visually distinct from one another. To scratch the idea of trying to disguise anything.
“We wanted it to be very honest and let people know that we had three goes at it. This isn’t just us playing the whole thing non-stop.”
Along with the new performance, the band announced their latest tour dates, which can be found below.
