Stan Ridgway To Tour Australia For First Time In Over 15 Years

While many people know him as the frontman of great 1980s new wave gtroup Wall Of Voodoo, the nine solo records that Stan Ridgway has dropped over the past quarter of a century are compelling pieces of work that oughtn't be overlooked.

This year saw him release Mr Trouble, another record that is earning him a considerable amount of critical praise for its compelling imagery that captures a certain side of American life with great distinction. It is on the back of this record that we get to see Stan Ridgway back in Australia for the first time in over a decade and a half as he comes down to play four shows with his old creative collaborators Pietra Wexstun, Rick King and Bruce Zelesnik.

Sydney and Melbourne get two shows apiece when Ridgway shows up next May. The dates are as follows and you can grab tickets from next Friday 7 December.

Thursday 16 May – The Basement, Sydney
Friday 17 May – Factory Theatre, Sydney
Saturday 18 May – Corner Hotel, Melbourne
Sunday 19 May – Caravan Club, Melbourne
