SLEIGH BELLS ANNOUNCE AUSTRALIAN SHOWS WITH DZ DEATHRAYS + BAIO (SYD SHOW ONLY) + I OH YOU DJs

The Frontier Touring Company and I OH YOU are thrilled to confirm that
Sleigh Bells will be returning to Australian shores in 2013 for
performances that are set to be equal parts dance party and epic live
show.

While the Brooklyn duo are visiting on Australian shores for Big Day
Out, they will also be playing two very special I OH YOU parties.

Those lucky enough to attend will be treated to a tour that not only
showcases the experimental and frenzied tracks that have garnered Sleigh
Bells a huge following and worldwide acclaim but delivers a visceral
performance that can only be experienced by seeing them live.

Fringe music fans all over the world were brought to their knees with
the 2010 release of their debut album Treats that juxtaposed songwriter
and producer Derek Miller’s bombastic synth-laden beats with Singer
Alexis Krauss’s sultry vocals.

Quickly becoming the band that everybody was talking about, expectations
were decidedly high for the follow up. And boy did they deliver. This
year’s release of their sophomore album Reign Of Terror (out now through
Liberator Music) continued the evolution of their cutting edge sound and
catapulted Sleigh Bells from buzz artists to the saviours of indie rock.

‘Sleigh Bells have delivered a remarkably polished and varied second
record while further establishing their musical identity and Reign of
Terror simply confirms everyone’s first impressions – this band are
something special.’ FasterLouder

Last year, Sleigh Bells visited Australia for two explosive headline
performances in Melbourne and Sydney filled with the duo’s signature
energy that has earned them fans the world over.

‘The intense, beat-bruising Sleigh Bells live show is not to be missed.’
Pitchfork

‘A Sleigh Bells show is anything but your standard concert
experience…From the moment Miller and singer Alexis Krauss step
onstage, they go into high gear and don’t let up until the crowd is
fried and frazzled.’ Spinner.com

Sleigh Bells’ unmissable live performance will be joined by the
ferocious DZ Deathrays whose relentless success and acclaim has made
them the biggest emerging act of 2012.

Their debut album Bloodstreams (out now through I Oh You) is described
by NME as ‘a furiously energetic rumble of sweaty, scratched-throat
dedication and a semi-DIY dissection of punk rock’s egoless fun side’.

Joining Sleigh Bells and DZ Deathrays in Sydney will be Vampire
Weekend’s BAIO, getting behind the decks and ready to set the night
ablaze with one of his infamous DJ sets.

Live performances by dynamic duo Sleigh Bells are not to be missed. Be
quick to grab your tickets to what are set to be some of the most
energetic and fun-filled shows of the new year.
