Beginning in March, the comprehensive tour will take the WA folk trio all over the country for its seven-week duration, before reaching its final destination – Broome’s Roebuck Bay Hotel, the scene of their first gig in 1992.
This is sure to be not only a welcome exercise in nostalgia for the band and their fans, but also a celebration of where they are now, with their latest album, Ironbark, due out on Friday March 3.
Besides the album’s 14 songs, The Waifs have recorded an additional 11 bonus tracks – not coincidentally bringing the total to 25 – which they will be giving away as free downloads from their website each week leading up to the release date.
The Waifs 25th Anniversary Tour will run from Thursday March 2 to Saturday April 15, with tickets onsale now from thewaifs.com. Ironbark will be released on Friday March 3 through Jarrah Records and is available to preorder now.
