RVG ANNOUNCE MELBOURNE ALBUM LAUNCH SATURDAY NOVEMBER 27 AT THE CORNER
Today RVG announce their long awaited Feral Album Launch. Now well over a year since it's release, and with plenty of time for the band and fans alike to ruminate on it's themes in isolation RVG are bringing the album to life for one night only at The Corner Hotel on Saturday November 27.
Playing one of the first full capacity shows of the year at The Corner, RVG will be joined by special guests Leah Senior, Enola and Kill Bell.
Released in April 2020 Feral was both a cry for help and call to action, resonating deeply with audiences, the album was nominated for five Music Victoria Awards, received Album of the Week on Double J, RRR, PBS, 2SER, 4ZZZ, SYN FM, Edge Radio, Radio Adelaide, The Music, Tone Deaf, was album of the day on Bandcamp and landed on a glut of end of year lists. Recorded at Head Gap studios with producer Victor Van Vugt (PJ Harvey, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Beth Orton), Feral was RVG’s first full-length release in three years, coming just as the world went into hibernation.
To Romy Vager, RVG’s lead singer and lyricist, to feel feral is to feel outside of everything. Throughout the album that feeling of isolation is incited, but it never feels hopeless: these songs channel the raw energy of despair and frustration into melodies that often feel victorious, perhaps only because they so aptly supply a soundtrack to the end of days.
This year has seen a collaboration with Julia Jacklin, covering Björk's 'Army of Me', a slot at Boogie Festival, and what would have been an Australian tour. This Melbourne show will be both a celebration and a closing of the chapter that was Feral. Tickets are on sale now.
RVG live is Romy Vager, Reuben Bloxham, Marc Nolte and Isabele Wallace.
