RVG ANNOUNCE LONDON HEADLINE SHOW AT VINTAGE PAPER DRESS HACKNEY SUNDAY 10 JULY
Leaving the country for the first time in two years, Melbourne's RVG are excited to announce a London headline show at Paper Dress Vintage on Sunday 10th of July. Their first headline show in London since 2018 the band will play an intimate and electrifying set to the Hackney crowd, marking the first international live offering since the release of Feral.
Making their triumphant return to the international stage following their show at the Sydney Opera House in May and a run of sold out Melbourne shows, RVG will finally get to share their raucous and riveting live show to audiences outside of Australia. Heading to the UK to work on new music this is the first and last opportunity for international audiences to catch RVG live for 2022. Tickets are on sale now here.
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 past year has seen a collaboration with Julia Jacklin, covering Björk's 'Army of Me', a live on KEXP session, a sold out album launch at The Corner Hotel, one of the first shows without capacity restrictions in Melbourne, and a show at The Sydney Opera House as part of Vivid Live.
RVG live is Romy Vager, Reuben Bloxham, Marc Nolte and Isabele Wallace.
