TOUR and New ALBUM Including Heritage Hotel Bulli
May 14, 2021
After heading to Jupiter 13 for his highly successful release with Martin Kennedy earlier this year (selling out the first press of both CD and Vinyl), Steve Kilbey is currently ‘Swinging on the Moon’ on his way back to planet earth to tour with his band The Winged Heels(dates below). Plus to match the tour a new Steve Kilbey and The Winged Heels double album ‘The Hall of Counterfeits’ is releasing June 4 and you can read all about it and pre order below.
From Steve Kilbey:
In 1990 I released an album called Remindlessness in which I attempted to take in everything I had ever been fascinated by and reconcile the whole damn lot with a weird and wild bunch of songs.
30 years on, armed with three brilliant musicians (The Winged Heels), time has enabled me to give voice to those same preoccupations: past lives, Indian and Middle Eastern music, religion, ancient history, the Beatles and the many implications of their work.
Barton Price an unbelievable walloping drummer. Gareth Koch and his beautiful classical and flamenco guitar (and a host of other stringed ethnic instruments). Roger Mason on piano organ hurdy gurdy, cello (and a load of other weird arcane and esoteric instruments). Together we have come up with this mercurial record that is surely the most important thing I have ever done anywhere anytime.
A new sprawling double album, a labour of love. The record I had to make before I shuffle off this mortal coil and begin again all over – some other time, some other place. But this record is the big one and even if I do get another 30 years down here it will be a hard one to ever top.
I’m lucky to have found these players plus Andrew Beck an American engineer and co-producer of this record who have helped create this huge strange unwieldy chaotic dense bunch of songs that we have plucked fresh out of the thin air. I have never been prouder of an achievement in my life.
Please, if you will, wander through The Hall of Counterfeits and take it all in.…
“And of course if you can make it to a show please come and experience the entire thing live plus some other favorite tunes i’ll be playing with The Winged Heels on the road.”
