TIME TO GET BACK ON BOARD…

One of Australia’s most cherished bands, The Badloves, are getting ready to hit the road for their vinyl release tour. The

local lads will be performing at venues across the country and at one of Melbourne’s much loved live music institutions.

The Badloves became a household name in the 90’s with their debut album Get On Board. It spent a massive 69 weeks in

the charts, peaked at No. 5 and went on to achieved double platinum sales. The critically acclaimed album delivered four

hit singles: Lost, Memphis, I Remember and Green Limousine. The band then went on to be nominated for five ARIA

Awards – Album of The Year, Single of The Year (Lost), Breakthrough Artist – Album, Breakthrough Artist – Single (Lost) and

Best New Talent. The band secured two awards for Breakthrough Artist – Album and Breakthrough Artist – Single.

After extensive tours in Australia and Europe, they released their second album in 1995, Holy Roadside. It was a Top 15

chart debut, received further ARIA nominations, and another string of hit singles in Slave, Barefoot Bride, Living Thing and

Caroline, establishing them as one of this country’s premier acts.

Whilst The Badloves wagon has rarely left the road in 30 long years, their recording output has been sparse. The drought

finally broke in late 2019 when the band released the superb soulbrothertruckinsong – their first new single in 17 years.

The Badloves continue to build on their legacy with the arrival of their recent single, Tribal, which has already received

strong support from Australian radio. The song was inspired by one of Michael Spiby’s recurring dreams. Spiby explains “I

don’t usually remember dreams, they’re so hard to catch. But often enough I wake up disturbed by this one recurring

theme…how will I keep my little tribe together in tough times, am I up to the task? ‘Tribal’ is my recurring dream, caught in

the light of day.”

In April 2021, for the first time, Warner Music released Get On Board on vinyl and as a digital deluxe including unreleased

tracks from their 1993 Triple J Live At The Wireless session. The band’s videos have also been digitised for the first time,

with the videos from Get On Board to be staggered from November 30. To celebrate the re-issue of Get On Board the band

will be embarking on a national Australian tour.

Expect to hear the band's next new single "Midnight Sun" on radio in late 2021 with a new studio album to follow in 2022.
