Apollo Sunshine, recently having released their third full-length,
Shall Noise Upon, are pleased to announce that they will be
accompanying Dirty Pretty Things in the UK and Ireland. This is,
of course, as you’ve indubitably heard, Dirty Pretty Things’
farewell tour, but fear not, with Apollo Sunshine bringing their
raucously joyful live show to inhabitants of the British Isles,
it will absolutely not be a sorrowful affair. And if you’ve never
seen the trio perform — their set often ends with drum-pounding,
ear-shaking insanity — you are absolutely in for a treat.

For three dates in late October, coincidentally near Halloween,
Apollo Sunshine will also be taking their love of Jimi Hendrix and
his psychedelia to an even higher level, performing — which means
dressing up like Jimi, as well as playing his songs — as the Apollo
Sunshine Experience for the shows in New York, Boston, and
Northhampton, MA.

Shall Noise Upon was just given an 8.0 by Pitchfork, who said
that it “…represents a certain maturation of their ability to
construct a record. Don’t read mature to mean dry or dull, though–
this is still exuberant music that celebrates its sudden shifts
in direction. Shall Noise Upon is a great record, and an impossible
one to digest in just one sitting. That’s hardly a problem, though,
because coming back to it is so rewarding.”
