Wolves In The Throne Room 1st ever Australian tour + select Northwest dates
Statement for NW shows
Wolves in the Throne Room are happy to announce that after a restful hiatus we will embark on a tour of Cascadia in February 2010.
When we returned home after our last long series of journeys we concluded that the options before us were to never tour again or to seize complete control over the way that we tour.
These four concerts will be the debut of our new approach to performance. We will travel with our own powerful sound system and crew of comrades so that we will be able to completely control the energy of any space in which we perform. Our live sound was forged in underground warehouses and in the amphitheatre of the outdoors. We’ll be focusing on these anarchic venues in order to bring about the transformations that we require.
We want to thank all of the people who have supported us over the years, especially the audiences who have connected with our music. We look forward to deepening and strengthening the energy we bring to the stage. These future performances will be the most authentic and fully realized expressions of our Spirit!
