In January next year, Belle and Sebastian will celebrate the summer with their performance at Laneway Festival at Silo Park in Auckland on January 26th.
Of the trip down under, Stuart Murdoch said,
“The people’s republic of Belle and Sebastian is on the move again, taking
its message of responsible pop music in a revolutionary age to lands far and
near.
A little bit older, but no wiser, maturing like a fine wine ought to, our
love for music, and the chance to lay it on your tender ear, is not
diminished.
We will pop you.”
Tomorrow, Thursday October 30th, the band will take to their Facebook for a Q&A session with fans, starting at 1:30pm EST/6:30am NZT, with questions submitted via the band’s Facebook page: www.facebook.com/belleandsebastian?fref=ts. Add your questionsint he comments section now!
