End Of Fashion Announce 20th Anniversary Tour And Vinyl For Debut Album
Beloved Perth indie rockers End of Fashion have announced their first national tour in almost a decade, to celebrate 20 years since the release of their explosive self-titled debut album.
Their breakout 2005 LP, bolstered by lead single 'O Yeah' which won two ARIAs and snagged a top 10 spot on triple j's Hottest 100 that year, will also be copping a special anniversary vinyl release to mark the occasion.
The freshly-minted double LP reissue comes packing vibrant coloured vinyl, archive artwork, a never-before-released lyric sheet, and a collage of fan-submitted photos. The first disc features the OG album, remastered and packed with hits like 'The Game', 'She's Love', 'Oh Strain' (featuring Little Birdy's Katy Steele) and 'Rough Diamonds', while the second offers a treasure trove of rare demos, B-sides and unheard gems.
'When we made this album, we never dreamed it would still mean so much to people 20 years later,' frontman Justin Burford reflects. 'That's a real gift for us and we wanted to give something back. We put this re-issue together with a lot of love — and a lot of memories…our own and most importantly, the fans. Which is why we got them involved.'
He continues: 'This is as much theirs as it is ours. To have this out in the world again, on vinyl, with all this amazing material from the archives that we never thought would see the light of day, feels really special.'
As mentioned, the band will also be hitting the road for a five-date capital city tour across the country this August, performing the album live and in full, plus an encore of fan favourites and more.
The run will kick off in Brisbane, before heading to Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and wrapping up in their native Perth.
'There's a lot of history in this album, and a lot of love too,' Burford continues. 'We still feel that love and it's a huge privilege to be able to hit the road and share that with the fans. I really feel like this tour is going to be something special. Not only do we get to celebrate the past, we also get to show what's coming next. I think people will love it!'
