Fresh from their triumphant American tour with Crass, Goldblade continue to play UK festivals before a headline tour in the autumn.
A busy summer sees the band play festivals across Europe and selected UK dates with the group releasing a new album in the New Year. Check out their raucous tribute to late punk legend Poly Styrene at the Rebellion Festival in Blackpool earlier this month.
The band, led by John Robb were recently voted ‘most handsome band from the UK’ by SuicideGirls.com and their anthem Psycho is to be used by a
top American wrestler as his intro music.
The track is also being considered by Quentin Tarantino for his next movie.
In the autumn the band will be returning to America and Algeria, touring Brazil and Russia as well as recording their new album and touring the UK.
The tour will also feature members of the band being special tour guides for ten members of the audience who apply in advance around historical sites in the towns that they are playing in.
Frontman John Robb’s best selling oral history of punk book, Punk Rock: An Oral History is being released in the USA in Spring 2012 and Goldblade will be touring in support of the book in a multiple media event across the USA.
Robb has also been asked to release a collection of his band interviews in Brazil where he is a cult figure.
Goldblade are also the special guests at the Stranglers convention in November.
