Following the release of Little May’s For the Company, the debut that landed triple j feature album, FBi’s Album of the Week and an international world tour to support their Aaron Brooking Dessner (The National) produced record, the pioneering indie outfit are back on home soil to undertake their biggest Australian tour to date. Kicking off this May, these shows follow on from their City & Colour national support slot.
With creative collaboration an important part of Little May’s suit of armour, the band curated a unique art exhibition, which took place in Sydney in October 2015, enlisting the help of 11 of their favourite local artists to visually interpret the songs of their debut album. Artists included Furry Little Peach, Serpent & the Swan as well as local visual artist EARS, who Little May have continued to collaborate with on the stunning music video for ‘Remind Me’.
Little May are proud to announce their #artforthecompany tour poster competition, inviting designers and visual artists to create their own poster artwork for the upcoming tour. The winner will have their poster distributed across the country, as well as a prize pack fit for any aspiring creative, full details at littlemaymusic.com/artforthecompany
It’s been a whirlwind two years for the band which saw them achieving over 20 million Spotify streams, topping the hype machine charts, and selling our shows across France, Germany, the US, UK and Australia. They’ve also had airplay across BBC Radio 1, Radio 2, KCRW and triple j, culminating in their acclaimed debut album, recorded in a converted nineteenth century church in Hudson New York. They have most recently delighted with their spin of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ ‘Skeletons’ for Tavi Gevinson’s Rookie Magazine.
Renowned for their engaging, stirring and stunning live shows, Little May have supported the likes of Cloud Control, Angus and Julia Stone, Cold War Kids and Rodriguez. Their unique performances have been experienced at Splendour In The Grass, Bonnaroo, Gentlemen of The Road, The Great Escape and CMJ where they were named one of the ’11 Breakout Acts of CMJ’.
