Event Details
Europe is falling for The Black Sorrows in the wake of Joe Camilleri’s 49th album, Citizen John, which debuted at #2 on the AIR Chart and #11 on the ARIA Album Chart in April.
The Black Sorrowsâ European shows which initially consisted of ten shows in twelve days, from London to Copenhagen, have expanded to another thirteen dates in Germany come September this year. And when they return, Australian fans will have a new opportunity to witness a band at a new peak of performance as The Black Sorrows embark on their Lover I Surrender Tour for late 2019.
âSometimes you hit a purple patch and you can do no wrong,â Joe says of the UKScandinavia leg of the tour, which found the Sorrows digging deep into the past as well as claiming new ground. âI know I’ve gotta do âHarley & Roseâ. I’ve gotta do âChained To The Wheelâ. I’ve gotta do âHit & Runâ or âShape I’m Inâ – and I do. I do those songs in a really heartfelt kind of way,â he says. âBut some of the songs on Citizen John are really hitting home in the live environment. âWednesday’s Childâ, âSilvioâ and âWorlds Awayâ are working really well and the band loves playing them. If the band loves playing them, you feel good about it and that shows.â
Another that’s found a life of its own on the road is âLover I Surrenderâ, the new single from the album. âIt’s a simple love song, a soul song,â says Joe. âCitizen John was a difficult record to make âcause some of the songs didn’t like each other. Most were kinda dark and every now and then you got a sweetheart. This is one of those.â
With more than 50 years of road behind him, the next gig is never something Joe takes lightly. From Fremantle to Melbourne to Townsville and dozens of shows in between, on their upcoming tour The Black Sorrows will showcase a live chemistry that’s never been more potent.
âIt’s not very often the band text you to say what fun they had at a gig,â Joe says. âNormally it’s the opposite. You’re stuck together in the van for five hours and it’s âget me out of hereâ.
We come to play. And that’s what I still look forward to. It doesn’t matter what happens during the day, it’s all about getting up there, doing what you like to do and hopefully people pick up on it and come on the journey with you.â
Doors open at 7pm. Show starts at 8.00pm.
