Vintage-pop duo – BARBARA – will be supporting legendary new wave band Haircut 100 on their UK tour this October/November, and are set to share new single “Master Narrative” to coincide with the dates.
Kicking off in Newcastle on 12 October, the extensive live run will see stops in 14 towns and cities across the country – dates and details below.
Speaking of their excitement for the tour ahead, Barbara say:
“We can’t wait to tour with the guys in Haircut 100 this Autumn. We had such a brilliant time opening for them at Shepherd’s Bush in May, and it was a real thrill to play for their fans who are clearly connoisseurs of perfect pop. We’re very excited about performing our lovingly crafted collection of theatrical ditties for many more of them up and down the country!”
Around the tour, Barbara will share the artful and eccentric classic-pop of new single “Master Narrative”. A fun-filled schmaltz beamed straight out of the 70s, it sees the duo infusing the polished pop melodies of yesteryear with meticulously-crafted offbeat idiosyncrasies all their own. Due for release this November, the new track was produced by Paul Steel and mixed/mastered by Julian Tardo at Church Road Studios. Stay tuned for the new track in the coming weeks…
Hinting at what to expect at their upcoming shows, Barbara have also recently shared charming live performance videos for new songs “These New Communications” and “Pretty Straight Guy”, recorded live from their rehearsal space, Brighton Electric. The films were captured by Avocado Baby Media and are available to watch now.
