Fresh off an east coast tour supporting RATATAT (US), Newcastle's ALPS is heading straight back on the road for a full national tour to promote the release of his fourth full length and twelfth effort total, 'Alps of New South Wails'.

Recorded in bedrooms and artspaces between Dunedin NZ and Newcastle NSW and mastered in Melbourne by Eddy Current Supression Ring's Mikey Young, 'Alps of New South Wails' is out Feburary 11 on Past Futures.

To fill in the gaps on stage, Alps is expanding from a solo act into a four piece band. Band member recruits come from Newcastle band BARE GRILLZ, who since their humble houseshow beginnings in early 2010 have gone on to become Newcastle's best loved band and be name dropped by Polaroids of Androids as "probably the best band in Australia right now". Conveniently, BARE GRILLZ are also taking the opportunity to play supports on all shows, on their first national jaunt.
