Red Huxley are thrilled to announce their upcoming May tour in Johannesburg and Pretoria. The band have decided to do a short tour before they embark on their big adventure in California, America, recording their debut album with musician Dave Catching, of Eagles of Death Metal and Queens of the Stone Age fame.
Red Huxley is a band made up of raw guitars, raw vocals, loud crashing drums and high energy coupled with a bluesy soul. The trio from Cape Town; with Dylan Jones on guitar, Matthew Pullen on bass, and Murray Stephenson on drums, have been gigging around the city after the release of a 4 track EP in early 2010. With a lighter garage blues side similar to early Black Keys and late 60’s Stones records to a much heavier rock sound reminiscent of Led Zeppelin, Foo Fighters, and Queens of the Stone Age, Red Huxley’s sound is difficult to place within a single genre.
Starting out jamming in a squashed bedroom, the three discovered their sound and have since played some great gigs like Oppikoppi 2011 and alongside some of South Africa’s biggest acts including Taxi Violence, Van Coke Kartel and Shadowclub. With an expanding sound and an increasing fan base, Red Huxley will make their assault on every corner of the country and aim to play all the festivals and venues they can.
Their Gauteng tour kicks off at Rumours Lounge, Weltevreden Park on 16 May. The second leg of the tour is taking place on the 17 May at Arcade Empire in Pretoria. The tour will continue on the 18 May at Skyroom Live in Johannesburg. On 19 May the tour will end off at Tings an’ Times in Pretoria. Be sure to not miss one of their live upcoming gigs in a city near you.
Red Huxley Album Campaign:
Recently having met Dave Catching at the Eagles of Death Metal concert in South Africa, Red Huxley was offered a once in a life time opportunity to produce their new album at Catching’s Rancho de le Luna studio, in Joshua Tree, California. In order for this to happen and to cover costs, Red Huxley had to raise $25 000, with the support of friends, family and fans. The band began a Kickstarter webpage and has successfully raised the funds to cover the recording.
