Good news if you’re one of the fans who has waited over two decades for the group to return.
The Merry Widows, the legendary Australian folk-rock group that has been compared to acts as diverse as The Go-Betweens and Midnight Oil, are set to return for a mere four shows this year.
All this admittedly brief activity marks the end of a 21-year long silence for the group. Looks like the timing is just right, too – the politically minded band will be playing a special Sydney show on election night. So if the unceasing horror of politics is getting you down, head to the Widows’ show to dance away your grief.
The Merry Widows play Lazybones Lounge on Saturday July 2. For more information, head to the Lazybones Facebook page, here.
