The post-rock group returns to Australia in December for a series of shows around the country.

Best known for being at the forefront of the then-burgeoning post-rock movement, the legendary Tortoise are set to return to Australian shores in December, following the release of the band’s latest album The Catastrophist in January.

Ever-experimental, evolving and improvisational, the quintet continue to push against the boundaries of definition with their inimitable instrumentation. After 25 years and seven albums, the group’s live shows continue to be as powerful as ever, fusing the electronic and the organic, and melding jazz, prog, indie, prog rock and Krautrock into a unique blend.

Tortoise will play at the Manning Bar on Wednesday December 7, with tickets available at the venue or fromlifeisnoise.com
