It’s been 30 years since North Carolina indie-rockers Superchunk released their classic fourth album, "Foolish", and they're bringing it and the rest of their bulging back catalogue Down Under.
Produced by Brian Paulson (Slint, Beck, Wilco, Dinosaur Jr) and mixed by the legendary Steve Albini, it was just one of the band’s many releases that resonated with musicians, critics and music lovers alike, and became one of Merge Records’ biggest releases.
Written following the break-up of Mac McCaughan (guitar and vocals) and Laura Ballance (bass and vocals) who both remained in the band and co-founded Merge, its powerful and catchy melodies and raw emotion still make "Foolish" stand out as one of the band’s best albums.
Since forming in Chapel Hill in 1989, Superchunk has released 12 full-length albums, including most recently, "Wild Loneliness", and three collections of singles and rarities. This year alone has seen the band busy with the release of their "Everybody Dies" b/w "As in a Blender" single and "Misfits & Mistakes: Singles, B-sides & Strays 2007-2013" compilation, plus a whirlwind tour of Japan.
Following their first tour this August in Portugal and a run of US shows throughout October, Superchunk will hit Australia for a national tour this month.
