Hayden's back and he's brought his guitar
Monday, 25 February 2008
Well, Hayden's back. His first trip to Oz was about four years ago. He wore the same outfit on stage at each of his gigs and related the same anecdotes that were on his Live at Convocation Hall album, released the year before. Everyone loved Hayden, including, it is reportd, Don Jail Boy. Press release with tour dates follows:
Canadian Indie-Folk artist HAYDEN tours Australia solo through April. He has been making records since the early nineties. Latest release ‘In field & Town’ through SPUNK! Has gained the most recognition placing him at the forefront of the latest batch of Canadian artists.
He comes from a sold out theatre tour of Canada and will depart to join fellow Canadian ‘Feist’ on her summer US tour.
Check these golden quotes:
THE ONION/NEW YORK
“Hayden draws from the traditions of eccentric folk-rock, but his ragged, harrowing concoction of acoustic gentility and electric anarchy stands as a genre all its own.”
MOJO - GOLD SEAL OF APPROVAL (“a release of exceptional quality”)
“The album's unequivocal genius slaps you upside the head. Everything about this record - musicianship, songcraft, lyrics – is superior.”
ALTERNATIVE PRESS
“A little bit country, a little bit rock ‘n’ roll, Hayden crafts each song like a musical photograph---scenic, colourful and keenly observant”.
HARP
“…an artist of remarkable depth and potential, becoming someone who inspires comparison rather than invites it”.
TIME OUT/LONDON
”Lovely, cracked, off-key vocals, winsome melodies and brilliant lyrics.”
