Australia, get ready to rock!The Gospel of Luke Tour is coming! British India hits the road this September through October.Sublimely inspired, The Gospel of Luke by British India marks the band’s first new release in eight years and features the studio debut of new guitarist Jack Tosi. The song expands from solemn indie-acoustic confessional to a redemptive shout, with a chorus to rival Oasis at their arrogant zenith. Epic in every sense and naturally, it led to a tour…“All I want to do is play live rock ’n’ roll. It’s my lifeblood, which is why we kept doing some gigs here and there, but my urge to write songs just wasn’t there,” says vocalist Declan Melia. “Then one day, out of the blue, I picked up the guitar and The Gospel of Luke was there.”For over a decade, British India ranked among the top 10 most-played acts on the Triple J network. From Black & White Radio, Tie Up My Hands, Run the Red Light, I Said I’m Sorry, Vanilla, and Summer Forgive Me to the platinum classic I Can Make You Love Me and gold singles Wrong Direction and Suddenly—this Spring’s tour showcases the band’s legacy alongside their latest track, The Gospel of Luke.“Report to the dance floor, Go Go Go Go!” — Black & White Radio Tickets on sale Wednesday 18 June at 9am at https://britishindia.oztix.com.auPurple Disturbance: They’re gritty, high-energy punk with a raw 90s edge and serious stage presence.
