Fourth-generation Albertan rancher, former punk/metal bandleader award winning Canadian roots star Corb Lund and his band the Hurtin’ Albertans will return to Australia this September/October to perform at the CMC Rocks North QLD festival and the Deni Ute Muster, as well as two intimate club shows in Brisbane and Sydney. All shows are on sale now.
Since his first trip down under a decade ago, the Canadian Roots Artist of the Year has made Australia a second home. His performances at East Coast Blues and Roots, CMC Rocks the Snowys, CMC Rocks the Hunter, Deni Ute Muster and tours across Australia have built up a massive local fanbase, hooked on Corb’s quirky lyrics and rhythmic vocals and the bands undeniable high energy and on-stage chemistry.
Corb’s latest album is the critically acclaimed Cabin Fever. Mixing wry observations with imagery from cowboy life and elsewhere, Cabin Fever places Lund in the company of songwriters like Hayes Carll, James McMurtry, and Dave Alvin. He cites his time in the punk/metal band The Smalls in his writing. Lund says, "Chaos and irreverence informs the way I write”.
Written in his cabin in Alberta, New York City, Austin, and Las Vegas, Cabin Fever offers a portrait of a survivalist preparing for the apocalypse ("Gettin' Down On The Mountain"); a tale of a rural man losing a woman to the allure of New York City life ("September"); an ode to his vintage BMW motorcycles ("Mein Deutsches Motorrad"); the broken-hearted anthem "(You Ain't A Cowboy) If You Ain't Been Bucked Off"; new drinking songs such as "Drink It Like You Mean It" and "Pour 'Em Kinda Strong"; the yodeling introduction and physicality of "Priceless Antique Pistol Shoots Startled Owner"; a hymn to man’s best farmyard friend (“Cows Around”) and another throwback to his punk days, the laugh-out-loud desire to date "The Gothest Girl I Can."
