Canadian theatrical goth-punks New Jacobin Club, best known for their darkly flamboyant stage theatrics and sideshow stage performers, have announced details of their upcoming UK tour. The tour will be supporting Soldiers of the Mark the band’s 5th full length album in nearly 20 years.
Vocalist/guitarist Xerxes Horde (also known simply as “The Horde”) commented “This is really way overdue for us - this tour. We went through a lot of changes a few years back, just as we started to really gain some momentum with our last album. But I think it was for the best because those changes prompted us to go ahead with recording Soldiers of The Mark before looking at the possibility of touring overseas again.”
With a stage show that incorporates everything from torches and swords to glowing masks and armoured corsets, vocalist/theremin queen Poison Candi added that “We still don’t know what we’re all going to be able to bring over for the theatrical aspect of the show, but I promise you it’ll be a good time….we have a lot planned - new songs, new visuals, some acoustic performances, we can’t wait to get over there!”
