 Dainty Consolidated Entertainment announced today that k.d. lang will come to Perth on November 5th 2011 as part of her tour of Australia.
The concert tour will see k.d. perform a show with her new band the Siss Boom Bang at Sandalford Estate, Swan Valley.
Prior to the concert tour, k.d. will be in Australia in early April, to promote her brand new studio album Sing it Loud which will be released by Warner/Nonesuch on April 1.
Produced by lang and Joe Pisapia, it is the award-winning singer-songwriter’s first record made entirely with a band of her own since the pair of albums with the Reclines that launched her groundbreaking career over 20 years ago. This collection of songs reflects the organic, collaborative nature of the sessions, which took place at Pisapia’s Middletree Studios in Nashville. Many of the songs were recorded live in the studio and that energy is palpable. http://kdlang.com/ contains full details of the new album, as well as a Free download of a song from it.
 Sing it Loud is lang’s first studio album since 2008’s Watershed, which saw Australia deliver k.d her first ever #1 album. Watershed also debuted in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 and received gold certification by ARIA. In early 2010, she marked the 25th anniversary of her recording debut with Recollection, a career retrospective which went to #1 for three weeks and which has received platinum certification by ARIA. Later that year k.d. performed Hallelujah, the Leonard Cohen classic, to a standing ovation at the 2010 Logie Awards which saw the album surge back into the # 1 position.
In February this year, lang’s “Hallelujah Vancouver Winter 2010” was nominated for a Juno Award for Single of the Year. The track is her interpretation of the Leonard Cohen classic and was recorded live at the opening ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics. To date, lang has won four GRAMMY® awards, eight Juno Awards, a BRIT, an AMA, a VMA, and four awards from GLAAD. In 1996, she received Canada’s highest civilian honor, the Order of Canada. She has appeared alongside such musical luminaries as Roy Orbison, Bonnie Raitt, Elton John, Loretta Lynn, and Tony Bennett. “She’s the best singer of her generation,” observed Bennett, who has frequently toured with lang since their 2002 Wonderful World duets album. lang has also contributed to numerous soundtracks, and has appeared in films.
She is renowned for her live shows, prompting the New York Times’ Stephen Holden to observe: “Few singers command such perfection of pitch. Her voice, at once beautiful and unadorned and softened with a veil of smoke, invariably hits the middle of a note and remains there.”
