THE NEW CHRISTS - GLORIA CD
Twenty five years after they first formed and more than five years since the release of their last studio album, The New Christs deliver their brand new album ‘Gloria’.
It has been an interesting journey since Radio Birdman front man Rob Younger formed The New Christs in 1984 to support Iggy Pop on his Australian tour of that year. A number of single releases featuring several line ups of friends followed before the band recorded and released their debut album ‘Distemper’ in 1989.
Following the European tour in support of the album release, the band split up before briefly reforming in 1990 to support The Ramones on their Australian tour. Once again after that tour the band took a three year hiatus before Rob teamed up with bassist Christian Houllemare (Happy Hate Me Nots) and Bill Gibson (Lemonheads, Eastern Dark) to record ‘The Pedestal’ ep and ‘Woe Betide’ mini-album. This was then followed by the 1997 release of the album ‘Lower Yourself’ which the band once again toured Europe on the back of.
In 2001, The New Christs recorded their full length album ‘We Got This’ but due to problems with the label who had initially commissioned the recording, it would be some time before it was finally released and by that time due to various reasons the band had once again split. After spending a couple of years producing bands and touring with the reformed Radio Birdman, Rob assembled the current version of The New Christs in 2006. Former bass player Jim Dickson returned to the band and new recruits Stu Wilson(drums), Dave Kettley(guitar) and Brent Williams(guitar) lead the band into a new era.
They headed off to Europe, playing to adoring fans across Spain, France, Germany and Belgium while also managing to play some shows in their home country. With the bands line up the most stable in the history of The New Christs, they churned out a bunch of new songs in preparation for the recording of a new album.
In December of 2008 the band began work on their new full length album ‘Gloria’ which has been scheduled for worldwide release on the Impedance Records.
