LOVE POLICE TOURING PRESENT
NATHANIEL RATELIFF & THE NIGHT SWEATS & C.W. STONEKING
COME TOGETHER FOR CO-HEADLINE SHOWS IN 2017
“Rateliff isn't simply resurrecting the ghost of R&B past like some garden-variety neo-soul necromancer: He's out to shake the sheets, sermonize and get downright elemental.” NPR
“(C.W. Stoneking) the hottest—and most enigmatic—blues artist in Australia” The Village Voice
In what is sure to be a high watermark for Australian music fans partial to a little future retro flavour, American soul and R&B sensation Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, and our own king of arcane rhythm & blues C.W. Stoneking will come together for a limited series of co-headline shows in March 2017. Following on from Nathaniel Rateliff’s barnstorming sets at Bluesfest, subsequent sold out Australian headline shows and the recent weeks spent sharing stages with C.W. Stoneking in the U.S, local audiences will now have a chance to experience the magic of this dynamic pairing for the very first time, as the duo of acts book shows in Sydney, Brisbane and a special pre Labour day weekend Shindig By The Sea in the post industrial waterfront location of Williamstown, Melbourne.
With a brand new EP A Little Something More From… just released in Australia via Stax Records/Caroline, 2016 has been a monumental year of Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats. Sold out shows, including the 9500 capacity Red Rocks Arena in their hometown of Denver, Colorado. TV appearances on Jimmy Fallon, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert., TFI Friday and Later With Jools Holland amongst others has ensured the meteoric rise of one of the most exciting live bands on the planet. Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats go beyond just faithfully recreating soul and R&B from the past, they instead inject it with a dose of modern grittiness and vitality until it becomes the genesis of new sound where the echoes of the past are heard only while moving rapidly forward.
Not to be outdone, C.W. Stoneking has been making a huge noise taking the voodoo R&B sounds from his third album Gon’ Boogaloo to the world. With a string of sold out shows, a haul of rave reviews and massive press attention on its release at home, C.W. then set his sights on the world, first with successful tours in Europe and the U.K. then onto U.S. where he has steadily gained the attention of what is an impossibly huge market, recently scoring #9 spot on the U.S. Billboard Blues charts and critical praise from NPR, All Things Considered, World Cafe, PRI, The World and more. We’ve known it for ages, C.W. Stoneking is the real deal, now the rest of the world is finally catching on!
Nathaniel Ratliff and the Nightsweats were great. The opening act was painful my opinion only but that's not why I was there. The Nightsweats were amazing. Nathaniel and the guys take you back in time when people played instruments and sang for real. I loved them. I wish them much success and can't wait for the next cd. I will never miss them when they come through.
Excellent show. Played everything I wanted to hear and sounded better live than they do on the album.
An absolutely amazing band playing at one of the best venues in Dallas.
This was the best live performance I've ever been to. The band was flawless, the sound system was great, the venue (South Side Ballroom - Dallas) was the perfect size and the beer was extra cold. It was definitely a night to remember.
They are a great live band with tons of energy. There was also a special guest for the last song, Leon Bridges.
Loved it. Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats were awesome!!! So much fun, tons of energy and really seemed to enjoy performing. One of the more entertaining shows I have been to great music! Only downside was a very brief political statement as the band was walking off stage. I hate when entertainers and celebrities think we who paid to see them give a rip about their politics.
Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats is a "cannot miss" show that appeals to a multi-generational audience and promotes a great vibe! I will see them over and over!
One of the best shows my husband and I have been too! I really enjoyed the bands that played before Nathaniel!
Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats were wonderful! All the opening acts were awesome too! Only complaint for this smaller venue - Way Too Loud!!!
If you like high energy blues rock , this is a must see group of musicians.They put on a great non stop show. After the show Nathaniel took time to greet fans and visit, seems as though he really appreciates all the support his fans are showing him and his music.My wife and our three sons and daughter in law has a blast .If he comes back to the area, we will b there
Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats were amazing! A great group of musicians and so energetic. They put everything into this show. My only regret is they didn't play long enough. The crowd was great and they were just as bummed as I that it was over. It was a phenomenal show!
