VALERIAN SWING: Announce Full European tour; Unveil Live Museum Video
February 26, 2015
VALERIAN SWING have announced a full European tour, accompanied by a brand new live video -filmed live from the lion's den in a museum.
Having recently been confirmed for Arc Tan Gent festival in the UK this August - alongside the likes of Dillinger Escape Plan and 65daysofstatic - the Italian trio have confirmed a string of dates that will run from March through to April. The three piece have toured extensively in support of their 2014 release A U R O R A. For full upcoming tour dates, see below.
As well as the tour news, the band are pleased to unveil a new video filmed at the tail end of 2014, which sees them playing in Musei Civici in Reggio Emilia, Italy. A cultural partnership between the museum and an organisation called M.O.O.N (Museum Ordinary Open Night) led to the band performing on December 27 2015, with an audience stood above as they played in a rather unusual location.
The band explain:
"We were playing in a lions den! It was hard to fit in the den with all our equipment, and it was just weird to play in such a crazy environment - a museum that is not usually open at night and with all these people watching a rock concert that it not usually supposed to happen in a place like that. We were surrounded by embalmed animals, and sculptures from the 14th century. We decided it was definitely worth filming, given how unique the situation was."

Hailing from Correggio, Italy, the three piece have toured multiple countries, honing an extraordinarily dynamic and frenetic output.VALERIAN SWINGare primarily an instrumental band, featuring occasional vocals; always driven by an eclectic and experimental musical vision.
Having recorded their previous albumA Sailor Lost Around The EarthwithMatt Bayles(Mastodon, Isis, Botch, Russian Circles) at Red Room in Seattle, WA, the trio invited the legendary producer to their home town to record the follow up.The resulting albumA U R O R A, picks up whereA Sailor Lost!left off, but, according to Bayles "with more mood, more melodic crescendosand more vocals.". The band and producer set up camp at Igloo Audio Factory in Correggio to record the eight track album, before Bayles returned to Red Room to mix.
VALERIAN SWING released A U R O R A for free, via their bandcamp, because they wanted to share their music with as many people as possible, without any financial restrictions.
