Following the release of their acclaimed debut album 'Desensitized', Black Onassis have revealed a string of UK tour dates for early 2014.
This tour marks a significant homecoming for Chris Karloff. After his departure from Kasabian in 2006, he left his native Leicester and moved across the pond to New York City, where he formed Black Onassis.
Rather than opting for a traditional format with a lead singer, Karloff chose to work with guest vocalists, including members of the Duke Spirit, M83, the Cooper Temple Clause and more.
To compensate for the fact that they will be touring with no singer, the band have teamed up with filmmakers and visual artists to incorporate a huge visual element to the show. Using light and projection, they have crafted a presentation that is tailor made for each song. Karloff explained:
"One thing that’s inspired me a lot to write music is movies, and not just watching them but listening to the music in them as well. That’s been a massive influence for me, even back in the Kasabian days. From classic John Williams stuff to Ennio Morricone. I want things to be visually interesting as well as sonically good. The fusion of sight and sound is the perfect marriage in terms of stimulation, and we wanted to put a lot of thought into making it an overall experience for our fans."
To celebrate the announcement of these upcoming shows, Black Onassis are giving away a free download of track Ether, featuring Morgan Kibby, from their album 'Desensitized'.
