The Herd Announce ‘A Thousand Lives’ Tour

THE HERD GET SET FOR AN ACTION-PACKED 2012 WITH THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF

A CROSS-COUNTRY STAMPEDE AND THE RELEASE OF VIDEO FOR THIRD SINGLE, A THOUSAND LIVES.

The Herd are touring next April with a Corner Hotel show on Saturday 21 April 2012. The ‘A Thousand Lives’ tour (also the name of their latest single) will see the hip hop pioneers weave the stories and context of their decade-long history into each show.

A Thousand Lives’ nostalgic narrative sees The Herd at their story-telling best. The uplifting track is taken from the critically adored ?fth album Future Shade. The new video is a ‘to camera’ piece utilising a projector to juxtapose the members’ previous lives.

The video announcement coincides with announcement of the A Thousand Lives Tour, which takes place in March/April 2012. This tour will bring something a little different to the ever innovative hiphop pioneers, as The Herd weave the stories and context of their 10 year history into each night through a combination of narrative and video.

They will be joined by Thundamentals – fast gaining a reputation for their explosive live shows and party jams which has seen them support the likes of Big Boi & ARIA Award-winning Drapht.

The Herd will also be active over summer at Woodford Folk Festival (28th and 29th December) & at the Pyramid Rock Festival (30th December).
