After the release of their latest album ‘We’re All Gonna Die’, Dawes have announced three UK dates in Glasgow, Manchester and London in November.

Los Angeles quartet Dawes returned home to record their fifth album ‘We’re All Gonna Die’ with longtime friend and collaborator, Grammy nominated producer Blake Mills (Alabama Shakes). The follow up to last year’s ‘All Your Favorite Bands’, it was released September 16th on the band’s own HUB Records to rave reviews. ‘We’re All Gonna Die’ features ten original tracks and includes backing vocals from Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes, Jim James of My Morning Jacket, Holly Laessig and Jess Wolfe of Lucius, Mandy Moore and Will Oldham.

Of the album, Taylor Goldsmith (guitar, vocals) explains, “These songs were all written in a very short period of time, very close together. In that sense I feel like there was a consistency in mood and outlook our other records don’t have. Pretty much every song on this record explores a difficult situation and tries to find a way to find the good in it, or at least remind yourself that it’s not always that big of a deal. After all, as scary as it is, we are all gonna die.” Listen to the title track here, and watch the music video for the album’s lead single, “When The Tequila Runs Out”, directed by Kevin Hayes, here.

The band consists of Goldsmith, Wylie Gelber (bass), Griffin Goldsmith (drums, vocals, percussion) and Lee Pardini (keyboards, vocals). Dawes has toured extensively playing headline shows worldwide and major festival appearances including Electric Picnic, Latitude Fest, Longitude Fest, Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, Lollapalooza and Newport Folk Festival. Recently, they have toured with My Morning Jacket, Bob Dylan, Mumford and Sons, Conor Oberst and Jackson Browne.

Now the band are set to play a handful of UK dates:

2nd November     Glasgow, King Tuts

3rd November     Manchester, RNCM Concert Hall

4th November     London, Islington Assembly Hall

Tickets are £20 in London and £16 in Manchester & Glasgow and go on sale Friday 30th September.
