Public Image Ltd have announced a string of tour dates for 2013, including three huge shows on Australia’s East Coast.
2012 saw the band release their first album in two decades to broad critical acclaim including the recent news that ‘This Is PiL’ has just been named in Mojo Magazine’s Top 50 Albums Of The Year roundup. It’s just one of a massive array of wildly complimentary reactions that arose around the album’s release in May this year, most of which praised PiL for their unabashed innovation and continued contribution to post-rock.
Formed in 1978 and widely regarded as one of the most innovative and influential bands of all time, PiL’s music and vision have earned them five UK Top 20 singles and five UK Top 20 albums. With a shifting lineup and unique sound, John Lydon has guided the band from their debut album ‘First Issue’ in 1978 through to 1992’s ‘Whats What Is Not’ before a 17 year hiatus. Lydon resurrected PiL in 2009 for a world tour, and now, with the release of ‘This Is PiL’ comes another unique chapter in PiL’s story,
