Warner Bros. Records artist Kimbra has been selected to
support Foster the People on their US summer tour. The dates kick off May
29th with two nights at Rumsey Playfield in New York's Central Park, and run
through July 7th in Las Vegas, NV. The Kooks, Tokyo Police Club and Mayer
Hawthorne will also be supporting on selected dates throughout the tour.
This year is shaping up to be an extremely busy one for the
21 year-old singer and songwriter. Prior to heading out with Foster the
People, Kimbra will be performing at the SXSW Music Conference in Austin, TX
March 13-17, after which she will be opening for Gotye on his nationwide run.
That string of shows begins March 22nd in Washington, DC and will continue
through April 12th in San Francisco, CA.
Originating from Hamilton, New Zealand, Kimbra has been
performing her jazz-inflected pop since she was 14. Her Australian debut, Vows,
has spawned three hit singles, is certified platinum, earned her a "One to
Watch" rave from Rolling Stone Australia and won Kimbra
the ARIA (Australian Grammy) for Best Female Artist. Several of the songs on Vows are
included on her current US EP Settle Down, which was released in
October 2011. The title track is already getting airplay on KCRW and the video,
which has over six million views, was recently selected as iTunes Video of the
Week.
Kimbra's haunting vocals and impassioned delivery on the
Gotye track "Somebody That I Used to Know" have helped propel it to
an international hit: the video for the song has 70 million views and it is
climbing the US radio charts. Kimbra recently joined Gotye onstage for the US
television debut of "Somebody That I Used to Know" on Jimmy
Kimmel Live.
Kimbra is currently working on additional tracks for her
debut album for Warner Bros. Records with such producers and songwriters as
Mike Elizondo and Greg Kurstin. The release is set for summer 2012.
