The Handsome Family + Danny George Wilson

About

Following a sold-out gig at the Komedia, we're very happy that The Handsome Family has chosen to return with a last-minute show with Melting Vinyl as part of their forthcoming tour to mark the reissue of their landmark album Singing Bones.

Their 2003 album featuring the song 'Far From Any Road' from True Detective is now repackaged as a limited-edition, remastered vinyl. It has a repackaged sleeve and comes with a bonus CD 'Invisible Bones' featuring outtakes, demos and live recordings. The Singing Bones reissue is out in May 2026.

Led by husband-and-wife duo Brett and Rennie Sparks, The Handsome Family have long occupied a world of their own, blending alt-country, gothic Americana and desert noir into something both eerie and strangely beautiful. Written after their move to New Mexico, Singing Bones remains one of their defining works: a record steeped in dust, myth and the supernatural.

It also gave the world Far From Any Road - later immortalised as the theme to True Detective - a track that has since racked up hundreds of millions of streams and become a modern cult classic. These shows see the band revisiting that era alongside favourites from their extensive catalogue - intimate, haunting performances that feel tailor-made for seated venues and attentive rooms.

Presented by Melting Vinyl.
