Jim Ward - former member of At The Drive In and Sparta - will return to Australia in December for a round of solo shows in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. Jim was here earlier this year for the Soundwave festival.
When Jim Ward was a member of At the Drive In, he helped create some of that era's most gripping, cutting-edge and important music. After ATDI unfortunately broke up, he led Sparta to make music that placed the band only a few steps behind rock's cutting edge, with sleek post-hardcore. Now, as a budding solo artist and with his new project Sleepercar, Ward seems to have found his inspiration.
His music it ain't quite ATDI or Sparta either. It's a lot more subdued and chilled. In typical relaxed style, Ward is only bringing along his guitar and harmonica. He has just finished up touring with Sleepercar and says he needs a little break.
"I need a change of pace and a stretch after a long year on the road with Sleepercar," Jim says in a statement, "so I decided to end my year the way I started; by getting on a plane with my guitar and heading down to Australia to play some songs."
The team here at Music Universe loved At The Drive In and still love Sparta, so there's no doubt they'll be attending this gig.
