It’s been a long time coming for the duo from Chicago, but Local H are returning to Australia for the first time in 9 years to support forthcoming album 12 Angry Months.

Since their first tour of Australia in 1998 with The Superjesus, Local H have released a handful of albums and EPs, including Here Comes The Zoo in 2002, and Whatever Happened To PJ Soles in 2004, as well as live album Alive 05, which was released last year. And, to kick off their new release 12 Angry Months, they will be hitting the road in January 08 with supports Cockfight Shootout from Melbourne. Whilst they are down under they will also be recording an exclusive Australian EP at Main Street Studios in Wollongong, NSW.

You can also pick up the Australian limited edition double disc, Whatever Happened To PJ Soles/Alive 05, out now through Only! Music/Stomp.
