Announced in the second round of acts for Splendour In The Grass, Strokes member and burgeoning solo talent Albert Hammond Jr. has also locked in three special headline shows. FasterLouder is damn excited to be in on the act too…
The man announced his standalone potential with the 2006 album Yours To Keep, and he’s set to follow it up with ¿Cómo Te Llama?, out 5 July through Remote Control. This trip for Splendour will be Hammond Jr.’s first as a solo artist, after a number of triumphant shows here with The Strokes. Helping re-create his bluesy rock sound live will be drummer Matt Romano, bass guitarist Josh Lattanzi and Marc Philippe Eskenazi on guitars and keyboards. Be excited.
