The Growl's Douse The Lamps National Tour kicks of this September and caps off a huge year of national and international success for the band.

Douse The Lamps is the third track to be taken from the band's debut LP What Would Christ Do?? and will be released digitally on Friday 16th August through MGM. In true The Growl style front-man and songwriter Cameron Avery hides the track's subtle sexual core beneath layers of hand claps and raw percussion.

Douse The Lamps follows on from the success of the debut LP, that saw The Growl debut as the seventh most added artist on the USA College Radio charts and spend six weeks in the top 200.

Their recent support tour with Tame Impala through the USA and Canada has proven to be the perfect launch pad for the band who have won a plethora of new fans and drew them glowing reviews for their sets from critics in attendance.

Joining them on the East Coast will be kind-of-newcomers Peter Bibby & His Bottles of Confidence. In true WA style the band is made up of various Perth musical alumni including Bibby himself (Fucking Teeth), Nick Albrook (POND) and Cameron Avery & Marc Earley from The Growl.

If you miss them at Splendour In The Grass this tour will be your last chance to see them live in 2013.

Here are a couple of clips to give you a taste of why The Growl are causing such a fuss....
