Live Nation has announced that Australian indie-rock group the Jezabels will play a show--with guests Gold and Youth--at Imperial on Wednesday, April 2, in support of its sophomore album, The Brink.

Consisting of singer Hayley Mary, guitarist Sam Lockwood, keys player Heather Shannon, and drummer Nik Kaloper, the Jezabels played between 180 and 200 shows last year.

"[I]t was possibly a bit extreme," says Mary. "But the low came from not performing. We basically had a year off and I realised how much I live to do shows. For me, writing is the self-deprecating, self-loathing stage."

The result is the upcoming album The Brink, a work that exhibits the group's youthful optimism shining through hard-won experience.

Tickets for the 19+ show are priced at $20 (plus service charges and fees) and go on sale this Friday (January 24) at 10 a.m. on the Live Nation website.

Tickets are also available for purchase by phone at 1-888-222-6608, and at Red Cat Records.
