ANNOUNCE TOUR DATES IN SUPPORT OF NEW ALBUM ‘VIVA'
STREAM / BUY HERE
tenebrous LIAR, the project of Steve Gullick, are back with a new album ‘VIVA'.
Released in the Spring of 2026, Gullick (vox, guitar, harmonica) and an entourage including Brendan Casey (bass), Tom Glendining (drums), and Aimee Lovric (guitar), will be taking it out on the road this June.
Beginning with a hometown show at the LTB Showrooms in Coventry, consequent dates will see the band perform in Nottingham, London, and Norwich across the month. Support will come from DRIFT. & Richard Warren at all dates, plus Compliance Unit (Coventry only) and The Breeding (Norwich only). The full list of dates are below.
Since their conception in 2005, tenebrous LIAR has grown from ambitious side-project to fully fledged four-part group. With an ever changing line up, notable past members have included the likes of Duke Garwood, Ed Harcourt, Tom and Dan Glendining, and more with Gullick remaining their core creative constant.
Influenced by the gnarled, amorphous explorations of maverick acts like Neil Young to Nirvana, The Stooges to The Velvet Underground, the band have released ten studio albums in their two-decade existence; many of which in recent times have been self-released on Gulick's own TV Records label, and produced by labelmate Richard Warren.
tenebrous LIAR's most recent work, ‘VIVA', finds the band in formidable form. Released on the Deathto label in April, from the loose wanderings of "Julio", to the propulsive drive of "Juggernaut" and the dissonant sprawl of the 11-minute closer "Tema de Julio", the band deliver a tangled, complex masterclass of sonic textures.
Recorded to tape in Cambridgeshire in Winter 25/26, ‘VIVA' is available now on CD, Limited edition hand stamped CD, and digitally. There is also a limited edition of 30 lathe cut 12" black vinyl copies - each copy is numbered, hand stamped & ships with an insert & 12" X 10" original Steve Gullick signed darkroom photographic print.
Over the years, tenebrous Liar have perfected their live show alongside major artists including Foo Fighters, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Soulsavers, and Blood Red Shoes. Catch the band out on the road this Summer at these dates as follows:
