KIRIN J. CALLINAN
BRAVADO TOUR, NEW ZEALAND

This morning Kirin J. Callinan has confirmed two New Zealand touring dates in support of his second album Bravado, due out June 9, 2017. The tour announcement coincides with the release of his new single 'Living Each Day' Feat. Connan Mockasin, and details and tracklist of the album.

BRAVADO
bra·va·do
brəˈväˌdō/
noun: bravado

1. a bold manner or a show of boldness intended to impress or intimidate.
1. boldness, swagger, bluster; machismo; boasting, bragging, bombast, braggadocio; informal: showing off

Kirin J. Callinan is an apex predator. A butterfly. A grassfire. A beautiful baby boy wandered curious into the gun safe. You're listening to something very specific when you're hearing Kirin J express himself. And you're right to be wondering if this mania, this insanity, this total abandon exists within all of us. Makes you wonder if you've just missed out. If you're a coward for never trying. If you were ever on the field in the first place. Out there is a pendulum that swings recklessly between madness and delicate precision.

But what is recklessness without talent? What's a prisoner without his trade? A maniac without the voices in her head? What do we work with when the world puts too much space between us and our treasured visions of the future? Bravado.

Kirin confirms June 9, 2017 as the day for the world to hear Bravado in all its glory. Firebrand guitarist Callinan has added euphoric EDM and unabashed humanity to his circa 2017 arsenal, delivering a defiantly exuberant second album. The track list below features some of Australasia’s most adored musical talent, including Connan Mockasin, Jimmy Barnes, and The Finn Family.
