4/22The Aristocrats With Primuz Chamber Orchestra – Coming on June 3rd!
So the news is finally out! We are taking an unexpected orchestral turn on our new collaborative release – The Aristocrats With Primuz Chamber Orchestra – which releases worldwide on June 3rd. Pre-orders are available now!
Check out the visualizer video and preview the album track “The Ballad Of Bonnie And Clyde” here:
This project began when we randomly stumbled upon a YouTube video of Poland’s Primuz Chamber Orchestra performing one of our songs, as reimagined by composer/arranger Wojtek Lemański. Their flawless execution of a highly challenging arrangement (which was startlingly inventive and yet remained entirely faithful to the spirit of the original composition!) inspired us to reach out and propose a collaboration.
That process ultimately led to this album, developed over the course of 2021. The complete work comprises nine trio performances taken from our previous studio albums, remixed from the ground up by award-winning engineer Forrester Savell and utterly transformed and reinvented by the orchestra’s stirring rendition of Wojtek Lemański’s string arrangements.
This approach enabled Wojtek to create orchestrations which treated many of the spontaneous, improvised elements from our original ‘band in a room’ takes as if they had been part of the actual compositions… yielding some unique results!
The album will drop just two weeks before the start of our first tour in over two years – the 10-week, 50-date North American DEFROST tour, on which new material will be debuted as well. All dates and ticket links are available at: https://the-aristocrats-band.com/shows
The Aristocrats With Primuz Chamber Orchestra is available for pre-order now in all purchase formats (along with special commemorative t-shirts through our webstores), releasing as follows:
June 3 – CD & hi-res digital download (hi-res digital via Bandcamp)
July 1 – limited run double-vinyl deluxe gatefold (via Diggers Factory)
Early July – streaming worldwide
The Aristocrats With Primuz Chamber Orchestra and all our studio and live releases can be purchased at: https://linktr.ee/AristocratsBand and on merch tables during the summer 2022 North American DEFROST tour.
We’re truly proud of the way this project turned out… and we’re profoundly grateful that serendipity somehow brought us all together for this collaboration. Enjoy!
Guthrie, Bryan and Marco
2/11Announcing the “DEFROST” North American Tour for summer 2022!
Hello everyone!
We are very excited to announce that we will make our long-awaited return to the stages of North America this summer, for the DEFROST tour. The ten-week, 50-show run will mark our first live performances since the FREEZE! Live In Europe 2020 album was captured, more than two years ago. Audiences will be treated to a debut of select new material not yet released on any album, as well as a carefully curated collection of fan favorites and deep cuts.
We’re beyond thrilled to get back out there and do what we do best – playing together, live and loud, in the same room – for our amazing fans who’ve been so generous with their support of what we do as a band. Even though modern technology is great, we wanted to wait until we were physically together before playing any new material, because that’s just how we do it. That’s finally going to happen right before we head out on the road, so it will be really fresh and exciting. We can’t wait!
In addition, we will soon share news of a collaboration project one year in the making, which is slated for release in the spring. More details will follow on this project soon!
Full details for all shows, including ticket links as they become available, can be found on our website at: https://the-aristocrats-band.com/shows/

Guthrie, Bryan and Marco
