Boaties are back - Chandeliers album tour August '08
It’s official. The Boat People are hitting the road again in August to launch their eagerly anticipated sophomore album, Chandeliers. Recorded at 301 in Byron Bay and produced by J Walker (Machine Translations), Chandeliers has already caused a stir on the indie-pop radar with it’s 11 glittery pop diamonds.

and will play Transit Bar in Canberra on Thursday 14 August, Chilli Lounge in Wyong on Friday 15 August, Spectrum in Sydney on Saturday 16 August, Brass Monkey in Cronulla on Sunday 17 August, Armidale Club in Armidale on Wednesday 20 August before playing their hometown Brisbane on Friday 22 August at The Zoo and will draw the final Chandeliers tour curtain at the East Brunswick Club in Melbourne on Saturday 30 August.
To celebrate the release of Chandeliers and the band’s first single from the album, ‘Awkward Orchid Orchard’, The Boat People are making like Oprah and have a stash of prizes up for grabs.

Crisply produced and wonderfully written and arranged,
Chandeliers is superb, mature pop music, as good as anything you'll hear
