SUNDANCE KIDS TOUR WITH AVALON DRIVE
Two of Australia’s most promising alternative/indie bands, Avalon Drive and The Sundance Kids, unite for a three week residency tour throughout Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide from 24 August to 10 September, supported by local artists.

Sundance Kids


Avalon Drive and The Sundance Kids are creating a massive buzz at the moment across the country with both bands releasing highly anticipated new material in August and having recently played sold out shows in their home States. To keep the residencies fresh and exciting for the bands and fans alike, prior to the doors opening, the bands will toss a coin to decide the night’s line up, meaning a spontaneous line-up week to week as well as fostering some healthy and fun competition between the bands (excluding all Adelaide shows).

Described as a group who command some serious attention by Time Off Magazine and is a band you want to see live by MTV, Avalon Drive has performed with some of the biggest acts including INXS, All American Rejects, Fall Out Boy, Hoobastank, Yellowcard and The Veronicas. The residencies will give punters the chance to see what all the hype is about!

Recently signing with SonyBMG, Avalon Drive " target="_blank">Avalon Drive are set to release their forthcoming EP later this year. Already possessing a strong fan base and known for their energetic live performances, Avalon Drive is a force to be reckoned with and should not be missed.

After independently releasing their second EP – Including the Atmosphere in 2007 and recording their debut album across May and June this year, The Sundance Kids have been busy touring the East Coast with their powerful blend of indie/pop/rock anthems, that speak volumes for who they are and how seriously they take their music. Quoted as being one of the premier rock acts in SA by Time Off Magazine, these five Adelaide boys are creating serious interest after a solid string of live shows and an ever growing following.



DATES ARE:

Sunday 24 August – Jive Bar, Adelaide, SA 18 (with guests)
Tuesday 26 August – East Brunswick Hotel, Melbourne, VIC 18 (with Don’t Ask Us)
Wednesday 27 August – Spectrum, Sydney, NSW 18 (with Planet Of The Stereo’s)

Sunday 31 August – Jive Bar, Adelaide, SA 18 (with guests)
Tuesday 2 September – East Brunswick Hotel, Melbourne, VIC 18 (with The Scissor File)
Wednesday 3 September – Spectrum, Sydney, NSW 18 (with Envy Parade)

St Helens | ‘GET UP’

October 29th 2008 21:36
CLICK TO DOWNLOAD ST HELEN’S ‘GET UP’

Originally formed to give voice to Jarrod Quarrell’s (The New Season, Lost Animal) world weary but ultimately victorious songs, it wasn't long before word spread of the band’s razor sharp guitar interplay, Jarrod and Hannah's bitter-sweet, intertwining vocals and the broken glass danger of their intense live performances. After only four gigs, St Helens were opening for one of New York’s hottest bands, Blonde Redhead.


Melbourne's
St Helens
are the inevitable outcome of too many late nights out.


Not to be outdone by six degrees of separation from Kevin Bacon, the members of St Helen can trace one degree of separation from Spider Vomit, Bird Blobs, Minimum Chips, Alpha Males and Kes, with occasional contributions from Love Of Diagrams and Panel Of Judges.

St Helens have finished recording a new album for release in 2009, the first single from which is Get Up

Go Set | going on tour

October 2nd 2008 03:37
When singer/songwriter J. Keenan and bassist Mark Moran formed The Go Set in 2003, it seemed only natural to combine the elements of the music they had grown up on. Having both been brought up on everything from traditional celtic and folk music, to early seventies punk rock, and with a voice for political perspective and social conscience, The Go Set embarked on a unique musical journey. Combining the folk elements of the bagpipes, accordion, and mandolin, with distorted punk guitars and a rock n roll ethos, The Go Set created a sound and direction all its own...

GERARD MASTERS TRIO | On Tour!

October 2nd 2008 01:20
Following the successful launch of his highly praised third album Pendulum earlier this year, Gerard Masters takes his trio on a lightning five cities in five days tour around the country.

Whilst remaining true to the jazz piano trio tradition, there’s a pop/rock sensibility which Gerard brings to the band via four years touring and recording with artists such as Missy Higgins and Ben Gillies (Silverchair). There is also a strong blues/roots tinge to some of the tracks, as is evident in Stockton Shuffle and some what more elusively in Richie P
