THE CULT “LOVE” LIVE WORLD TOUR HEADS TO AUSTRALIA!
The Cult to perform the “LOVE” album in its entirety, giving fans what they want!
Thursday, 11 March, 2010 – Chugg Entertainment and Sun Touring Company announced today that legendary rock act, THE CULT, will be heading to Australia as part of their “Love” Live Tour, with confirmed dates in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth in May, 2010.
This will be the first time THE CULT has toured Australia in 15 years, last performing as part of the Big Day Out in 1995.
The LOVE album is viewed by fans and world-wide media as The Cult’s pre-eminent release. From the immediately recognizable opening notes of She Sells Sanctuary, through Billy Duffy’s psychedelic guitar strains on Phoenix, to the resolve of Ian Astbury’s haunting baritone on Brother Wolf, Sister Moon, The Cult created an album that manoeuvres as a tour de force.
The Cult “LOVE” Live Tour will showcase the band’s alternative roots as musicians and performers, and is sure to electrify new fans and devotees. Since commencing the tour in mid 2009, the band have performed in diverse venues from the grand scale excitement of London’s Royal Albert Hall, to the intimate setting of Paris’ Le Bataclan, this tour will see the band fulfil the ultimate dream of Cult lovers across the globe, performing the unimaginable; a once in a lifetime opportunity to witness one of alternative rock’s most important records, LOVE, performed in its entirety, live onstage.
"The band is redefining the live album experience with the “LOVE” Live Tour; nothing is comparable to witnessing The Cult, fully engaged in the live creation of arguably their seminal album. For fans this will be the greatest tour yet, and for those just discovering The Cult, this staging will envelop them in a pure performance experience,” stated Cult manager, Tom Vitorino.
The band will take fans through a “best of” finale which will include their greatest hits spanning their storied career. The Cult will deliver spectacular production, along with the intense performances that fans have come to expect and have been working closely with their art/ design team to create an arresting set, with dramatic effects, using state-of-the art technology.
Continuing their historic creative partnership, Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy began writing together again in 2001 and have since recorded several songs at The Sunset Marquis Villa Recording Studios, in Los Angeles. Their highly anticipated new tracks will be the follow up to The Cult’s 2007 release, the critically acclaimed, Born Into This.
Tickets for all shows go on sale on Friday, 19 March, 2010. Stay tuned for support act announcements.

THE FRONTIER TOURING COMPANY
PROUDLY ANNOUNCE TOM JONES AS THEIR 500TH TOUR
It’s no secret that over the years, The Frontier Touring Company has brought some of music’s greatest names to fans in Australia and New Zealand. Now 30 years on from our first tour in 1980, Frontier continues to bring audiences the best in musical entertainment and reach another grand milestone. It gives us great pleasure to announce that our 500th tour is the illustrious Tom Jones.
“I am delighted that Tom Jones is Frontier’s 500th tour” says Michael Gudinski, Managing Director of The Frontier Touring Company. “In our 30 years in the business Frontier has always had a focus on career artists and there’s no doubt that Tom has one of the most legendary careers on record. It’s very appropriate that of all of the tours in our gleaming history, no less than a knight has claimed the 500th spot.”
Tom Jones has toured with Frontier three times since 1995, and last night completed the New Zealand leg of his Australasian tour. His Australian shows kick off tomorrow in the Hunter Valley.
The reviews from New Zealand are overflowing with praise for the phenomenal star and critics seem to have had no reservations about the high quality of his shows, charismatic showmanship and enduring vocal capabilities:
“Sublime. From the moment he walked on to the stage, the personality of Jones filled the auditorium. It would be surprising if anyone in the nearly packed Town Hall felt he was not singing directly to them; such was the strength of his presence.” - Otago Daily Times
“Jones is a born showman… He moves through his versions of country, pop, dance and soul, very much making every song his own.” - The Dominion Post
“Looking as nimble as his fresh-faced ten-piece band, Jones shimmied about the stage, throwing in some cheeky pelvic thrusts and Welsh quips along the way…his famously resonant voice shook the vines.” – NZ Herald
The gifted Welsh performer, aptly also known in his homeland as ‘Jones The Voice’, is now ready to romance audiences across Australia and will sing at a series of arena venues in Sydney, Wollongong and Melbourne alongside his A Day On The Green appearances.
With an adoring fan-base that spans all ages and multiple genres, tickets to Tom Jones’ performances have been in high demand. The remaining tickets to all shows are on sale now, buy yours without delay to avoid disappointment.
Every ticket purchased includes a copy of Tom Jones’ Australian platinum selling album 24 Hours, also on sale through Liberator.

INTRODUCING THE HAUNTING NEW ALBUM
‘TOGETHER’
FROM “THE CLASSICAL FAB FOUR”
BLAKE
Including the single ‘Beautiful Earth’ - the Earth Hour and World Wildlife Fund anthem
Just three years ago, four young men with a passion for music, found each other on Facebook and decided to form a classical Boyband. After capturing the imagination of the music industry and public alike, the boys signed a multimillion dollar record deal, toured the world, performed for royalty, and defined the genre that became classical crossover. BLAKE-mania had begun.
Produced by industry veteran, Nick Patrick, who has worked with Katherine Jenkins and Hayley Westenra, ‘TOGETHER’ is a mixture of classical standards and new arrangements of popular repertoire of the past forty years.
The title perfectly describes the album’s themes of peace, harmony and togetherness including Paul Simon’s ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’, Elvis Costello’s ‘She’, the respectfully haunting ‘Abide With Me’, ‘Bring Him Home’ from Les Miserables as well as the Denise Rich track ‘Unsung Hero’, written for the boys.
The song ‘Beautiful Earth’ was written by BLAKE specifically for the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and the upcoming Earth Hour celebrations (March 27). At 8.30pm on 27th March 2010, millions of people will show they care about climate change, by turning off their lights for ‘Earth Hour’. Earth Hour 2009 was the world’s largest mass participation event on climate change, with around a billion people in 88 countries, switching off their lights for one hour. In total 1,059 iconic landmarks around the world switched off their lights, including Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Eiffel Tower, the Statue of Christ in Rio de Janeiro, The Strip in Las Vegas and the Pyramids in Egypt. Click here for the ‘Beautiful Earth’ filmclip.
Blake recently unveiled their highly anticipated third album, ‘TOGETHER’ in the UK late 2009 which has now gone on to be nominated for the 2010 Classical BRIT ‘Album Of The Year’ award.
The past year that has seen Blake triumph at Wimbledon (at the grand opening of the historic new roof), tour the UK with soprano Natasha Marsh and saw the boys take their svelte look and four of the most exceptional voices to the rest of the World. When in Australia in late 2009, their album ‘And So It Goes’ went straight to #1 on the ARIA Classical chart, beating the legendary Andre Rieu. They also performed at The Melbourne Cup and Spring Racing Carnival and the media dubbed them as “The Classical Fab Four”. Blake will also launch their assault in America later this year, at a very special gala show in New York.
BLAKE’s album ‘TOGETHER’ available April 2
The single ‘BEAUTIFUL EARTH’,the theme song for Earth Hour, available March 19
EARTH HOUR 2010 – March 27, 8.30pm

Bluejuice
Bluejuice are dainty fellows. They know how to set a dining table, and they know the call of a rainbow lorikeet when they hear one. They're too polite to take the last hors d'oeuvre, and they walk on the outside of a footpath to protect their lady friends from a vehicular drenching on a rainy day. Bluejuice are your seats down, coats around, and doors open type of guys.
Its a shame then that these suggestions of good manners boil away to nothing in the face of a deep seated psychological need to lie. They lie to their grandmothers. They lie to their Chihuahuas. They lie to their manager about writing relevant press releases.
Bluejuices new single Aint Telling The Truth is an homage to their passion for the lie. The only thing truthful about the song is the title that it ain't telling the truth. It's one of those songs with a descriptive title (much like Stevie Winwoods Valerie was most likely about someone named Valerie). It is the second single from their second album Head Of The Hawk.
But the real truth is that the single follows the giant success of Broken Leg which picked up an ARIA nomination for Breakthrough Song of the Year and hit number 5 slot on the worlds biggest music poll Triple Js Hottest 100. The video scored Video of the Year nods from Rage, Myspace and iTunes and it has sold more than a whopping 50,000 copies and still going strong.
And from March 31st through to until May 9th the band will take that mix of manners and miss truths and The Holidays on the road with the Aint Telling The Truth Tour proudly presented by Nova, Video Hits, and Myspace.
