XAVIER RUDD Tour

September 27th 2010 04:33

XAVIER RUDD takes off on his extensive tour through Australia over the months of November and December.

Having been making steady progress over the past five years or so Rudd has gone from scratching out his tours from pub to pub and interview stop-offs at community radio stations to having the machine behind him carving out the way.

It is a great situation for all concerned as Mr Rudd is astonishing to watch on stage. Xavier Rudd creates amazing music with texture and meaning, as well as a very watchable gig; he sits solo among his array of instruments and creates more ambient music and mood that anyone else I know.

For an alt.folk type to come so far in Australia in such a short time is no easy feat. If you have never had the joy of checking him out – this tour is a good time.

Australia loves Kaki King

September 15th 2010 09:07

It’s pretty much stating the obvious that Australia loves Kaki King, and with the amount of trips the girl in question has made down here since bursting into our consciousness back in 2007, it’s also obvious the love flows both ways. Now, Top Shelf are pleased to announce Kaki King has added some capital city side shows to her upcoming appearances at Queenscliff & Mullum Music Festivals.
Her last trip here was in December ‘09, and since then the prolific artist has released her latest offering, JUNIOR, to much acclaim, both here and internationally.

“King’s playing is awe-inspiring …. It’s darn near impossible to resist her charms.” – NME

“King’s voice, whether riding roughshod over her band’s new found bravura arrangements, or playing the smoky chanteuse, is still a decisive instrument of its own; fruity and brusque or lilting and cowed, she makes every word count.” – Mojo ****

“This is an out-and-out rock album, intimate and gritty, but with some surprisingly soft moments, where every note melts into the next.” - THE MERCURY
Junior is another leap forward for the super talented Kaki King, and she finally gets a chance to bring the new songs to us when she returns in November, bringing her US band of Dan Brantigan & Jordan Perlman along for the ride once again.

Lions At Your Door

August 5th 2010 06:43

Lions At Your Door
'In A Sea' National Tour

Stream 'In a Sea': lions-at-your-door/in-a-sea

With a reputation for crafting intelligent, infectious indie pop and energetic, dance-inducing live show, Lions At Your Door (LAYD) is hitting the road this August/September, celebrating the release of new single ‘In a Sea’.

It’s been a while between drinks with the band’s interstate friends, so expect LAYD to hit the stage with all the ferocity of its large cat namesake.

For anyone familiar with LAYD, the band’s first official single for 2010 ‘In a Sea’ may be quite different to what you’d expect from the Sydney indie sextet.

Since taking time out at the start of 2010 to focus on writing and recording, LAYD has grown into a new, more grounded, melodic style of playing, without compromising the frenetic energy they’ve become renowned for.

‘In a Sea’ manages to channel the band’s energy into a tumbling, epic, indie pop tune that stays with you. With each listen the song builds and grows on you, the catchy chorus belying a new found sophistication and clarity of ideas in LAYD’s writing.

Lead singer Marihuzka finds a new dimension to her vocals, performing with delicate restraint over the sparse driving rhythm at the beginning of the song, building until the chorus explodes with the powerful, arresting six piece sound that marked LAYD out from the crowd when they first crashed onto the scene three years ago.

‘In a Sea’ is available August 20 from all good digital providers.
Stream 'In A Sea' here: 'In A Sea'

TOUR DATES:
Thursday August 19 - Sydney, Gaelic Club***
Saturday August 28 - Adelaide, Ed Castle
Friday September 3 - Melbourne, Workers Club
Wednesday September 8 - Newcastle, The Cambridge
Friday September 10 - Brisbane, The Troubadour

Truest of Colours

August 3rd 2010 05:36

SIENNA SKIES

“'Truest of Colours' is so electrifying, vibrant and damn right beautiful that it would be criminal to pull up the six guys for contributing to the genre so passionately. 9.5/10” – TheMetalForge.com

Sienna Skies continue to have a massive year with their debut album – a best seller among MGM Distributions entire catalogue; signed an endorsement agreement with SJC Drums, Schecter Guitars & The Guitar Factory; and now the announcement of even more shows to fill their touring schedule!

Sienna Skies are a six-piece Experimental/Post Hardcore band from Sydney, Australia.

Their debut album ‘Truest Of Colours’ clearly what Australian Hardcore fans have been waiting for if sales for the long player are any indication having made MGM’s top sellers list sitting alongside artists including John Butler Trio and The Waifs.

In 2007, the band released their first EP titled ‘Where Joy Exists Despair Beckons’ which saw the band tour quite consistently both in Australia and New Zealand which paved the way for them to become a support favourite to many Australian and international touring acts including Haste The Day (USA), Blessed By A Broken Heart (CAN), Family Force 5 (USA), Closure In Moscow, The Amity Affliction, The Getaway Plan, Behind Crimson Eyes, The Red Shore, Carpathian, Deez Nuts and Mourning Tide... just to name a few.

The full-length album ‘Truest of Colours’, which was released nationally on December 5th through New Justice Records, includes killer tracks "Heartquake", "Daylight Through The Nightlife" and "Sea Of Smiles" and is exciting hardcore fans globally.

The Temper Trap 2010 TOUR

May 7th 2010 14:22

THE TEMPER TRAP
DEBUT ALBUM CONDITIONS REACHES PLATINUM!

Whilst it may come as no surprise to the Australian music loving public, it is with great pride and delight that The Temper Trap announce their debut album Conditions as having achieved platinum sales in Australia.

The widely acclaimed album spawned multiple hit singles, including Platinum single ‘Sweet Disposition’ and ‘Love Lost’ - both of which are currently in the ARIA Top 40. It debuted at Number 9 in the ARIA Top 50 Albums chart and is still currently in the Top 20 after forty five weeks on the chart.

The Temper Trap recently performed at the illustrious Coachella music festival in California, drawing a massive crowd and captivating the audience with ease and charm.

The band has also been confirmed to play at additional U.S. festival heavyweights Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza, U.K. based Glastonbury and our very own Splendour in the Grass and are currently on tour across Europe and North America. Their recent and upcoming tour dates are all testament to their rapidly growing reputation as mesmerising live performers.

This July sees them returning to our shores for a tour of Australia & New Zealand and local fans and critics can’t hardly wait.

Often called 'The Ones to Watch,' Welsh three piece band The Joy Formidable are bringing their dreamy sound to The Temper Trap's Australian tour along with AMP Red Bull Award winners Oh Mercy. The Auckland performance will be opened by New Zealand natives The Naked and Famous.

The Temper Trap's Perth, Melbourne and Sydney shows have sold out and whilst tickets to their Adelaide and Auckland performances are still available now, these shows are sure to follow suit.

THE TEMPER TRAP
RETURN TO AUSTRALIA & NZ FOR JULY 2010 HEADLINE TOUR

At the start of this year The Temper Trap gave Australian and New Zealand audiences a taste of why they were one of the most talked about bands in the world last year with standout performances across a series of summer festivals. Fans clamoured for more and the band paid attention, making room in a hectic worldwide tour for July 2010 dates in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Auckland.

2010 is already shaping up to be a busy one, with The Temper Trap currently on tour across America. Conditions is sitting at #4 on the Billboard Heatseeker chart, while some of the biggest radio stations in the USA have set Sweet Disposition to high rotation. The buzz around the band is audible with a sold out six week US tour and appearances at SXSW, Coachella and Bonnaroo sure to earn the band even more supporters. Notably US music industry bible Billboard Magazine profiled the band in a double page ‘Happening Now’ feature in their February 20 issue, noting “The Temper Trap are shaping up to be the next big thing from Down Under.”

The UK story also continues to grow from their Top Ten hit with Sweet Disposition last year, with the band selling over 33,000 tickets to their UK tour, including an impressive three nights at Shepherds Bush Empire. The band are also headlining the Wireless Festival, as well as performing at T In The Park and Roskilde festivals.

Worldwide sales of Sweet Disposition have now exceeded 500,000, while album sales for Conditions have tipped over the 300,000 mark.

If The Temper Trap’s festival performances were mass sing-a-longs, then these July shows are set to take The Temper Trap to a whole new level with four acclaimed singles now under the band’s belts. Soaring Platinum hit Sweet Disposition, rocking tracks Science of Fear and Fader and the latest anthemic offering Love Lost are sure crowd favourites, while album Conditions has become a staple on iPods and radios across both countries.

With their album fast approaching Platinum sales in Australia there’s little doubt that The Temper Trap have won the hearts of music fans. Significantly though, the band have delivered more than just a standout debut album, with music critics praising the quality and energy of the band’s live performances.

“The Temper Trap execute their set perfectly…” J Mag, Australia, Feb 2010

““Sweet Disposition”…had the crowd swaying in unison and singing along” Undertherader.co.nz, New Zealand, Jan 15, 2010

“When the band broke into their signature hit Sweet Disposition the sardined mass roared and jumped up and down despite the searing heat.” Daily Telegraph, Sydney, Jan 23, 2010
“Album stand-outs Fader, Love Lost, Down River, Science of Fear and Sweet Disposition were all monster singalongs.” The Age, Melbourne, Jan 08, 2010

“The Temper Trap kicked off the day with a bang…[the band] have the energy and skill of bands with twice the stage experience.” 3 News, New Zealand, Jan 15, 2010

“Every year one band is too popular for the stage they’re on. This year it was Melbourne’s The Temper Trap…the reaction to British Top 10 hit Sweet Disposition was one of the first moments of the day, but most tracks from their debut album Conditions were singalongs including the stunning Love Lost.” Herald Sun, Melbourne, Jan 27, 2010

There’s little doubt that The Temper Trap’s upcoming July concerts are going to be must-sees on the 2010 concert calendar. Tickets for Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Auckland go on sale on Monday 29 March at 9am local time.

Pre-sale tickets will be available via frontiertouring.com from noon AEDT Thursday 25 March to noon AEDT Friday 26 March.

Parades {Art Rock}

April 21st 2010 06:05

PARADES

'Foreign Tapes' out Fri 23 April
Touring nationally June-July

Album Of The Week - FBi
Album Of The Week RTR

"These guys are fantastic. Simple as that." Richard Kingsmill, Triple J

“Instrumental crescendos and decrescendos against a backdrop of rolling drum lines, sweet male/ female vocal juxtapositions and other musical ebbs and flows” Time Off

"Auditory heaven. Think the ridiculously beautiful music of Sigur Rós but with electro, piano and rock elements… a masterpiece." Music Feeds

"Bold, startling, awe-inspiring and genuinely heartfelt…You could say they sound like Radiohead, Pink Floyd but really, they sound like nothing else around" The Dwarf

"Understated beauty” FasterLouder

Parades are a young art rock band from Sydney who wisely choose to create their own music with no outside input or interference. Featuring Dan Cunningham, Tim Jenkins, Michael Scarpin and Jonathan Boulet – Parades’ debut album Foreign Tapes is released this Friday 23rd April.

The album is expansive and ambitious; a haze of pop harmonies, post rock guitars and electronic meanderings. Drum Media did a great job describing the band when they said:

"Parades create their homely tunes in a garage in Sydney's Northwest, but it might as well be Iceland or the moon. They have an ethereal, expansive sound that is sweet and understated”

Parades are taking on their new album Foreign Tapes on the road in their biggest tour yet, over 10 dates across four states.

Supporting them in Ballarat, Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney and Wollongong will be special guests Belles Will Ring, who are back with a new single Come To The Village, the first track from their second album due out in Spring 2010.

ORIANTHI CONCERT

April 6th 2010 14:27

SHOWS IN ADELAIDE AND SYDNEY CONFIRMED FOR ORIANTHI

Australia's Lady guitar prodigy, Orianthi - known to rock it out in the big league, including with Michael Jackson, is confirmed for a stand-alone concert in her home-town of Adelaide and a sideshow in Sydney when she returns to support John Mayer on his Battle Studies tour.

Orianthi will take a swerve from the Mayer tour, which starts in Brisbane on 30 April and doesn't include Adelaide, to play at the Entertainment Centre Theatre on Sunday 2 May and, after the tour wraps up, The Factory in Sydney on Sunday 9 May.

Tickets for both shows are on sale now, through Ticketek.

Radio across the country has been all over her single, According To You, said promoter, Chairman of Chugg Entertainment, Michael Chugg.
Adelaide fans really wanted to see their girl on home-turf and it's great news we could make that happen. There’s nothing better than watching a performer in front of a home crowd, he continued, there's going to be an unbeatable buzz at her Adelaide show.

In keeping with Chugg's renown to build an artist he said including Sydney for a show of her own made sense.

She’s going to be big. She writes her own songs, she plays guitar like a demon and looks fantastic. Heading up these two special shows on her own is just the start, Chugg finished.

Tame Impala | May Tour

March 29th 2010 02:45

TAME IMPALA
INNERSPEAKER

DEBUT ALBUM OUT MAY 21 & NATIONAL TOUR

Modular announces that West Coast sonic wanderers Tame Impala will unveil their debut album InnerSpeaker on May 21, and are taking to the road in May for a National Tour.

It will be the first time much of the record is played live to an unsuspecting public and will showcase the gloriously dazzling results of one of planet earth’s most exciting bands absolutely going to town on their debut long player.

Following on from their debut, self-titled EP, InnerSpeaker is Tame Impala's chance to paint a far more extensive picture than before, and sure enough it redrafts the entire Tame Impala world as we knew it, into an explosive cosmic wonderland of ecstatic harmony and perfectly accessible journeys into inner space.

Recorded and produced by the band's own Kevin Parker with Death In Vegas’s Tim Holmes on the engineer duties, in an enormous mansion with 180 degree views of the Indian Ocean in the middle of buttfuck nowhere a few hours south of Perth, InnerSpeaker is ensconced with a kind of inspired vastness not dislike the place it was made.

It was then mixed in a completely different kind of nowhere, a log cabin surrounded by snow and deer in upstate New York, by renowned sonic maverick Dave Fridmann (MGMT / Flaming Lips).

Click HERE for your first glimpse inside the debut album, where magic and music abounds. with plenty more where that came from.

The resultant record will first be revealed with the single, Solitude Is Bliss, a joyous summertime romp through fields of honeyed harmony and crispy good times and is just the very tip of the amorphous cosmos that is InnerSpeaker.

InnerSpeaker is available for pre-order now from the Modular Shop (for local & international orders) and from Get Music in digital & physical formats (for Australians only).

Or as a special offer to live show fans, you will have an opportunity to pre-order the album with tickets purchased to the May National Tour.
