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.

Sunday 24 August – Jive Bar, Adelaide, SA 18 (with guests)
Tuesday 26 August – East Brunswick Hotel, Melbourne, VIC 18 (with Don’t Ask Us)

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.

As always Cameron Undy steers the ship to higher ground with his uncompromising dedication to solid and extrapolating bass line construction perfectly complimented by the group’s most recent addition, drummer Evan Mannell.

The Gerard Masters Trio has been performing together since 2000 and have developed into one of Australia’s finest modern jazz groups.

Led by New Zealand born Gerard Masters, the trio has been a significant part of Sydney label Jazzgroove Records and has performed at major jazz festivals in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Europe.



OCTOBER 2008 – Five Cities In Five Days!
SAT 11 - Wollongong Conservatorium
SUN 12 - Bennetts Lane (Melbourne)
MON 13 - COMA - Wheatsheaf Hotel (Adelaide)
TUE 14 - JAZZGROOVE - Excelsior Hotel (Sydney) www.jazzgroove.com

SWEET DISPOSITION SINGLE LAUNCHES

The Temper Trap


Respected Melbourne four piece The Temper Trap return to the live front to celebrate the release of their latest single, Sweet Disposition, taken from their forthcoming debut album. Recently recorded in Melbourne with esteemed UK producer Jim Abbiss (Massive Attack, DJ Shadow, Arctic Monkeys) the record’s rich and sophisticated soundscapes are nothing short of epic.

The band have emerged from the recording session as a tight knit creative force, producing a dynamic single that is a giant leap from their earlier EP of two years ago and undeniably delivers on all of their promise.

The single launches are the beginning of a massive twelve months ahead for the boys with a busy summer touring schedule of festivals and overseas shows confirmed.

The Temper Trap will have a limited edition 12" available at these shows with remixes from such underground luminaries as Curtis Vodka (Bjork, Silversun Pickups, Kid Sister) and Pocketknife (Spank Rock, David Bowie, Feist, Sufjan Stevens) for this release.
