THE CULT “LOVE” LIVE WORLD TOUR HEADS TO AUSTRALIA

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.

TOM JONES

March 10th 2010 06:53
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.

BLAKE | Classical Boyband

March 9th 2010 12:44
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.

BLAKE | Classical Boyband

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

Bob Brozman - guitar

March 4th 2010 13:20
BOB BROZMAN
Par Avion : Global Guitar Adventures


Bob Brozman's prodigious talents and enormous generosity of spirit combined with his seemingly inexhaustible desire to learn, explore, share, collaborate and create are legendary within the international music industry. A tireless global touring and recording artist and producer, Bob's career has spanned over 35 years and 60 countries.

Since Bob's last visit to Australia, he has covered thousands of miles on tour, stopping in California only long enough to host his California music seminars to students from around the world. He was also honoured to receive the Acoustic Guitar Magazine award for Number1 Acoustic Slide guitarist.

A linguist, anthropologist and ethnomusicologist, this American instrumental wizard was an Adjunct Professor at the Department of Contemporary Music Studies at Macquarie University in Sydney - under whose auspices Bob completed the acclaimed Songs of the Volcano/PNG project in 2004.

Recently, he has been collaborating on new guitar designs with National Resophonic Guitar Company, and recorded the soundtrack for the documentary film Hori Smoku - Sailor Jerry, a film about the father of modern tattooing, who worked in Hawaii; thus seeing Bob record music inspired by the vintage Hawaiian sounds that he long ago mastered. As always, Bob has many other new projects cooking, including an Irish collaboration out in September, and a project with a 13 piece French Gypsy big band in the works as well.

But before all that, Brozman returns to Australia for a series of East Coast performances, kicking off at the Apollo Bay Music Festival in late March, this time armed with a new DVD; PAR AVION Global Guitar Adventures.

The DVD features never before seen 1978 footage, extracts of Bob’s 1980’s encounter and recordings with the legendary Tau Moe Family, right up to his more recent adventures with musicians in Okinawa, Reunion Island, Guinea, Hawaii, Papua New Guinea, and other locales, encapsulating Bob's unusual life and work.

The DVD will be a must have for Brozman's many fans, and will be available from his shows.
