Doll Domination Tour 2009

The Pussycat Dolls – Doll Domination Tour 2009
With very special guest Lady GaGa

Teasing and tantalizing Australia with brief but dazzling appearances in Sydney and Melbourne last month, global pop superstars Pussycats Dolls will bring their Doll Domination Tour to Australia in May 2009!

Hot on the heels of their second album release Doll Domination (Universal), Pussycat Dolls kick off their 2009 world tour in the UK before heading down under to play all-ages arena shows in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth featuring the same spectacular production that Europe will see in February.

This scorching band of singer/dancers have quickly become without doubt one of the most popular and globally successful girl groups ever.

There has been no escape from the super catchy Platinum hit “When I Grow Up”, the first single lifted from Doll Domination, quickly followed by the top 10 hit “I Hate This Part”.

Showing their brand of hot, confident attitude, Pussycat Dolls shot to fame in 2005 with the release of their massive debut single “Don’t Cha” featuring Busta Rhymes, hitting number 1 in charts around the world.

Released the same year, their debut album PCD has sales of over 7 million worldwide, claiming Platinum and Gold status in 36 countries. PCD features the huge hits “Buttons”, the Grammy nominated “Stickwitu”, “Beep”, and “Wait A Minute”, helping to bring the album’s Australian sales to 3 times Platinum.

Joining the bill is Lady GaGa. Performing intimate, exclusive club shows in Melbourne and Sydney last September, singer, songwriter, musician Lady GaGa thrilled fans lucky enough to attend! Showcasing her Top 10 album The Fame, the debut release now boasts two infectious Number 1 singles – “Just Dance”, and “Poker Face” which is currently residing at the top of the ARIA Singles Chart.

José González | Tour February 2009

November 24th 2008 06:10

José González
Australian Tour February 2009

In a live setting José and his band are nothing short of mesmerizing, and they return to Australia in February 2009 for a run of intimate theatre and small venue shows.

The music of José González is hardly reminiscent of fireworks and confetti, but that is exactly how his last two albums have been received all over the world. His low-voiced, serious and introverted music has been hugged to death by everyone from the indie crowd to grizzled old folk fans, resulting in gold record sales, festival appearances and several sold out tours in Australia.

In his teens José learned to play classical guitar, but it was some time later whilst serving a tenure in a couple of hardcore bands that he began to produce his own amazing spin on introspective acoustic music. This range of expression, or perhaps better explained as this contradiction in expression, says a lot about José as a person, and about his music. On the one hand it's very accessible, beautiful and speaks easily, and on the other it has a darkness and seriousness that often borders on what might be considered unhealthy.

SWEET DISPOSITION SINGLE LAUNCHES

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.
