Some UK Band Announce Small Australian Tour

February 27, 2012 by Lachy 2 Comments

For once the crazy rumours were right: Radiohead are touring Australia this year. That’s really all there is to say I suppose, especially because this news is already everywhere. Of interest however is that fact that apparently no new shows will be added to the dates already announced, so it seems like if you miss out, tough.

Lana Del Rey Australian Tour

December 12, 2011 by Lachy 0 Comments

The most divisive figure to ever play gentle retro indie pop music, Lana Del Rey, has announced an Australian tour (or at least two dates, anyway), which was fairly predictable given her insane popularity over here at the moment. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the venues get an upgrade, either, because I can’t see tickets to the Toff show in particular lasting very long. Here are the details.

Sharon Van Etten ‘Serpents’

December 1, 2011 by Lachy 0 Comments

I’ve been a big fan of American singer/songwriter Sharon Van Etten since I was introduced to her music through her collaboration with The National on their track Think You Can Wait.

In the most exciting tour announcement in quite some time, UK band Elbow have revealed that they will be returning to Australia less than a year after absolutely killing it at Splendour In The Grass. And, as if that wasn’t enough, they are also bringing fellow UK band, the excellent Bombay Bicycle Club, with them for the series of shows. This is not a tour to be missed, and it looks like I may just have to break my ‘no festival hall gigs’ policy. Tickets are on sale December 6th.

November 21, 2011 by Lachy 0 Comments

While I wasn’t personally a big fan of the Big Day Out lineup this year, and can’t really see myself braving that crowd again, there are definitely a few bands I would quite like to see at headline shows. With that in mind, here’s a bunch of Big Day Out sideshows that were just announced for Melbourne.
