Despite it being a midweek show and with a doors open time of midnight, the second Melbourne show for the killer double bill of Canada’s Caribou and the UK’s Four Tet to be held at Melbourne’s Hi-Fi on February 16th is well over half sold out already so a complete sell out is a given. The Perth International Arts Festival show (PIAF) for the pairing has also sold out with Sydney & Brisbane hot on their heels. Again: you snooze…
Full tour dates here
We knew anticipation was high when we announced a tour for UK post-hardcore/shoegaze pioneers Swervedriver but we weren’t expecting so much demand that a second Melbourne show would be required (though, really, we should have known from the amount of support band requests) but here we are on the verge of a sold-out Corner Hotel show and very pleased to announce a second Melbourne show at The Gershwin Room (home of Rockwiz!) on Thursday 17th February.

Ed Kuepper joins with former sparring partner Mark Dawson on drums, to re-imagine his classic albums Electrical Storm and Today Wonder – in their entirety – for shows in Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney, Newcastle & Kincumber this coming March. This is the first time Ed & Mark have worked together since the early nineties.
Lloyd Cole returns to our shores next February, this time in the guise of the Lloyd Cole Small Ensemble, an acoustic three-piece featuring the talents of Lloyd Cole on vocals and acoustic guitar plus Mark Schwaber on acoustic guitar and mandolin and Matt Cullen on acoustic guitar and banjo.
“It is quite possibly the best Lloyd Cole-edition ever, with never-ending highpoints; from the old ‘Rattlesnakes’ (on mandolin) to the new fantastically beautiful ‘Why in the world’.” – DN (Swedish paper)
With his most recent Australian solo tour having been a complete sell out this first band outing of Cole’s for over twenty years is sure to follow suit.
The enigmatic Cat Power returns to our shores this January performing at the Sydney Opera House, Perth’s outdoor venue, ‘The Quarry’ and for select headline dates.
Over the years Cat Power has continued to visit Australia on a semi-permanent basis – usually in our summer – and has appeared in solo mode and trio mode, in pubs, dining rooms and theatres. The size of the shows have built since then and in recent times Cat Power has appeared on the main-stage at the Pyramid and Days Like These Festivals as well as headlining sold out performances at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre, Brisbane’s Powerhouse and Tivoli Theatres, Melbourne’s Forum Theatre and Perth’s Astor Theatre, amongst many others.
Cat Power returns this time showcasing material from her new album (currently in progress) as well as old favourites and will again feature the talents of Jim White (Dirty Three) and Judah Bauer (guitar).
Tickets for all shows are on sale Friday December 10th and are expected to sell fast!
