Josh Pyke Variations Tour
With Special Guests Gin Wigmore and Fergus Brown
 |
In October 2009, multiple ARIA winning singer/ songwriter Josh Pyke will embark on what is his shortest, yet most ambitious tour to date. Four huge shows, in VIC, NSW, WA and QLD.
A regular road warrior, Josh has carved a well-worn groove around the country and gathered fans in small country towns and large cities over the past few years. All of his past tours have sold out weeks in advance and he has become a solid favourite on the live circuit among music lovers. These four, one-off, city shows will be the largest venue’s he has headlined in his career, and Josh will be calling on fans to make their way to the big smoke to see him this time. |
Only having one support act seems a trifle insufficient for a band of Kreator’s standing – insulting even – but that’s what confronts us Thursday night at the Metro Theatre. Still, it looks to be a promising evening. I have never, in fact, seen such a huge line to get into the Metro before, and that’s always a good sign as it suggests that the opening band is worth giving a shit about. That honour goes to Sydney’s Mortal Sin, a band that have been kicking around for nearly as long as Kreator. They do themselves proud. Though, unfortunately, by the time we get past the line and into the venue we’ve missed half their set – and of the half we do see most of it is taken up by that marvel of the rock n’ roll genre, the thrash metal ballad.
