After an extended break from live performances, LIAM GRIFFIN is jumping back in the saddle for what he does best, for a special SOLO tour of South East Queensland. The tour will include performances on the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba, and Brisbane’s Troubadour on Sunday July 12th.

LIAM GRIFFIN may have been an absent addition to the local gig guides for some time now, but that’s not to say he hasn’t kept busy. With writing and recording new songs for his next release, and travelling through the UK and Europe, it’s very exciting to hear that he’s making the time to get back onstage once again.

Live Review: Drawn From Bees @ The Troubadour, Brisbane 26 June 2009

Sunday Selection: Drawn from Bees : 21 June 2009

Drawn from Bees    With their compelling live show and a much-loved storybook 2008 debut EP, The Boy and the Ocean, Drawn from Bees, have grown their now devoted audience to a respectful size in the time-honoured way, by quietly winning people over, one show at a time.

The band set themselves the ambitious task of writing, recording and releasing a new batch of music every six months. In late 2008 they begged, borrowed and stole to piece together a much more expansive body of work.

March 2009 marked their second release, a new collection of 9 musical stories entitled, And the Blind Shall Lead the Way, delving into rich Russian-chorale influenced vocal harmonies and melody-laden Australian art-rock.

Philadelphia Grand Jury   Australia’s best/only independent punk-soul trio PHILADELPHIA GRAND JURY are set to leg it down the East Coast for their first ever headline tour, in support of their first release, the ‘Going To The Casino’ EP, which debuted at no. 5 on the iTunes Alternative chart.

With current single ‘I’m Going To Kill You’ all over the radio, and a brand new clip for the indie hit ‘Going To The Casino (Tomorrow Night)’ getting regular spins on the tellie, Berkfinger, MC Bad Genius and Dan W Sweat are steadily gaining a rep for inducing old-fashioned hip-swinging hysteria at their live shows.
