Brisbane boys Blame Ringo are set to wow the Powerhouse with their three- week residency this June.

Listen to the album in its entirety on the bands facebook page. As Syndicate hit the studio, getting match-fit for their self-titled album tour, they do |
so with a bigger goal in mind than simply another string of shows around the country. For as much as this is an album tour, it is most certainly not just that.

It’s been over ten years since five kids from Kansas City, USA crashed the party of every punk-leaning teen worldwide with their breathless hooks and feverish intensity. In the blink of an eye THE GET UP KIDS were suddenly the darlings of the underground, cementing their significance with 1999’s seminal ‘Something To Write Home About’… “It’s original, powerful, aggressive, heartfelt… it is simply the greatest pop punk album ever written.” – Sputnik Music
After famously calling it a day in March 2005, THE GET UP KIDS stunned the music world in November 2008 by announcing their reformation. |
Their comeback album ‘There Are Rules’ challenges the foundations of a scene they helped build and it “truly stands out in the members’ collective catalogs as a completely unique entity, and one that should be viewed as nothing less than an absolutely stunning success” – Alternative Press.

Its Karnivools first full Australian tour since the New Day tour in June and July 2010, but theyve hardly sat on their hands since then as soon as the last slab of fat bottom end rang out from that run, the band got on a plane and headed to Europe to play on the main stage at Sonisphere Festival in the UK (along with Slayer, Alice in Chains, Pendulum and Iron Maiden) before spending 5 weeks headlining throughout the US and Canada. Not content with this they again crossed continents headlining and selling out major |
venues throughout mainland Europe and the UK, proving that not even Europes coldest winter in a decade could keep the band off the road. Having your merch snowed in and selling out iconic venues like the Melkweg in Amsterdam and Scala in London was a new experience for Karnivool, but added to the fun!
