Kaki King Australia Tour – November 2010 [Tour News]


Kaki – Kaki King 		  It’s pretty much stating the obvious that Australia loves Kaki King, and with the amount of trips the girl in question has made down here since bursting into our consciousness back in 2007, it’s also obvious the love flows both ways.

With recently announced November shows in most states, fans can once again catch up with the inimitable Kaki King as she performs songs from her latest release, the critically acclaimed Junior.

“King’s playing is awe-inspiring …. It’s darn near impossible to resist her charms.” – NME

“King’s voice, whether riding roughshod over her band’s new found bravura arrangements, or playing the smoky chanteuse, is still a decisive instrument of its own; fruity and brusque or lilting and cowed, she makes every word count.” – Mojo ****

The Jezabels “Dark Storm Tour” – November 2010 [Tour News]


The Jezabels – The Jezabels		   Due to the sudden closure of The Troubadour, The Jezabels shows will now be one show only at The Zoo on Sun Dec 5th.

Tickets for both Troubadour shows will be valid for The Zoo. And extra tickets are now on sale as a result of the extra space.

Refunds are available from point of purchase for the Saturday night tickets if they’re not able to make the Sunday Zoo show.

The Jezabels Dark Storm Tour Sold Out Shows!

The good news is that The Jezabels have a brand spankin’ new film clip for Mace Spray. The bad news is that all of the capital city shows on their imminent Dark Storm Tour have hung up the SOLD OUT sign. The best news… now you have an excuse for a summer road trip to see them live!

This month The Jezabels delivered their new EP, Dark Storm, which hit #1 on the iTunes album charts this week. The third and final release in a trilogy of EPs that began with 2009’s The Man Is Dead, its five songs represent the band’s most confident outing to date – moody, mysterious and epic, yet buzzing with the quartet’s ever-present knack for an irresistible pop hook.
