Evil Eddie – Announces ‘Flavour Country’ National Tour.

Evil Eddie, a name synonymous with the DIY ethic, classic beats with a pop edge, and all out fun, has been holed up in his own
studio for the past year or so, tinkering away like a mad professor and putting the final touches on his debut opus. Now, as Eddie
emerges from the lab, he is ready to show the world what he’s been hiding when he releases ‘Welcome To Flavour Country’ on
October 26th and heads out on the road this November to spread Evil Love all over this wide brown land.

Giving truth to the adage ‘there’s no rest for the wicked’, Evil Eddie begins a 20 date national headlining tour almost immediately after
the album drops, starting in Byron Bay, moving onto Sprung Festival in his hometown of Brisbane, down to Tasmania, over to
Perth and almost everywhere else in between.
