LEENA announced as support for ANDREW MCMAHON Tour [Tour News]

  LEENA’s debut set of songs on the ‘Mean Old Clock EP’ introduces a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist with a sunny exterior, and, upon closer listen, a darker core. LEENA has travelled the globe, recorded from Bronte to Burbank and worked a charmingly odd array of jobs along the way. She’s currently selling bespoke suits in Melbourne by day and writing her somewhat world-weary songs at night. With hints of the sophistication of Neil Finn, the moxie of Jenny Lewis, and the wistfulness of Cat Power, LEENA’s songs show us she’s a hopeful observer and a thoughtful old soul and we are delighted to confirm that LEENA will be supporting ANDREW MCMAHON across Australia this February.

Kate Nash (UK) Australian Tour – February 2011 [Tour News]

The young Miss Nash has transformed into a powerful and enigmatic pop musician.

  The new album My Best Friend Is You, perfectly demonstrates this story. The album naturally progresses through grungy pop, steering you blissfully with catchy hooks and humourous lyrical narrative. The help of 60s sounds of full brass pipes and twanging surf guitar show her diversity and ability to make poignant yet playful music. Often crude and clearly unafraid of a little bloodsport, Nash splashes playfully on the shores of innocence and idiosyncrasy. This juxtaposition is her most powerful weapon and is quintessentially, Nash.

One thing is certain, the coming performances at Playground Weekender and on Australias east coast are going to be unmissable. A clever musician with a compelling persona – shes not afraid to show them how its done. Get your tickets through the venue or through the Playground Weekender website.
