THE INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS TOUR

New The Prodigy video – Omen
“Since the days of Voodoo People, British act The Prodigy have made things clear in their music videos – they love banging sounds over popping visuals. This is definitely the case in new video Omen, and the group’s interpretation of a live video sees heavy use of flash cuts, fisheye lenses, and in the crowd footage.” [ref: The Music Slut]

Leonard Cohen Australian Tour 2009
“He is our Shelley; he is our Lord Byron!” – Bono
“Leonard Cohen was the first artist I discovered by myself. He is the symbol of my musical independence. The sadness of Cohen was inspiring; it gave me a lot of energy. I always remember all this when someone says that my records are morbid or depressing.” – Nick Cave
“I tell you who I also think is wonderful is a chap called Leonard Cohen. Do you know him? He’s remarkable. I mean, the orchestration is fantastic and the words, the lyrics and everything, he’s a remarkable man.” – Prince Charles
“Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld/ so I can sigh eternally.” – Nirvana, “Pennyroyal Tea”
The Frontier Touring Company and Roundhouse Entertainment are honoured to present the legendary Mr Leonard Cohen in his first Australian concert tour in almost a quarter of a century. The tour will include a series of indoor arena concerts plus a day on the green winery shows.
