AROUND THE WORLD IN 66 DAYS…..
And Landing in Australia on Ed Force One!!!
Following on from the recent announcement of IRON MAIDEN’s Australian tour dates in February and March 2011, we can now reveal that the band, along with their crew and many tons of equipment, will be arriving into Australia onboard Ed Force One –a customized Boeing 757 – on their continuing mammoth Final Frontier World Tour! Once again piloted by lead singer and qualified Airline Captain Bruce Dickinson, the plane will be flying 50,000 miles round the globe, playing 29 shows and visiting 26 cities in thirteen countries across 5 continents heading into more new Frontiers of uncharted Maiden territory!!!
10 of Brisbane music’s most supportive media publications have teamed up with Sunset Sounds to bring you the Sunset Sounds Foster Band Initiative.
That’s right, this fantastic initiative will not only shine a light on local artists, it also gives them the chance to secure a paid spot on the Sunset Sounds line up, along-side Interpol, Public Enemy, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, Klaxons, The National and heaps more!
There are two spots up for grabs with 10 bands eagerly vying to be one of the chosen.
James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett sear the air with the frenetic dual guitar solo that concludes One. Wedged between them, man-mountain Robert Trujillo crouches over his massive bass.
Three abreast and in-your-face, Lars Ulrich pulverising his kit directly behind them, the hulk and bulk of their physical presence as they shred away inspires awe.
And it’s precisely what’s been absent for much of the 40 minutes since Metallica opened their first Brisbane performance with the Ennio Morricone-inspired bombast of Ecstasy of Gold.
Mystery Jets will perform headline shows @ Factory Theatre, Sydney Monday 3rd Jan 2011 followed by The Hi Fi, Melbourne Wednesday 5th Jan 2011 and The Hi Fi, Brisbane Thursday 7th Jan 2011.
Hailing from Eel Pie Island, London, indie lads MYSTERY JETS have newly released their 3rd studio album Seratonin and it’s hot. The boys recent colab with ‘The Count and Sinden’ has taken the airwaves by storm. ‘After Dark’ is a feel good summer track that will no doubt be the Soundtrack to a many’s summer.
Mystery Jets last toured Australia on their second album, ‘Twenty One’, which featured radio singles ‘Young Love’ with Laura Marling and huge follow up single ‘Two Doors Down’.

RED INK – ‘Catching A Killer’ EP Launch Double Pass Giveaway: See below for details.
RED INK are not your average band, they are not here for a quick rise to the top, to jump on a style trend or to ride a wave of hype. These guys are musicians, good ones. And over the last four years they have proved that they are here to do the hard yards. Their hundreds of gigs across the country and thousands of hours crafting their sound have paid off in the form of a strong underground following across Australia and sinking its claws in across the world.
The groups latest killer track is 3 minutes of violence, pop and adrenaline, with a chorus that will jam through your mind for days. The slurred audacity of John Jakubenko’s vocals takes your mind straight back to your craziest house party and that teetering feeling that things could get out of control – but no matter what, you’re gonna have a blast.
