TEXAS ANNOUNCE FIRST EVER AUSTRALIAN TOUR! With some of the 90s biggest anthems to their name, UK hitmakers Texas are heading to Australia this December for the first time in their 28-year career. With a new album ‘Jump On Board’, including their new single ‘Let’s Work it Out’, the band continue to release pop classics nearly three decades after they first emerged on the scene with their seminal album ‘Southside’. The album became their first of three #1s and spawned four UK chart hits including the Australian top five smash ‘I Don’t Want a Lover’. The band’s career soared to even greater heights in 1997 when ‘Say What You Want’ topped charts across the world, resulting in their album ‘White On Blonde’ hitting six times platinum in the UK, bringing their overall album sales to over 40 million across the world over their career. With their iconic frontwoman Sharleen Spiteri out front, Texas will be bringing all their hits to Australia, the first time they’ve toured Australia in over a decade. With shows across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth, the tour brings one of the UKs most important live acts to Australia for a rare night of looking forward and looking back. Tickets for Texas’ Australian tour go on sale on July 14 at 10am

In celebration of their new single ‘Blood’, City Calm Down will hit the road for six capital city shows in Aug/Sept – their first headline dates in almost a year. The first taste of the band’s highly anticipated second album, ‘Blood’ was premiered on triple j’s Good Nights with Linda Marigliano and is out now. Inspired by a standoff with a former employer, ‘Blood’ is all formidable, joyful crescendos – the push and pull of a day job versus touring commitments. “I ended up quitting my job,” singer Jack Burke explains. “My boss was being inflexible but I was also being self absorbed, and the lyrics reflect that. They touch on the grind of work and how easy it is to isolate yourself from the people who matter to you by being too caught up in your own ambition and what you’re doing. Joining City Calm Down at all shows is hardworking Melbourne soul ensemble The Cactus Channel, whose recent EP Do It For Nothing, with Ball Bark Music’s Sam Cromack, is available via Bandcamp. Don’t miss these shows and stay tuned for more from City Calm Down…

Following the release of ‘Private’, which scored over 2 million streams worldwide, incandescent singer-songwriter Vera Blue today releases her arresting new single, ‘Mended’ – available here – and announces dates for a major national album tour this July through September. Her three previous Australian headline tours all sold out and tickets to the upcoming ‘Mended’ tour are expected to go just as fast. The nakedly honest ballad was premiered yesterday on triple j’s Drive show with Veronica and Lewis, and details the aftermath of an intense relationship. ‘Mended’ was penned with longtime collaborators Andy and Thom Mak (Boy and Bear, Winterbourne, Bertie Blackman) and marks the beginning of a new sonic and personal journey for Vera Blue. “‘Mended’ is a very special song,” she says. “It was about a relationship that I had a few years ago. It had been a little while since we’d ended it and we hadn’t made amends, said we were sorry. It’s funny because you think the song is going to be about resolution, but we haven’t quite made it there yet.” “She doesn’t put songs out that don’t come from her heart,” adds co-writer Andy Mak, “so I wanted to make sure we captured the rawness and emotion of the lyrics in the way the song was produced. We wrote the song in a couple of hours and recorded a vocal and acoustic and then built the production around that. When Thom and Celia are in the zone the songs can flow really quickly.” Born from a Malibu writing session during Vera Blue’s first American trip in 2016, ‘Mended’ sees the 23-year- old expressing a raw emotion in her music which now comes naturally. From its sparse opening, it blossoms into a gorgeous torch ballad well overdue for such a powerful and unique voice. “I like relating to people and making them feel what I feel. It’s where I’ve grown to as an artist,” she says. “That vulnerability is very special in music, being able to open up to your listeners is incredibly important.” Intensely personal, ‘Mended’ is a song that Vera Blue has been waiting to share with her fans for a long time. It’s got big notes, to be sure, but it comes from an even bigger heart. “I just love it. I love performing it and can’t wait to give it to the world and let them feel how I feel.” Co-produced by Andy Mak and Grammy-nominated founder of Deep Well Records Adam Anders, and mix engineered by the multiple-Grammy winning Manny Marroquin (Rihanna, Sia, Kanye West), ‘Mended’ will be supported with a national tour.

STEVE HACKETT – WIND AND WUTHERING 40th Anniversary Celebration Fresh from the staggeringly successful USA, European and UK tour including a magnificent sold out London Palladium, Steve Hackett is excited to announce the conclusion of his Australian tour with a special one off Australian performance celebrating the landmark Genesis album Wind And Wuthering. This special show will feature a cornucopia of material not otherwise performed in Australia, including “Watcher Of The Skies” , “I know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)” and “The Fountain Of Salmacis” as well as a handful of selected solo Hackett material. The central focus of the concert will be performance of Steve’s favourite pieces from the seminal Wind And Wuthering album, one of the most critically acclaimed albums of the Genesis oeuvre. Coming at a time of musical upheaval, Wind And Wuthering was Steve’s final album with Genesis, and the second album with Phil Collins as lead vocalist. In addition to classics such as “Eleventh Earl Of Mar” and “Afterglow”, Steve will also perform “One For The Vine” the incendiary guitar showcase “… In That Quiet Earth” and the “should have been on the album” classic “Inside And Out”. Hackett and Genesis fans Australia-wide should book flights now as the scene is set for a magical weekend of Steve Hackett in Melbourne with the Genesis Revisited concert at the Palais, the Acoustic Trio set at the Melbourne Guitar Show, and now this once only show at 170 Russell.
