Evermore have their music bus packed and are ready to roll out one of the biggest tours of their career. A troubadour's journey around Australia to perform the songs from their brilliant new album Follow The Sun.

Follow The Sun was just released in October 2012, with the band debuting the new music at a string of stadium shows in support of Maroon 5 and then Matchbox Twenty. This Hero tour will now be the first opportunity for fans to hear the triumphant new music on the bands own Evermore terms of a headline show.

Jon Hume said today, 'It's the first time in nearly four years that Evermore has toured Australia to this extent, it's long overdue! Peter and I are looking forward to playing this album live, along with the old favourites such as Running and Light Surrounding You, to audiences all over the country. We're visiting places on this tour that we've never been before!'

The band will be heading to the US for shows in July, so the 'Hero' tour is the perfect place to see the band before we possibly lose them to allure of the North Hemisphere.

DATE: Fri Jun 14 - Fri Jun 14
Time: 20.00 h - 23.30 h
DESCRIPTION:

After 7 years, countless shows, and hours upon hours of studio time, Escape Syndrome are just beginning to scratch the surface.

Hailing from Canberra, the hard hitting 4-piece are currently putting the finishing touches on their third release 'King Catalyst'. This EP will be the latest showcase of the group's ability to blend their trademark aggressive sound with intricate and catchy hooks.

The group entered the studio in late 2011 to begin recording the EP, with the goal of creating a release that was comparable to their live shows.

"We went into the studio with the goal to create that same pure, all-out energy in our recordings that we dedicate to every live show. With King Catalyst I believe we have achieved this. We have this monster of a sound with a real raw element that you don't hear in a lot of today's heavily produced recordings", explains frontman Matt Faulkner.

The latest single from the upcoming EP 'Shadows Part II' is a testament to this raw energy, and offers a great taste of things to come.

Sleepmakeswaves

TITLE: Sleepmakeswaves
VENUE: /
Category: Gigs
DATE: Fri Jun 21 - Fri Jun 21
Time: 20.00 h - 23.30 h
DESCRIPTION:

Sydney ambient/melodic post-rockers sleepmakeswaves have announced a massive national tour for June & July. Taking in 6 states (and 1 territory) the '...and so we played everything' tour will take the band's epic and climactic live show around the country, in their only headline tour for 2013.

The shows follow a massive 2012, which saw them tour Australia, the US and Europe; and pick up an ARIA nomination for their debut album, "...and so we destroyed everything."

sleepmakeswaves' moving instrumental rock has earned them a dedicated following and supports with major acts including Karnivool, 65daysofstatic and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez. Their jam-packed international touring schedule follows the success of their debut album which has been featured on national and international radio including triple j, the BBC and 7 weeks on CMJ's Top 200. It was also named in year-end lists including Drum Media and Sputnik. Most recently, the band have released a collection of remixes, featuring contributions from 65daysofstatic, Rosetta, Kyson, Tangled Thoughts of Leaving, Serious Beak, Atlantis, Glasfrosch and Klue. The album is cheekily titled "...and then they remixed everything" with the remixes from Kyson & 65daysosfstatic featuring on Triple J, FBi, RTR, 4zzz, PBS and community radio nationwide.

The latest remix to hit radio is True Vibe Nation member Klue's funky breakdown of 'to you they are birds, to me they are voices in the forest' which features the epic track converted into a danceable jam.

The aptly titled '...and so we played everything' tour will also see sleepmakeswaves premiering a host of fresh new material, following intense writing sessions over the past few months. With alternating sets each night and a brand new light show, this will be the band's only Australian headline tour of 2013 and comes ahead of further international touring announcements – and then finally, the recording of their much-anticipated second album.

Supported by Time & Weight, A Drone Coda and The Ians
