CROOKED COLOURS
ANNOUNCE LANGATA NATIONAL TOUR

After wowing audiences with two new tracks from the highly anticipated sophomore album Langata at the tail-end of 2018, Crooked Colours have announced that they will be bringing their unique brand of electronic dance music to audiences all around the country throughout April and May 2019, before heading overseas for a run of exclusive dates in June.  Fresh from closing out stages across the country for St. Jeromes Laneway Festival, the group will be joining the party at renowned Aussie festival Groovin’ The Moo, before embarking on their biggest headline shows to date.  Groovin’ will see the band moving through regional towns Wayville, Maitland, Canberra, Bendigo, Townsville and Bunbury, while the headline tour will hit metro venues Unibar in Hobart, Metropolis in Fremantle, The Tivoli in Brisbane, Coolangatta Hotel on the Gold Coast, Enmore Theatre in Sydney, and wrapping up at the iconic Forum Theatre in Melbourne on May 25.  Joining Crooked Colours on the headline dates will be fellow triple j faves Nyxen and Kayex.

Crooked Colours, consisting of members Philip Slabber, Leon De Baughn and Liam Merrett-Park, burst onto the scene in 2013 with breakout singles Come Down, Capricious and Another Way, earning three consecutive #1’s on Hype Machine and gaining a solid fanbase around the world.  The result of a patient approach from an act determined to create a timeless debut, their album Vera released in 2017 demonstrated diverse and layered productions from a breed proving themselves as one of Australia’s hottest rising acts in electronic music today.  Hit singles Flow, I Hope You Get It and Come Back To You were been picked up by radio stations and press around the world such as Radio 1, Eins Live, triple j, Majestic Casual to name a few.  To date, the band has had over 50 million streams on their debut accompanied by award winning music videos for all previously released singles.

With new tracks from the trio I’ll Be There and Do It Like You gaining rapid momentum towards the end of 2018 and into 2019, the mysterious second LP from Crooked Colours, entitled Langata, is expected to drop just before they hit the road for what will be their biggest Australian tour ever.  Thrilled about the upcoming dates, Crooked Colours’ Philip enthuses, “We’re so excited about our upcoming headline shows – we get to curate the night, design the lighting and visuals, and play a full length set with music.  We always play tracks stretching from our first ever release Come Down, through our debut album Vera, and now we’ll also be showcasing brand new music from our forthcoming album Langata.”

After taking Australia by storm with their ambitious and impressive new live show, Crooked Colours will be heading overseas to perform at some of the hottest festivals in the world, including Bonaroo and Firefly festivals, plus more.  Crooked Colours have established themselves as one of the hottest rising acts with the debut Vera.  Now they are on track to become one of our biggest electronic exports with this superb sophomore release.

MOSES CARR is the conduit for the world’s divine sound material. The young, Melbourne-based musical innovator has today independently released his newest single, ‘Body Heat’.

Drawing heavily on hip-hop, soul, West African and South American styles, Moses Carr blends together a fusion of influences that results in a truly unique and immersive experience. His many references and touch-points funnel through to create a rich sonic language, comprising of heavy drums and sophisticated, thoughtful harmonies.

Moses’ new single ‘Body Heat’ glides with a momentous force. It is centered on a dreamy undulating sample which is reimagined by the use of fiery hyper-swung shakers and thumping kicks. A smooth yet assertive walking bass-line drifts up and down following the lush vocal harmonies. As more layers are introduced, the textures combine to create a well-oiled machine ready for the dance-floor. The back-end of the track reaches a climax when it cascades into an interlocking funk groove between the guitar and bass.

Moses feels an agency to educate his listeners on the significant rhythmic music of different places. The familiar sounds of hip-hop, funk and soul are intersected by Sri Lankan, Ghanaian and Afro-Cuban music. He delivers these varied influences with a highly refined production style. The components are layered carefully but also with a sense of playfulness and spontaneity. The dense sound world never ceases to transport his listener somewhere foreign yet strangely familiar.

Tickets for a day on the green’s concert with KYLIE MINOGUE at Bimbadgen, Hunter Valley NSW have now sold out.

It was a similar story in Queensland with tickets selling out quickly at Sirromet Wines, Mount Cotton – a result that reinforces a day on the green’s position as one of Australia’s most popular outdoor concert events.

The iconic pop princess will bring her Golden Tour to Australia, performing a string of headline shows at arenas and outdoor venues across the country next month, including playing a day on the green concerts for the very first time, in what is set to be one of the hottest tours of 2019.

And it’s not just her fans looking forward to her outdoor shows. Speaking to News Corp’s national music writer Cameron Adams, Kylie said about a day on the green: “The whole concept sounds amazing, I’ve got friends who’ve been to them who rave about them, so I can’t wait.”

The Golden Tour marks Kylie’s first shows since 2015’s Kiss Me Once Tour and her very first time performing outdoor headline concerts in Australia. Cementing her reputation for a unique and captivating live show, each performance on the Golden Tour is a narrative connecting all of Kylie’s hits into one glorious story.

Tracks from her ARIA number one album Golden, like Dancing and Stop Me From Falling, fit seamlessly in the tour setlist alongside Kylie’s endless pop classics, including Can’t Get You Out Of My Head, Spinning Around, The Loco-Motion and Love At First Sight.

KYLIE will be joined by special guests JAKE SHEARS – of Scissor Sisters fame – and Australian singer-songwriter, HATCHIE. Australian indie pop outfit CLIENT LIAISON will also join the line-up in Perth.

Having just completed Perth Festival and their first ever Adelaide show at HQ over the weekend, Nothing But Thieves did not want to disappoint NSW fans and have added a Sydney show in place of Mountain Sounds cancellation.

Renowned for their blend of agitated but serious-minded guitar rock, Nothing But Thieves take inspiration from the greats, carving their own niche with the shapeshifting vocals of frontman Conor Mason.

Traversing the emotional landscape with an intensity that is their own, Nothing But Thieves tip their hat to Snow Patrol, The Killers and Biffy Clyro, while simultaneously creating a new sound that is equal parts passion and power.

Double headliner show with Dream On Dreamer & The Getaway Plan w/ Ocean Sleeper and Speedlab at The Valley Drive-In, Brisbane.
