Local band The Jonestown Syndicate are set to re-release their debut EP, 'Don't Let Them Fool You... Beauty is Forever'. The re-release will include a full-colour booklet, lyrics and a multimedia film clip, and will be available Australia-wide from Mon 14 Nov.
On Fri 4 Nov, there will be an all-ages show at the Underground
featuring Jessica In Pieces, In Daylight Tragedy, The Stanford
Prison Experiment, All She Ever Wanted and Slash Princess. Doors
open at 7 PM.
On Sun 6 Nov, there will be an all-ages show at the Crown and Anchor featuring Quasar, Darklord, Raven Black Night and Intended Victim. Doors open at 4 PM for a 5 PM start.
On the subject of Raven Black Night, their release 'Choose The
Dark' continues to enjoy good sales and reviews in Europe, while
the band have also had airplay in Chile, and received interest
in their material from Thailand. One of their songs, Morbid
Gladiator, will be featured on a CD compilation put out with
the next issue of 'Heavy Magazine' (a German publication with
a minimum print run of 30,000 copies), while they have been
offered a spot at the Headbangers Open Air Festival in Hamburg,
Germany, in July next year; finances permitting, they will "accept
the spot with honour". Fellow locals The Loving Tongue have
begun recording a follow-up to their 2003 album, 'Distant Dreams'
(which has also been doing well in Europe); the material on
this new album is described as a "heavy hard rock mixture with
speed metal and progressive influences, as well as ambient passages".
The band are also completing work on a video clip for their
song Why Did You Cry Tonight? and have made tentative plans
for a Melbourne tour in December.
Tickets are now on sale for The All Age Crusade Tour, a national tour featuring Gyroscope, After The Fall and Kisschasey. As its title indicates, this tour will consist entirely of all-ages shows, the playing order for each determined randomly on the night in order to reflect the three bands' equal status. The South Australian leg of the tour will start on Sat 26 Nov at the Naracoorte Town Hall on Smith St; doors open at 8 PM. Sun 27 Nov's shows will both take place at the Flinders University Tavern; there will be an afternoon one (3 PM - 6:30 PM), and an evening one (doors open at 7:30 PM).
New York State band Every Time I Die will be teaming with Byron
Bay's Parkway Drive to undertake their 'Good Music For Bad People
Australian Tour'. The two bands will be doing an all-ages show
here at Fowler's Live on Fri 2 Dec.
And in further news of American bands coming out here, Seattle's Champion, LA's Internal Affairs and compatriots Betrayed will be joining forces with Perth's Miles Away for a national tour in December. The bands will be doing an all-ages show here on Fri 9 Dec at the Enigma Bar.
Those who saw Swedish death metal band Insision at the Crown
and Anchor earlier in the year may remember that show's interstate
support act, Sydney's Infernal Method. This band have just recorded
their debut album, 'Architecture Of Instinct' - which will be
in stores on Mon 5 Dec - and will be launching it here on Fri
16 Dec at an as-yet-unspecified venue.
