The Contotionist &
SikTh |
^^ |
|
|
American modern progressive metal
innovators The Contortionist return to
Australia as part of their Clairvoyant
Tour, joined by special guests UK djent-metal
pioneers SikTh - who will be making
their first ever Australian appearances!
Critics and fans admire their
intelligent approach to the crushing
riffs of tech-metal, which becomes more
vibrant with elements of ambitious post
rock and jazzy / fusion-infused
virtuosity. Even when angular riffs, odd
time signatures, and devastating
breakdowns give way to hypnotic,
ethereal, and trancelike musical
meditations, The Contortionist are never
lacking in total power. SikTh are one of
the Great British pioneers whom have
shaped heavy music. The Watford mathcore
sextet devised their own Morse code of
metal – ultimately leading to the birth
of the djent metal almost a decade
later. It’s more clear than it’s ever
been that SikTh were way ahead of their
time and with one of the best albums of
2017 now under their belt in The Future
Is Whose Eyes?..The djent-metal kings
have returned!

Emoji Movie.” As they prepare to

or their excellence so undeniable. It’s
been a long 5 years between tours, but

"Sweden’s legendary hard rock band
EUROPE, best known for their Worldwide
1986 Smash Hit “The Final Countdown”,
have announced a run of five Australian
dates in May 2018. This will be the
first time the band has toured Australia
in their 35 year career! The band
recently entered the famed Abbey Road
Studio’s in London to record their 11th
Studio album entitled “Walk The Earth”,
with grammy award winning producer Dave
Cobb. An album retaining the classic
Europe melodies while pushing the
boundaries of experimentation - recorded
with equipment used by The Beatles and
Pink Floyd at Abbey Road, “Walk The
Earth” was released Worldwide on October
20th 2017. Featuring the classic lineup
of Joey Tempest (Lead Vocals), John
Norum (Guitar), Mic Michaeli
(Keyboards), John Leven (Bass Guitar)
and Ian Haugland (Drums), EUROPE have
achieved total Worldwide sales in excess
of 25 million, with the 1986 mega-hit
“The Final Countdown” reaching No1 in 25
countries. The band’s live set will
feature all their hits together with
fan’s favorites from their studio
albums. On touring Australia Joey
Tempest adds “We are so excited to be
touring Australia for the first time!
It’s something we always wanted to do,
but we just couldn’t make the schedules
work before. But now…its going to happen
and we can finally hook up with our
friends down under!” Originally formed
in 1979 in a small suburb on the
outskirts of Stockholm, heavily
influenced by British rock giants such
as Thin Lizzy, UFO, Led Zeppelin and
Deep Purple, the band begin to formulate
their own sound. After winning a rock
band competition in 1982, where first
prize was a recording contract and with
a name change to EUROPE, the World was
soon at their feet. After the release of
their first album, the self titled
‘Europe’ in 1983, the band signed with
Sony Epic Records, New York and in 1984
their second album “Wings Of Tomorrow”
set the path for future World wide
success. With their aforementioned third
release, “The Final Countdown”, the band
had arrived. That album spent 70 weeks
in the US Billboard top 100 and produced
four top 40 singles. With continued
touring and sell out concerts all over
the World the band released two more
albums, 1988’s “Out Of This World” and
1991’s “Prisoners In Paradise”, but
after 10 years of solid recording and
touring and the changing music scene
that put “Classic Hard Rock” on the back
burner the band decided it was time to
take a break. After enjoying the 90's
releasing solo albums and touring in
other constellations, in 2004 the band
met up again after realising their
journey was no where near complete. The
original line up reformed and released
album number six “Start From The Dark”
the same year. The band retained the old
fans and at the same time regaining new
ones. The coming years saw constant
touring with headline festival
appearances together with vast critical
acclaim for their new album releases -
“Secret Society” in 2006, “Last Look At
Eden” in 2009 and “Bag Of Bones” in
2012. 2015 saw the release of “War Of
Kings” which was later awarded a
prestigious "Classic Rock” Award in the
UK. This record put the band back at the
top of their game. The album’s success
saw the band tour the USA twice, the
first time the band had been there in 10
years, together with other territories,
some brand new and some back for the
first time since the 80’s. 2016 saw the
30th Anniversary of The Final Countdown
and to celebrate the band played a
series of special SOLD OUT concerts
around Europe where they played the
album in it’s entirety for the first
time ever, with the London Roundhouse
concert being filmed and recorded for
the DVD / Audio CD release, which hit
the shops in July.

have followed up the recent success of
new single In The Air with the
announcement of a huge national tour to
support the release of their sophomore
record, For Now, out worldwide on Friday

the biggest tour of their career to
date, the band will hit the Enmore
Theatre in Sydney for a show that will
further cement their status as one of
Australia’s best live acts, as well as
launching the much-anticipated For Now
into the stratosphere. Since the release
of their widely acclaimed debut album
Hills End, DMA’S have toured non-stop,
playing just shy of 200 live shows.
They’ve headlined sold out tours
globally and played all the major
festivals around the world including
Coachella, Glastonbury, Splendour In The
Grass, Lollapalooza, Laneway and Fuji
Rock Festival – to name a few. Locally,
Hills End debuted at #8 on the ARIA
Album Chart and earned the band a 2016
ARIA nomination for Best Breakthrough
Artist. Singles including ‘Delete’
(certified Gold in Australia), ‘Lay
Down’, ‘Too Soon’ and ‘Step Up The
Morphine’ adorned the band with
countless praise the world over. In the
same year, DMA’S covered Cher’s classic
‘Believe’ for triple j’s Like A Version

Like A Version to date and taking out
the #6 spot on the 2016 Hottest 100;
making it the highest ever position for
a Like A Version on the countdown. Not
ones to sit on their laurels, DMA’S

success of their debut with recent
single Dawning: a track that has now
been streamed over 1.5 million times and
popped up in this year’s Hottest 100 –
their fourth consecutive year in the
countdown. Recorded between The Lady
Hampshire in Sydney’s inner west and The
Grove Studio with producer Kim Moyes (of

with In The Air to provide a tantalising
taste of their new album For Now. DMA’S
will be ably supported on this tour by
Brisbane indie-pop star Hatchie, who’s
first two breakout singles ‘Try’ and
‘Sure’ have pricked up ears throughout
the world. “Where DMA's truly succeed
(…) is in forging an emotional
connection with their audience, finding
beauty in the mundane and occasionally
making you feel like you can take on the
world.” - Sydney Morning Herald.
“Whether it be their raucous choruses,
or stripping it back to just an acoustic
guitar and singing, a DMA’s live show is
something that needs to be seen to be
believed.” - Beat. “There is much to
savour…” - Q. '…the euphoria they evoke
at this packed show is undeniably
special.' - NME.

HOT TIPPED BY LORDE, THE IRISH ELECTRO
SENSATION HEADS TO AUSTRALIA & NEW
ZEALAND. Dublin-based neo-electronic,
new-age pop act EDEN has announced the
extension of his vertigo world tour to
now play Australia and New Zealand this
June following sold out dates across the
U.S. Audiences can expect the debut of
his album “vertigo” and his impressive
back catalogue being performed for the
first time. What started as the
dance-oriented Eden Project morphed into
something different for Irish
singer/songwriter Jonathan Ng. The
classically trained musician, who, as a
teen grew tired of school band and
orchestra began incorporating more
instrumentation into his songwriting,
unveiling his first EP rebranded as
EDEN, “End Credits” released in 2015 at
only age 20. The year following, alt-pop
icon Lorde complimented his track ‘sex’,
asking him to ‘please keep making lovely
things’ timed with his debut tour to
Canada and the U.S. EDEN’s moving,
sentimental music feels completely
present, relevant and real. Perfectly
placed at the intersection of pop-EDM,
his introspective tone and lyrical
journeys on contemplation drips with
emotion, taking in influence as diverse
as Paul McCartney, Frank Ocean, City and
Colour and Skrillex. EDEN’s debut album
“vertigo” is heartfelt and intimate and
is slated to place the newcomer on the
mainstream radar with a world tour
throughout North America, Europe and now
Australia and New Zealand – an
opportunity not to be missed.
