Gyroscope announce tour

Official Press Release:

Having

already conducted two extremely successful tours in support of their number one

album ‘Breed Obsession’, Gyroscopewill take to the road throughout August and September to deliver a 36 date

national tour. The Australia

tour celebrates the release of the bands third single, fittingly titled ‘Australia’

and is the largest tour ever undertaken by the band. Kicking off at Splendour

in the Grass they’ll do a lap of the map, taking in major cities,

regional towns, and suburbia along the way.

With

a fresh approach, this talented four piece who’ve been together since

school, have somewhat re-invented themselves introducing a more eclectic sound.

It’s been a healthy start with ‘Snakeskin’, the first single

from ‘Breed Obsession’, debuting at number 30 on the ARIA national

album chart and taking out the number 16 spot on Triple j’s hottest 100.

The track is also currently featured in all Network Ten promotions for the AFL

season.

Released

on Saturday July 12, Gyroscope’s new single ‘Australia’delves deeper into the band’s pop attributes delivering a poignant

tuneful track which draws you in with its acoustic opening and takes you on a

melodic ride as its marching-band beat and lush strings build to its magic

crescendo. ‘Australia’is testimony to a young band willing to challenge themselves and with this

track they’ve superbly crafted an anthemic major crossover hit which has

already been embraced widely by radio around the country.

Gyroscope

front man Daniel Sanders explains the essence of the track,

“I

can only tell a story from what I see and have learnt.”

Packed

with passion, commitment, and sincere dedication to their art, Gyroscope are

currently the hottest export from the West. They’re completely focused

and ready to deliver powered pop-rock sets for fans as they make their way

around the nation.

It’s

with great pleasure we announce SHIHADas special guests for the Australia tour, they compliment one of the great bills to be seen in Australia this

year with the announcement they are to tour almost everywhere with Gyroscope.

Shihad return in splendid fashion with their new album ‘Beautiful

Machine’. Spawning the glorious radio singles ‘One Will Hear The

Other’ and ‘Vampires’, along with signature heavy groove

laden numbers ‘Chameleon’, ‘Rule The World’, and the

punk leanings of ‘Count It Up’, ‘Beautiful Machine’

again demonstrates Shihad as masters of reinvention. For well over a decade

Shihad’s rock peers have acknowledged the band as one of the greatest

live acts in the world. The guys have shared stages with some of the greats,

Tool, AC/DC, Faith No More, Metallica and can count Iggy and Mr Grohl among

others as fans. With both bands having released incredible new albums and both

sharing reputations for incendiary live performances the Australia tour is one not to

be missed!

Add

Sugar Army, one of the most exhilarating new young bands to come out of WA for

sometime, to the mix and they’ll certainly complete what will be one

serious rockin’ ride on the Australia tour!

Finally,

as a very special treat for their hometown fans, Gyroscope are pleased to

announce their local buddies JEBEDIAHwill join the fanfare for the last major city show of the tour in Perth. With

multi-WAMI awards, a heap of ARIA nominations as well as multi-platinum sales

under their belt this four-piece are renowned for delivering super funtasatic

shows. Over the past ten plus years they’ve shared the stage with such

music luminaries as Soundgarden, Silverchair, You Am I, Everclear and The

Presidents of the United

States of America. It’s been a few

years between drinks for the Jebs, as they’re so fondly known, however

they recently rekindled the fire and returned to the studio to work on new

material with a new album expected to be released later this year. JEBEDIAH

will deliver an exuberant set full of the up beat gems we’ve all known

and loved them for. WA fans can expect some serious rock’n’roll

antics and much fanfare for what will be a fitting end to the Australia tour as

all three WA bands take to the stage at Metro City in Perth!
