PRESS RELEASE
REGIONAL TOUR SHOCK!!
The
Gin Club and Andrew Morris Salute Aussie Cricket Team,
“Gentleman’s Game”
ON
SIDE
Two
of Australia’s finest purveyors of caught-behind country
and four-run folk are hitting the road together for
the first time in a string of shows they have labeled
“The Gentleman’s Game’.
THROUGH THE
GATE
That’s right, after Australia’s emotional 5 – 0 thumping
of the English side in this summer’s Ashes series, The Club
and Moz felt they should pad up and do their bit to
honour not only the Australian side but indeed the game
of cricket itself. To this effect they will be hopping
into the van for a lovely straight drive from
Brisbane to Hobart, stopping to play a few tunes – and
bowl a few overs - at various spots along the way.
THE GIN
CLUB: BOWLED OVER
2006 saw the Gin Club clean bowling audiences at home
and abroad on the back of sophomore release “Fear of the
Sea” and hit single “Drugflowers”, which garnered them heavy
rotation on national youth broadcaster TripleJ. The Club
took their fine stroke play across the seas to
Canada, as well as visiting Western Australia, New South
Wales and Victoria for some limited overs cricket
against teams as diverse as The Drones, Soundtrack of our
Lives, Youth Group, Bluebottle Kiss, The Casanovas, Holly
Throsby and The Kill Devil Hills. Now they are hitting the
road one more time before they leave the crease to
record their third album, due for release in late 2007.
ANDREW MORRIS:
DANCING DOWN THE PITCH
Andrew Morris has been busy of late delivering his
latest album 'Valleys' to audiences across the country.
After taking his quick single 'Let It Roll' to radio,
it has been smashed to the boundary on Triple J and
Nova. Morris has shared crucial partnerships with
fellow countrymen Jen Cloher, Clare Bowditch, Bob Evans and
Mia Dyson, and scored a 100 on debut at last year's
Splendour In The Grass festival. 'Valleys' hit the
critics for 6 as it gained warm reviews all around the
country. Morris and his live band The Dry Bones are in
great touch, and are keen to show their form on tour
this March.
A MATCH WINNING PARTNERSHIP
So
come and watch as the Gin Club and Andrew Morris hit them
all over the park this summer!
Tour dates are available on the 'Disembarkations' page, and tickets can be bought at the usual outlets.
