Before the local stuff, a bit of general touring news. The Paradise Motel are back together, have a new album and are touring the East Coast around late Sep early Oct. As mentioned in an earlier post Mouse on Mars are touring in late Oct, early Nov. Built to Spill have been announced for the Peats Ridge Festival in late Dec, I expect they’ll probably tour other festivals so not so confident about an Adelaide date. Finally a nice rumour going around is that the Swans could come to Australia next year.

The question that’s really been on my mind (not just lately, it’s been on my mind since about January 11 2009) is this – will All Tomorrow’s Parties festival be coming back to Australia?
