Just had a visit to the east coast, gig highlights were Paradise Motel, Pimmon and Pikelet.
UPDATE – Swervedriver are finally returning to Australia in February, but unfortunately no Adelaide date. Given their popularity in Australia in the past I was sure they’d do a more extensive tour so this is quite disappointing.
UPDATE 2 – The Ninetynine gig next week has been cancelled.
UPDATE 3 – Flying Lotus, Gaslamp Killer & Hudson Mohawke are missing Adelaide on their tour. Can someone please send me some good news about gigs?
UPDATE 4 – No, it just got worse. The Swans tour in March but not Adelaide.
