Powderfinger surprised fans today with three shows all around the country. The gigs were announced just half an hour before they kicked off on Twitter.
It all started in Powderfinger’s home town this morning, with 1400 fans turning up to see the band rock Post Office Square. Then it was off to Sydney to play Martin Place. Finally the band headed to Melbourne this afternoon.
The sets included several tracks from the band’s upcoming album Golden Rule, including the current single “All The Dreamers.”
Speaking in Sydney, Bernard Fanning told The Daily Telegraph things were going as planned.
“Two thirds of the way through it’s been fun – there’s been no major disasters, however the group struggled to hear each other play above the background noise,” Fanning said.
Bassist John Collins said the schedule was hectic, but “that’s the whole idea, to make it fun and full on.”
Full on indeed. It’s exciting to see a band using Twitter in such an innovative way, instead of the usual boring updates!
