One of New Zealand’s most beloved bands, The Thomas Oliver Band, are crossing the ditch for their first Australian shows.
The Kiwis love TOB’s gutsy, rootsy brand of soulful rock. Their debut album Baby I’ll Play became an instant classic, and their live shows earned rave reviews. Now it’s Australia’s turn to discover what all the fuss is about.
I’m really digging the brassy bass line of their single “Goin’ Home,” which received the beast blues video away at last year’s Australian Independent Music Video Awards. Not bad for a band who hadn’t even visited our shores!
The Thomas Oliver Band will make a fleeting visit to Oz, with a show at Sydney’s Annandale Hotel on May 31 and a second at The Evelyn in Melbourne on June 1.
