Daniel Johnston Acoustic Australian Live Set Gets Digital Release

Punters raved about Daniel Johnston’s shows this February. In between slots at the Laneway Festival and theatres, the American singer-songwriter took time out to record an acoustic session in Sydney’s Albert Studios. Now that live set will be released as an EP through Hub The Label and Albert productions.

The EP features many tracks which have never been released live anywhere in the world. Standout local singer-songwriter Old Man River joins Daniel for “Fake Tales of Rock ‘n’ Roll,” just as he did at the Aussie shows.

The live@albertstudios EP will be available for digital download through iTunes on May 21.

Ed Kowalczyk Goes Solo For Aussie Tour

Ed Kowalczyk, the lead singer of Live, is heading out on his own for an acoustic tour of Australia.

Ed will play stripped back shows in some of the country’s most intimate venues this August. They promise to include highlights of his band’s career, from Live’s debut album Mental Jewelry to the monster hit Throwing Copper to their last album Songs from the Black Mountain.

I’ve seen Live play a couple of times, and they always put on such a great show. To hear these incredible songs standing on their own, stripped back and raw, should be something really special.

Tickets for the following dates go on sale on July 10.

9 August 2009 – The Tivoli, Brisbane
12 August 2009 – Octagon Theatre, Perth
15 August 2009 – The Forum, Melbourne
18 August 2009 – Norwood Concert Hall, Adelaide
19 August 2009 – Enmore Theatre, Sydney
