Philadelphia Grand Jury Ready for Recording Fundraiser Tour

It was a sad day for local music lovers when Philadelphia Grand Jury parted ways. Their single “Good News” was one of my favourite feel-good tracks for 2009. So I was thrilled to hear that Simon Berkfinger, Dan W Sweat, and MC Bad Genius have kissed and made up, and are ready to do it all again.

The Philly Jays are preparing to tour along the East Coast this month. If you’ve missed them, you’re going to want to get to these shows, not just to bask in the nostalgia but to give them the funds they need to record a follow-up to Hope is for Hopers. So dig deep folks and get yourself along to these reunion shows.

8 November 2014 – Ding Dong Lounge, Melbourne
12 November 2014 – Beach Road Hotel, Bondi (FREE)
13 November 2014 – Cambridge Hotel, Newcastle
14 November 2014 – Alhambra Lounge, Brisbane https://www.facebook.com/philadelphiagrandjury

Philadelphia Grand Jury Tour the World

Philadelphia Grand Jury are set for world domination as they plan a massive four-continent tour.

The Sydney band have been based in London since April. They’ve set up a studio there, and are currently recording songs for a single to be released back home in October.

It seems their investment in the country is beginning to pay dividends though. Their 7” vinyl single “The Good News” was released to critical acclaim earlier this year, and they’re hoping to capitalize on the buzz with the release of “Going to the Casino (Tomorrow Night)” on 7″ limited black vinyl and digital download on August 23.

The single release will see Philadelphia Grand Jury slogging it out at gigs across the United States, Australia, and South Africa, before they return to the UK for even more shows.
