Rainy Day Women Tour “Ain’t It Time?”

Perth five-piece Rainy Day Women are hitting the road to celebrate the recent release of their second single “Ain’t It Time?”

This is a perfect slice of indie pop that should soon see you forgetting your workday blues. Who would have thought such an upbeat number could come from songwriter Dylan Ollivierre venting his frustration over an argument with a friend? It was recorded on a farm in south-west Western Australia, and I think that organic setting has seeped into this recording. It’s a little rough around the edges, but that spontaneity is infectious.

Rainy Day Women will kick off their “Ain’t It Time?” single launch tour with showcases at Big Sound before criss-crossing the country and back home again.

Rainy Day Women Celebrate Summer with Friends

Their name might be a bit gloomy, but the music from Fremantle four-piece Rainy Day Women is all about summer’s good vibes. Think The Beach Boys with a splash of Fleetwood Mac.

They showcase their positive garage pop tunes on their sophomore EP Friends, a six-track release which shows a more mature Rainy Day Women.

The EP won’t hit stores until February 21, but Rainy Day Women will give fans an early taste of the new tunes at Perth’s St. Jerome’s Laneway Festival next week. They’ll then launch the EP good and proper with the following shows in the major capitals.

9 February 2013 – St. Jerome’s Laneway Festival, Perth
8 March 2013 – Amplifier Bar, Perth
14 March 2013 – Black Bear Lodge, Brisbane
15 March 2013 – FBi Social, Sydney
16 March 2013 – The Workers Club, Melbourne
