Hamish Anderson Returns Home

It takes a special someone to score the support slot for a legend like BB King. Someone like Melbourne born guitarist and songwriter Hamish Anderson.

Before he warms up the stage for BB, Hamish will be back on home soil to support the release of his swampy, sexy new single “Burn” and his new EP Restless, which hits stores on November 7. Hamish said he “wanted the recording to capture the sound, to be like a Polaroid. Imperfections and all.” And isn’t that refreshing in this day of autotune?

Hamish is basing himself in the U.S. now, so this is a rare chance to see this Australian-born talent performing. Tickets are on sale now for the following shows.

13 November 2014 – Ding Dong Lounge, Melbourne
20 November 2014 – Side Bar @ Cambridge Hotel, Newcastle
21 November 2014 – Oaf Sydney, Sydney
26 November 2014 – The Bearded Lady, Brisbane (FREE)

Amy Meredith On The Road Again

Amy Meredith are giving us another taste of their debut album Restless with the upcoming launch of second single “Lying.” To coincide with its release on April 23, the Sydney band will play a string of new shows later this month.

Clearly the lads enjoy being on stage, as they only just wrapped up their tour with Stereophonics last night! Such a busy schedule bodes well for the five-piece who’ll release their debut album Restless on June 4.

Initial reactions to Lying have been incredibly positive, with DJs around the country making it one of the top 10 most added songs for radio for the last two weeks running.

Fans can get their hands on an autographed CD single by preordering before its official release on April 23. Just SMS “LYING,” your name and address to 193123. The SMS costs $5.55 including the cost of the CD.
