Q&A with Jeremy Wright of The Sundance Kids

The Sundance Kids are a band on the brink, earning rave reviews for their shows with End of Fashion and Evermore and preparing to release their debut album Fall Into Place in August. Bass guitarist Jeremy Wright took some time out from the tour to chat to me about the band’s wild ride.

You’re on the road with End of Fashion and Evermore at the moment. Are you excited about the shows?
Yeah, definitely. These are two amazing bands and we’re excited to share the stage with them every night! We’ve been cooped up in the rehearsal studio for months so we’re excited to be getting out and on the road!

What can music fans expect from your set?
We put a lot of ourselves into our performance. It’s pretty dynamic. Our main aim is to connect with people. And a little bit of crowd participation.

How do you win over people who may have come to your shows to see the other bands on the bill?
We like to hang out after shows and meet as many people as we can. So make sure you come and say hi!

This tour is massive. Where are you looking forward to visiting?
This week we’re looking forward to visiting the Big Pineapple. Actually, we’re keen to be anywhere that’s not flooded! The last two days of driving have been hectic, dodging flooded roads, missing bridges and fallen trees. But that just shows our dedication to the rock and roll cause!

Avalon Drive and The Sundance Kids’ Double Act

Two of Australia’s hottest upcoming indie acts are teaming up for one massive residency tour! Avalon Drive and The Sundance Kids will play shows in Melbourne, Sydney, and Adelaide through August and September.

There’s a whole lot of hype surrounding both these bands, and with good reason. Brisbane’s Avalon Drive has just scored a record deal with SonyBMG, and they plan to release their debut EP later this year. They’ve also scored gigs alongside some of the biggest bands in the world including INXS, All American Rejects, Fall Out Boy, Hoobastank, Yellowcard, and The Veronicas. MTV called Avalon Drive a “band you want to see live,” and these residencies give you that chance.

The Sundance Kids are set to unleash their indie/pop/rock anthems on the nation with the release of their debut album in August. Time Off Magazine calls them “one of the premier rock acts in SA,” and their ardent fanbase would tend to agree.

Avalon Drive and The Sundance Kids will toss a coin for the Sydney and Melbourne shows to decide the night’s lineup, which should keep things spontaneous for the bands and the punters. See these hot new artists and some very special guests at the following shows.
