Timothy Nelson Announces Final 2011 Shows

2011 is almost done and dusted, but Timothy Nelson has announced he’ll play a few more shows before the year is through. It’s been a big one for this Western Australian singer-songwriter. He released his first full length album, the sublime I Know This Now, and won the WAM Song of the Year grand prize for “Speak the Truth in Love.”

The new run of dates will see Timothy playing solo with a string quartet for hometown fans at The Ellington, giving Melbourne a rare show, and rejoining his Infidels band mates for New Years Eve.

Catch Timothy Nelson for the last time this year at the following venues.

18 November 2011 – The Ellington, Perth
26 November 2011 – Pure Pop Records, Melbourne
31 November 2011 – Amplifier, Perth

Timothy Nelson and the Infidels Release Long Awaited Album

After wowing us with the singles “You Don’t Know What You’re Waiting For” and “Nothing’s in Tune,” Timothy Nelson and the Infidels have finally released their debut album.

It’s called I Know This Now, a title which might just refer to the self confidence that comes from 18 months of near relentless gigging, both as headliners and the support act for Eskimo Joe, Birds of Tokyo, Hoodoo Gurus, and more.

The album was recorded in various studios around Perth over the last two years. How refreshing to see an act taking their time with a release rather than just cranking it out. Given the time it’s had to marinate, and the quality of those acoustic folk singles, I’m expecting something pretty special from I Know This Now.

Timothy Nelson and the Infidels will launch the album for their home state at The Rosemount Hotel on June 25. I hear that interstate dates are on their way too, which is pretty exciting for the rest of the country!
