Patrick James Releases Stellar New Single “Up” Ahead of EP & Tour

With Patrick James’ new EP What We’re Fighting For set for release, there’s no better time to wrap your ears around his latest single, “Up.”

I’ve been following Patrick’s career for some time, and I think he’s getting better and better. This single is so polished, with mature lyrics and a great sound combining classic piano pop with modern electronic influences.

This single’s release has me counting down the days until the EP lands on March 8. Patrick will give us a little time to familiarise ourselves with his new material before heading off on an East Coast tour. Tickets are on sale now through his website.

Perth Powderchair Gig On, Up! Festival Off

Do you want the good news or the bad news first? Good news? Well here goes.

Last week we reported that Perth’s Across the Great Divide concerts were in doubt, after the council banned the events. Last night this decision was reversed, so the shows at Claremont Oval will go ahead as planned. This will undoubtedly please the 20,000 Powderfinger and Silverchair fans who bought tickets to the September shows.

The news isn’t so great for Michael Franti fans, as his Up! Festival has been postponed until next year.

The shows, featuring Spearhead, Ben Lee, Blue King Brown, and Old Man River, were scheduled for next month. But apparently Michael Franti’s band had other plans.

“There was a scheduling conflict and Spearhead was not able to make it out here. It has been put off until next year,” said Frontier Touring Company spokeswoman Suzanne Snape.

While Michael Franti and the boys should be back in Oz in 2008, Ben Lee fans won’t have to wait that long. The indie folkster plans to announce some solo tour dates soon.

Up! Festival ticket holders can obtain full refunds from their point of sale.
