The Mess Hall at Mojo's

Australias premier exponents of cinematic soundscapes and loose-limbed glam stomp, The Mess Hall are pleased to announce that they will embark upon a national tour, their first in support of their new and critically acclaimed album, For The Birds throughout March.

'For The Birds' is a record that sees The Mess Hall heading towards a new kind of beatnik soul that is very much their own. Every song is infused with a gritty kind of beauty, a surfeit of swing and sense of experimentation that is a natural progression from everything they achieved on their previous release, 'Devils Elbow' (winner of the Australian Music Prize in 2007). For The Birds sets the band apart as one who create their own world and fill it with narratives of the broken, the forgotten, the misunderstood, and very occasionally, the redeemed, and here those themes are refined and expanded upon. Keen wireless, television and internet aficionados will already be familiar with the fuzzed out funk of Bell (with its startling accompanying video featuring Minister Terry Durham) and the glockenspiel and guitar rollick of Tijuana 500 from the hit parade, and understand that this is a band setting their own agenda and marching to the beat of their own drum.

The band are delighted to be joined by two of Australias finest and most original bands, Bridezilla and Cabins, ensuring that the term get there early has never been more appropriate. 

With a line-up of such quality, The Mess Halls For The Birds March tour will be one of the tour events of 2010. Yes it will.
