Augie March return to Perth to perform at the Regal Theatre on Monday 3 November 2008.
Augie March have spent the past 18 months or so variously writing and recording a new album, touring North America repeatedly, supporting the mighty Crowded House on their comeback run, playing the odd festival show and continuing to receive high praise for their previous long-player, amongst other things. However, one thing they have not done in that time is undertake a proper headline tour of their homeland. Much to the palpable joy of their ardent army of fans, that is a situation that is now rectified.
Melbourne raconteur Dan Kelly will be joining Augie March with his band The Ukeladies.
Tickets on sale 11 September from Ticketek for $49.00
