the_ataris

The Ataris perform at Amplifier on Sunday 25 October 2009.

After a highly successful solo tour earlier in the year, Kris Roe and his boys have decided that it is time to bring the full band back to Australia for the first time since 2003.
Hot off the back of appearances on the 2009 Warped Tour in America and yet another highly successful South American tour, The Ataris are currently tucked away in their studio in the mid-west of America writing their sixth full-length album that will see them return to the sound that made waves of fans fall in love with them in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Supported by Stealing O’Neal and Grim Fandango

20090706-bycpkmhisr95x6yqqeqcwt48kp

Sydney girl Bertie Blackman has announced her national “Thump” tour following the recent release of her new album “Secrets and Lies”. She will be in Perth for two nights in August.

‘Secrets and Lies’ was launched with an album of the week feature on triple j and a hit single with the track Heart, one of the most downloaded singles of the week ever on iTunes, plus sold out shows in Melbourne and Sydney. Next month will see Bertie take the live show to the rest of the country as she releases her second single, ‘Thump’. Haunting vocals soar, industrial electronics collide and the track troughs into eerie breaths of quiet throughout. For Bertie Blackman, ‘Thump captures that feeling of walking home late at night; your footsteps hit the pavement and your whole body pulsates. You become really aware of your breath and heartbeat.’

Bertie Blackman will also be returning to Perth in September as part of the Parklife Festival.

Tickets will be $20 + bf and are available here!

28 August – Fly By Night
29 August – Amplifier Bar

Kate Miller-Heidke – 19, 20, 21 March 09

Saturday, January 24th, 2009

kate miller-heidkeKate Miller-Heidke returns to Perth and performs at Amplifier on Thursday 19 March, Players Bar Mandurah on 20 March and the Fly By Night in Fremantle on Saturday 21 March 2009.

Fearless. That was the word that kept coming up when Kate Miller-Heidke was dreaming up her second album. Fun was another one. The fact that she dared to dream either of them while her debut of ‘07, LITTLE EVE, was still ringing loud and clear suggests a couple more F-words. Forward. And Fast.
CURIOUSER radiates a newfound sense of mutual certainty from the first song. “The One Thing I Know” is an audacious mash-up of primal percussion, stomp box, ’80s synth squiggles, oddball sound effects and operatic interjections that sticks together into a seamless three minutes of timeless radio pop with enough glue left over to stick in any head in its path.

Tickets from Heatseeker for $20 + booking fee.

Grave – 2 December 08

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

Swedish death metal band Grave is coming to Perth on their first ever Australian tour, and will perform at Amplifier on Tuesday 2 December 2008.

GRAVE established themselves with their legendary debut “Into the Grave” and at release date in 1991, Century Media Records inked the album as one of Death Metal’s most brutal new hopes and its release ensued that by creating a sound and style which has been an inspiration for the whole genre.

Now the 8th Album “Dominion V111″ is released , showcasing Grave has lost nothing in terms of power , groove and aggression . Certain to please anyone into true old school death metal.

Tickets are $39.80 + booking fee from Moshtix.
