Augie March go Gold, and announce August tour
Augie March’s third album “Moo, You Bloody Choir” has achieved that rarest of doubles – universal critical acclaim AND a truckload of sales. It’s the first time the band have had a gold anything, and to celebrate, they are staging their Grandest Tour to date. Their last national tour sold out so far in advance it left an army of distraught fans praying there would be more announced soon. This time the band has booked some big ol’ theatres in which to fully sprawl out their neo-vintage sonic wonder. And invited a couple of very special international guests along for the ride.
The One Crowded Hour Tour will travel to theatres in major cities along the east coast in August. Tickets for all show go on sale on Thursday 15th June.
Moo, You Bloody Choir is still in the charts some three months after release, and has garnered a string of phenomenal reviews from critics and fans alike for their emotive live performances, plus the first J Award Nomination for 2006, an ARIA Top 10 album position, and much exposure from many and varied radio and television stations. Their song ‘One Crowded Hour’ has become The Feel Good Hit Of The Autumn and Winter and the band will be headlining the GW McLennan Theatre Stage at the sold-out Splendour In The Grass festival.
Very special guests on The One Crowded Tour are mesmerizing Appalachian-ish Texan songstress Jolie Holland returning after a triumphant 03 Australian tour, and UK folk-ish sensation David Ford, here for the very first time.
