Upcoming Australian Gigs/Tours by Australian Artists (Plug your bands)

[Tim Charles]

I know there was already a plug thread started, but I figured it would be good to combine that idea with one for announcing shows from any aussie bands not just people's own.


Feel free to post flyers, press releases, or just chat about any of the upcoming tours/shows and how great/bad you think they are going to be!

Welkin Entertainment Presents

BE’LAKOR
STONE’S REACH
AUSTRALIAN TOUR

A dark, melodic death metal band from Melbourne, BE’LAKOR has quickly come to be regarded as one of Australia’s more promising and creative metal acts.

Two years have passed since the independent release of their debut, The Frail Tide. In this time, the band’s international reputation has grown rapidly on the back of high acclaim from reviewers and a dedicated and ever-growing fan base. Drawing influences from the natural world and the perpetual struggle between destruction and life, Be’lakor creates songs that take the listener on a compelling journey. Their highly anticipated second album, Stone’s Reach, was released on June 20 through Prime Cuts Music/Riot and Be’lakor will be venturing across Australia for the first time, taking in performances in Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane & Sydney.

Of course man. Hope it goes off! If the amount of people attending on facebook event page is anything to go by it's looking to be a big success!

Thanks for the offer, but I've decided not to go. Got work the next day, and I'm already taking this coming Sunday off to recuperate from the Arthouse and the Espy gigs.

Hope you have a good time.

Er, four bands.
I missed most of the first band, Okera, but what I heard was pretty good, couple of long songs, midpaced with a nice groove throughout.
Second band, Woods of Suicide, a three piece, started off sounding like funeral doom with very slow, deep, noisy passages overlaid with harsh shrieks. Slowly (slowly..) built up, but funnily enough even when they seemed to have some fair speed going they still sounded quite slow. There was not a moment of silence from when they started to when they finished. All up, one of the more unusual bands I've heard live. Reminded me in parts of Judas Iscariot and Wolves of the Throne Room, not that they sounded a lot like either. Also reminded me of a very harsh, bleak black metal noise duo playing perhaps at the hifi (after Chalice and others) with video projected in the background; mostly I think I'm reminded of that purely because it was also rather unusual.
Arbrynth were third, they've got some great songs, I'm surprised I remembered them though from the half gig I've seen before - the raven, river's edge, the one with 'what have we become' (?). They also debuted a new song which was fantastic, loved the drumming and the female vox in the middle passage, though elsewhere they were almost inaudible.
Rainshadow closed the night with a much more mellow sound, clean vocals throughout. General room resonances became much more apparent though with a quieter sound; even then, it was really only on the song Ghosts that it was very noticeable. Cool cover of anathema near the end, and I can't remember if Storm was the closer or the penultimate song - either way, the last song went off and was a great ending to the set.

I've only been to the arthouse once before, a couple of months ago perhaps, and this time it seemed quite packed.
So a decent amount of variety and good bands all round, not to mention this one particularly hot chick ...

[Pethical]

sounds like i missed out

thanks for the review!

[Trows]

Pretty much.

You'll have to sort something up with Okera next time you boys are down here.

Willow: The "What have we become" song is pretty much being phased out from what I can tell, that might be the last time Arbrynth play it.

Rainshadow finished with 'Her Shadow'

[Willow of oz]

Thanks Trows.

[Oli-G]

Okera were bloody great, and had the venue at it's peak (the most packed I've seen the Arty), an awesome effort for first band up!

Anyone know how many payers there were for the Arty show on Friday? Sounds like it was a great success which is awesome!

I'm looking forward to checking out Okera at one of their future shows.
