Last year we supported Nouvelle Vague and DJ $olal, and this year we have another musical treat. Lykke Li! We are pleased to support the Swedish songstress for her two headline shows on her first Australian tour, and give anyone that missed out on SOLD OUT festival tickets a chance to see the pretty lady. As well as appearances at the Falls Festivals across the country, Lykke Li will now play intimate sideshows at the Prince of Wales in Melbourne on January 4th and Oxford Art Factory in Sydney on January 5th. We have been secret fans of Lykke Li for some time now, so this is super exciting for us. frankie is officially pink with excitement!

The performance will mark Autism Awareness Week. The Rudies have been turning heads all over the world (they were the first rock band to play at the United Nations in New York) with their sing-a-long tunes. Head down on May 16 from 8pm to check them out.
A quick fill in the gaps with New Zealand sweetheart Finn from The Veils. They're touring from November 25, so for tickets details and dates head over to Oztix. if you're in Brissie or Moshtix if you're in Melbs or Sydders. Hello my name is Finn but my friends call me Finnius. I'm a skinny big mouthed jerk with a microphone. Some people say I sound like Eartha Kitt in a windtunnel. When visiting New Zealand make sure you don't miss seeing The Mint Chicks play live or taking every available opportunity to hassle our accent. If I had to say something nice about myself I'd say I give good praise. Don't ever ask me to plumb in a new shower fitting because I probably can't. Things I like most in this worldare Roy Orbison and David Foster Wallace and manatees. I'm touring soon so come and be merry. Sun Gangs is out now through Remote Control.
