SYDNEY: Friday 29 May

Augie are thrilled to announce that the Sunset Studies 20th Anniversary show will now be travelling to Sydney also, May 29 at the City Recital Hall. After Melbourne, Sydney was the town we took SS to most often way back when and we still get the same feeling of excitement and belonging whenever we head up the Hume. We are also very close to securing shows in two other cities and will be forthcoming with details on those asap.

Having never played the album in its entirety we are both nervous and excited about getting this sprawling, diverse piece of work into shape for what will assuredly be some very unique, moving and, horror or horrors, nostalgic experiences. The challenge presented by Sunset Studies became the template for ourselves as a band in the studio and on stage, and for what our audience came to expect from us. A great melodic charm bracelet binding the years, laden with distinct keys, locks, foolish baubles and rare stones. Always just hanging together no matter how corroded the links or how many times it was cast into the void.

Find it again and wear it folks, it deserves a big night out. Sydney pre-sale will commence on Friday 14 February. A pre-sale code will be sent through in due course.
