Augie March have announced their first headline show in five years, returning to the stage for a one-off special concert for hometown fans in Melbourne.
Following on from confirming that they’d exited their long-held hiatus, complete with the announcement of their first new album in half-a-decade, Augie March now confirm their first show in just as long, for this October.
The group played their virgin gig at a friend’s art exhibition at an art gallery in Brunswick way back in 1995, now nearly 19 years later they play just a few streets from their first show, in Dawson Street at Brunswick’s coveted venue Howler on Wednesday 29th October (selling out in less than 12 hours) and Thursday 30th October. Tickets on sale now.

The band – singer-songwriter Glenn Richards, guitarist Adam Donovan, drummer David Williams, bassist Edmondo Ammendola, and keyboardist Kiernan Box – will perform a special headline show that will draw from their highly acclaimed catalogue. Namely, selections from near-Gold status selling debut Sunset Studies (2000), Strange Bird (2002), Watch Me Disappear (2008), and 2006′s platinum-selling, AMP Award-winning Moo, You Bloody Choir.
They’ll also be showcasing material from their as-yet-untitled forthcoming new album, including the rich yet rustic new single ‘After The Crack Up‘, all “lilting melodies coursing through rich yet rustic instrumental backings and Richards’ trademark literary references (the song is named after F. Scott Fitzgerald’s confessionals) which skewer concepts of male heroism, and its failure. Complete with a high-brow reading of Henry Lawson’s poetry.”
Don’t miss your chance to catch one of Australia’s most beloved bands as they return to the stage.
