The Boy & Bear Australian Tour 2014 has been announced.
Having just completed a national tour of Australia last month and only recently announcing a 32-date tour of Europe and America for February/March/April (including an appearance at SXSW 2014), Australia’s own Boy & Bear are thrilled to inform their fans of an extensive 30-date regional tour of Australia.
They’ll be kick starting in Mackay, QLD in mid-April, moving through the NT, WA, VIC and the ACT, finishing off in Dubbo, NSW at the end of May.
“This will be the most extensive regional tour the band has done and we are very much looking forward to it,” enthuses singer and songwriter Dave Hosking. “We love the idea of playing to new people in new and exciting parts of the country.”
Boy & Bear have already celebrated a #1 debut on the ARIA Album Chart and now their critically acclaimed second album, Harlequin Dream, is officially certified Gold in Australia, selling in excess of 35,000 copies since its release in August. Harlequin Dream is the follow-up album to the band’s platinum selling debut album, Moonfire and was co-produced by Boy & Bear and Wayne Connelly.
In other exciting news, Harlequin Dream has appeared at #7 on Triple J’s listener poll for the Best Albums of 2013 (making the five-piece the only Australian band to make the list).
The band have also unveiled the brand new video for single and album title track, ‘Harlequin Dream’, filmed by acclaimed director Kris Moyes (Sia, Beck, The Presets) on location in Palawan in The Philippines just 14 days prior to the devastating impact of Typhoon Haiyan.
The people and locations that were filmed are safe due to the surrounding mountains, but donations are still welcomed to help those whose lives have been affected.
Donations can be made via the following organisations: Unicef, Oxfam, Australian Red Cross, and Save The Children Australia.
