Sincerely, Grizzly Announce New Single, 2014 Tour Dates
Adelaide’s literate, passionate Sincerely, Grizzly have released ‘Kafkaesque’, the second track from their highly anticipated forthcoming debut album Halves (due in 2014), and announced a handful of tour dates to launch the single. The nine-minute epic (listen/download here) has been a staple and fan favourite of the trio’s live show for some time, and the recorded version finally captures the ambitious, angular epic on record – equally tumultuous, exciting, schizophrenic and emotionally formidable. Just like Sincerely, Grizzly’s live show and its “tight, pounding punctuations and shifting moods [that ]go straight for the wiry 90s alt-rock jugular,” as our Tone Deaf reviewer has proclaimed.
March 22 | Rhino Room, Adelaide
w/ Ceres, The Rocketeers & The Storm Will Cover Our Tracks
March 28 | The Reverence, Melbourne
w/ Ceres, The Wrecks & Have/Hold
April 4 | Blackwire Records, Sydney

Darren Hanlon Australian Tour 2014 Announced
Darren Hanlon, Australia’s ever-traveling folk minstrel, will return to Australia this March after an all-stops adventure of the American southern states (Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas) looking for the heart and soul of his forthcoming album. The album, which Hanlon wrote on trains and busses and in basements throughout, ended up being recorded in five different studios with an extensive cast of musicians, consisting of some world-renowned history-making players (Spooner Oldham, David Hood, Howard Grimes) and random people he just met on the street, resulting in a 12-song suite. Hanlon is presenting five shows throughout Victoria, New South Wales and Australian Capital Territory in intimate spaces to preview the album before its slated release in May, with support from USA artists Micah Hulscher, Adam Selzer, and Shelley Short.
