House Vs Hurricane Announce Last Ever Shows
After sadly announcing their break up in June of this year, Aussie hardcore favourites and UNFD heroes House Vs Hurricane have unveiled the details of their final gigs, in a short farewell tour. The band will be playing three last-ever dates, an all ages show at TLC in Bayswater Victoria, an over 18s show at Bang Nightclub in Melbourne and a final show at Fowlers Live in Adelaide. House Vs Hurricane have released three records since their formation in 2005, the final album Crooked Teeth solidifying their place in the Australian heavy music scene. The record gained significant play on Triple J, garnered ARIA and Air Award nominations and debuted in the Top 20 on the 2012 Aria Charts. The record catapulted them onto the Big Day Out man stage earlier this year and saw them play slots at the Pyramid Rock and River Sessions festivals. Earlier this year the band also played the Slam Dunk Festival in the UK as well as shows in the territory. Catch House Vs Hurricane at their last ever shows in late November and early December

Louis London Australian Tour 2013 Announced
Courting fans and tastemakers since 2010, Louis London are ready to recruit new hearts across the nation with the release of their second EP The Big Deep on November 8 and a run of dates along the East Coast this November/December. The band’s history lies in the young rivalry of two bands, harmoniously lying down their musical weaponry to join powers and form Louis London. This combination of musical genres and ideas conceived their debut EP On Your Lips We Roared which became a solid introduction to the music scene. Taking them on the road the band grew their live show into a tightened beast, selling out their EP launch at Spectrum, the band went on to support an array of diversified Aussie talent from the likes of Hunting Grounds to Rüfüs. Now, the band are ready to take centre stage with their latest EP release, aptly titled The Big Deep, a culmination of energies, produced by both Lachlan Mitchell (The Jezabels) and Nathan Sheehy (Dune Rats) at Sydney’s Jungle Studios.
