MAMMAL ANNOUNCE CHRISTMAS SHOWS IN BRISBANE, SYDNEY AND MELBOURNE
After their blistering first performance in 8 years, MAMMAL has announced a string of shows in December, hoping to quench the awakened thirst for the band from old and new fans alike. MAMMAL is gearing up for a wild weekend of shows, kicking off in Brisbane on December 21 at The Zoo, moving through Sydney at the Factory Theatre on December 22 and wrapping up in Melbourne on December 23 at the iconic Corner Hotel.
MAMMAL’s triumphant return was legendary from the moment it was announced; selling out Melbourne’s massive Max Watts in less than 2 hours, and now that the reviews are in, punters will know for sure what an enormous ride they’re in for.
Thrilled to be back on the road, lead vocalist Ezekiel Ox enthuses, “Last Friday night in Melbourne was a reminder to the world that rock and roll thrives on ideas, energy and a healthy dose of showbiz, not click-tracks, drum edits and auto-tune. The MML reunion part is officially over, we’re getting on with the job for the fans now, new show, new music, new momentum. Keep your ears pricked and your eyes open, Mammal is back and fucking dangerous.”
Judging from the fan response to the first reunion, tickets to MAMMAL’s December run will not last long – this is a tour not to be missed. Three shows only.
Mammal is Ezekiel Ox (vocals), Pete Williamson (guitar), Nick Adams (bass) and Zane Rosanoski (drums).

“Mammal are back, and judging by their set this night, it’s like they’ve never gone away. They slot back into their nuclear-strength groove… the fire that ignites this band is burning as strong as ever. It’s just a case of the pilot-light having gone out, and it needed to be re-lit. And it has, and we the fans are the ecstatic beneficiaries of its warmth.” – TheMusic.com.au

EVANESCENCE ANNOUNCE AUSTRALIAN TOUR: SYNTHESIS LIVE NEW ALBUM SYNTHESIS – OUT NOVEMBER 10
Two-time GRAMMY award-winners Evanescence have today announced an Australian east coast tour Synthesis Live With Orchestras – presented by TEG Live and Sony Music Entertainment – to celebrate the band’s fourth studio album Synthesis, out November 10.
Set to deliver a truly transcendent experience, Synthesis Live will see the band collaborate with world class Australian symphony orchestras alongside electronic programming. As part of the global Synthesis Live tour, the Australian dates will kick off at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra on 11 February, moving on to the Sydney Opera House for two performances with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra on 13 and 14 February, before culminating in Melbourne at Rod Laver Arena with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra on 16 February.
“I’m really looking forward to bringing this new and different show to Australia,” says Amy Lee, “Playing the Sydney Opera House is something I’ve dreamed about all my life. I remember taking the ferry over to Manly during days off on past tours with the band, and looking over at the legendary structure, saying ‘One day, we’re going to play there!’ I can’t believe it’s finally going to be a reality. We’re all very excited about it.”
Not simply a ‘greatest hits’ album, Synthesis takes a selection of Evanescence’s three previous studio releases along with two new songs, and reimagines them with brand-new recordings. Synthesis is an amalgamation of Amy Lee’s masterful singing and piano playing, supported by her band, a full symphony orchestra performing arrangements by long-time collaborator David Campbell as well as an array of electronic music programming and effects.
As their evolution continues, the band is excited to bring Synthesis Live to Australia, performing the record start-to-finish with the expertise and skill of the country’s finest Symphony orchestras for each show. “The recording is very much tied to the live experience we want to create,” says Lee. “I’m anxiously excited to play some much more involved, challenging piano for the show, and to focus on singing live more like the way I do in the studio.”
Australia holds a huge fan base for Evanescence with the band having in excess of 700,000 ARIA accredited album sales over their career so far.
Evanescence is lead singer-songwriter and pianist Amy Lee, bassist Tim McCord, drummer Will Hunt, lead guitarist/backing vocalist Troy McLawhorn and guitarist Jen Majura.
Synthesis will be released on November 10.

PETE MURRAY DROPS NEW VIDEO FOR ‘CONNECTED’ + A DAY ON THE GREEN NATIONAL SHOWS
After wowing fans on his epic 33 date national tour that wound up in Darwin on the weekend, beloved Aussie songwriter Pete Murray has dropped a heartwarming video for his song Connected, a video tour diary and a gift for the dedicated fans who sold out Pete’s shows across the country. Never one to sit still, Pete has also just announced a run of shows for A Day On The Green alongside James Blunt, kicking off on March 10 at Bimbadgen Winery in New South Wales, then moving through Queensland, Victoria, and finishing up at Kings Park in Western Australia on March 20 next year.
Connected gives fans an exclusive look at what a national tour looks like from the artist’s perspective. Tranquil soundchecks, packed shows and backstage singalongs are all a part of life for Pete, and he takes it all in his stride in this effective clip for an album favourite. Connected, a sweet, groove-based ballad, sits well with the positive vibes in this video and is a fantastic example of the exquisite songwriting on show on Camacho, Pete’s latest album that debuted at #3 on the ARIA charts. Still buzzing from a hugely successful run of shows, Pete says, “I have had so much fun on the Camacho album tour, playing the new tracks to fans has been so rewarding, meeting everyone on the tour has been inspiring and I have had a blast. Whilst on the road we filmed a couple of shows and pulled this video together for Connected, a song very close to my heart and one of my favourites from the album. I hope you like it.”
For the fans who missed out on tickets to the Camacho tour, Pete is excited to announce that he’ll be back on the road in March alongside James Blunt, Busby Marou and Karise Eden for A Day On The Green.
Camacho was released on June 2 and is available to order from www.petemurray.com.
“Murray is exactly what you expect on stage, his live performance is a perfect translation of his recorded sound and he’s passionate about everything he does. He’s sultry, sexy and jazzy all at the same time. Additionally, Murray interacts well with his audiences, you’re not let down by his quips and witty responses to calls from the crowd…If you have a taste for Pete Murray’s casually cool and charming sound, take the time to check him out live—you will not be disappointed.” – GLAM ADELAIDE
“Maybe the mighty Murray is the Camacho man? His career has certainly been a triumph…(he’s) managed to connect with the masses, selling more than one million records. He traverses new territory here, adding some hip beats to his cruisy, sensitive sound. “It’s been such a long ride,” he sings. And it ain’t over yet.” – STACK MAGAZINE (JB HIFI)
