JOSH PYKE ANNOUNCES REGIONAL TOUR BEFORE HANGING UP HIS BOOTS AT THE END OF THE YEAR
One of Australia’s favourite storytellers, Josh Pyke has today announced his 10 Years Of Memories & Dust regional tour of Australia alongside the news that he’ll be hanging up his ‘Josh Pyke boots’ and going on hiatus from the end of the year. To celebrate his illustrious career and to say ‘goodbye for now,’ he will embark on a massive regional tour of Australia in November and December, performing his album Memories & Dust in full, alongside a second set packed with fan favourites. Performing intimate shows, sans band, the tour will kick off on November 3 at the Byron Bay Brewery, moving through to Port Macquarie, Katoomba, Henley Beach, Norwood, Mackay, Townsville, Cairns, Belgrave, Ballarat, and finishing up at Theatre Royal in Castlemaine on December 10.
From his first appearance in the Hottest 100 with Middle of the Hill coming in at number 19 in 2005, to the 2017 release of his greatest hits album The Best of Josh Pyke + B Sides and Rarities, Josh Pyke has been a part of the Australian music landscape for more than a decade. Well-loved for his intricate storytelling, thoughtful folk pop arrangements and finely honed stage chops, Josh has released five studio albums, all of which have gained prestigious accolades and critical acclaim.
Thrilled to hit the road for an extensive run of shows before taking a well-deserved break, Josh says, “After I’ve wrapped up this year’s shows both here and abroad, I’ve decided to go on hiatus from touring my own stuff for a while. The last dozen years or so of touring have been wild and hugely rewarding, and now I’m keen to dig into some other creative projects. In the meantime, I can’t wait to play for you all for the rest of 2017!”
But it’s not over just yet, there’s still time to catch this true talent who has been a regular on the Australian live music scene. Josh will set off on his The Best of Josh Pyke Tour of Australia’s capital cities starting at Enmore Theatre Sydney on July 28 and finishing up at Wrest Point Casino Hobart on August 26, before hitting up regional audiences in November and December on his 10 Years Of Memories & Dust regional tour.

GRINSPOON’S 20TH ANNIVERSARY DELUXE EDITION OF ‘GUIDE TO BETTER LIVING’ IS OUT TODAY
Iconic Aussie rockers Grinspoon have today released their highly anticipated, 20th Anniversary deluxe edition of the album that propelled their careers into the stratosphere, Guide To Better Living. Fittingly, the release lands on the day they are set to kick off their upcoming national tour which is now almost completely sold out, as fans clamour to secure their tickets. Hockey Dad are already on board as main support for the epic tour, and today Grinspoon are chuffed to announce their additional supports My Echo, Good Boy, Royal Chant and The Dead Love who will be jumping on the road for a bunch of shows each.
Having just performed in the coveted slot at the State of Origin on Wednesday, Grinners are busier than ever – and their fans cannot get enough. Tickets to their Tivoli Theatre show sold out in just thirty minutes after going on sale, and now more than half the tour is sold out, with 20 of the 31 shows already certified sell-outs and very limited tickets are still available to all other shows.
To correspond with the tour, the accompanying expanded, multi-format reissue of Guide To Better Living is available from today. The Grinspoon-curated 20th Anniversary edition of Guide To Better Living sees the original 16-track album expand to a mammoth 49 track feast of rarities, live tracks and unreleased recordings. The album also appears on vinyl for the very first time in the form of a limited edition red vinyl pressing, coupling the original album with a second disc Live At CBGB’s – an incendiary 10-track live recording of the band taken from the fabled CBGB’s venue in New York.
Thrilled with the response to the reissue of the album and the hugely popular tour, frontman Phil Jamieson has a message for the album: “Happy 20th birthday GTBL! We are so proud you have grown up to be the album we imagined you’d become… it’s such a delight to see the people of Australia wanting to see you live and listen to you on vinyl. Never in our wildest dreams did we expect you to turn out so great – but you did. You must have had some awesome parents! All our love, GSPN.”
The Guide To Better Living Tour will see the band play the album cover to cover across June-September 2017, alongside a selection of later favourites from their albums that followed.
Grinspoon is Phil Jamieson on vocals, Pat Davern on guitar, Joe Hansen on bass and Kristian Hopes on drums.
Guide To Better Living Deluxe 20th Anniversary Edition is out now
The Guide To Better Living tour kicks off tonight at Kay St Entertainment Complex in Traralgon.

PETE MURRAY’S NEW ALBUM ‘CAMACHO’ IS OUT TODAY + BEN WRIGHT SMITH TO SUPPORT NATIONAL 33 DATE TOUR
Pete Murray is back with his charismatic charm and soothing vocals that sparkle in Camacho – Themusic.com.au
He traverses new territory here, adding some hip beats to his cruisy, sensitive sound – Stack Magazine
Murray concentrates on strong studio production to complement his tried and true warm, powerful vocals and familiar guitar riffs, with a result as captivating as it is catchy – Lunchbox TV
One of Australia’s most loved musicians with over one million record sales under his belt, Pete Murray has today released his sixth studio album, Camacho. After impressing with his beat-driven, anthemic single Take Me Down, Pete is back and Camacho has become one of the most hotly anticipated releases of the year, cleverly signposting a change of speed for Pete, as he delves into the world of old-school beats.
Tickets are moving fast for the upcoming 33-date national Camacho Tour that will kickstart in Lismore on July 12 and finish up in Darwin on September 9, with Ben Wright Smith announced to be joining Pete on the road for all shows.
Guaranteed to be lapped up by new and old fans alike, Camacho is a diverse, uplifting, emotive and powerful record from a seasoned songwriter who is unafraid to challenge himself with new and exciting sounds. Collaborations abound on this record, as Pete worked with the likes of hip-hop producer Trials (AB Original), Eric J Dubowsky, Tony Buchen (Montaigne, The Preatures, Bob Evans), Andrew Burford (Hilltop Hoods, Drapht, Allday) and ARIA winning producer Jon Hume (Matt Corby, Lisa Mitchell).
Handpicked by Pete, Ben Wright Smith will be joining the tour as main support, which is welcome news for the thousands of fans who have already got their hands on tickets. With Tanks Arts Centre in Cairns selling out in just a week, fans are encouraged to grab their tickets sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment.
Pumped to hit the road and play his new tunes for fans across Australia, Pete enthuses, “I don’t think I have ever been more excited about playing an album live than I am with Camacho. There isn’t one song that I don’t want to play off it. This is also a different flavour to what I have done before and I’m really looking forward to letting the Aussie crowds hear the difference. I’m also looking forward to taking the very talented Ben Wright Smith on the road with me. I have a feeling my fans will really love his music.”
The album Camacho is available from today.
