Unguarded Moment Tour

Premier Artists & Code One Present
DEAD LETTER CHORUS
WAGONS
NED COLLETTE BAND


Joint Headline Tour

Three critically acclaimed musical forces unite to play shows across two weekends this July. Dead Letter Chorus, Wagons, and Ned Collette Band will be weaving their respective magic in a series of seven joint headline shows, incorporating Melbourne, Sydney and surrounding regional centres. There are no weak links on this bill...no sitting through crappy supports waiting for the headliner. Solid gold from start to finish. Come early and prepare for a quality night of Australian music.

The three bands have come together to record their own version of the Australian classic 'Unguarded Moment' by The Church. Keep your left ear near your closest wireless or log in to the bands' myspace pages to catch a listen and come see the guys performing it live at all the shows…The tune will only be available to purchase as a limited edition EP at the shows.

After a first year together that most bands dream about, including national tours and supports with Hawksley Workman, Andrew Bird, The Gin Club, Kate Miller-Heidke, Clare Bowditch and Whitley to name but a few, and work on the festival circuit including a headlining slot at last year's Newtown Festival, The Band have commenced work on their debut album. This is a process which has seen them build their own studio and refine over 20 songs for what will be a hotly anticipated release. Be sure to catch them pre-viewing their new material over July.

Wagons www.myspace.com/wagonsmusic

Having released their latest record The Curse of Lightning (Spunk!/EMI) to rave reviews late last year, Wagons have been busy travelling the country in 2008 with the likes of Okkervil River, Dave and Pete (Dallas Crane), John Hiatt and M. Ward. They have also completed two well-received headline tours of their own. A run of shows with Dave Graney is also slated to begin in August. The road-hardened Wagons are ready and raring to hit the stage once again and are in top form playing tunes form their new release as well as beginning to preview tracks from an upcoming release.

Ned Collette Band - www.myspace.com/nedcollette

Ned Collette Band is the one year old amplified project for that singer/songwriter from Melbourne . They will be playing mostly new material on this tour, previewing Ned's third album but their first as a whole band. They have toured up and down and around Australia , played Meredith and Queenscliff festivals, as well as various performances on radio and TV. Their new material swings wildly from the raw and loud to the minute and silent, focused always around Ned's lyrical flights. Last year Ned toured Europe and the States, and the band plans to head back over later in 2008.
