FINAL AUSTRALIAN TOUR FOR 2011
BIRDS OF TOKYO: CLOSER

BAND BLOG

Hey peeps,

Alright, it's time to get up close and personal! We at Birds HQ are more than enthused to announce our last Australian tour for 2011: Closer throughout September/October.

Just as the warmer weather starts to roll around, this special run will be seeing us play in more intimate, sweaty venues and a lot of places that we haven't touched on for quite some time... so we can all feel nice and close!

As we're about to bunker down and spend some good quality time in the studio (excitement!) with our heads down and tail feathers up, this will be the last chance to see us play for the year.

We plan to preview some of the new material we've been working on at the upcoming shows so be sure to keep an ear out. We can't wait for y'all to hear the start of the next phase but more on that later!

And as a treasured fanclub member, be on the lookout for an exclusive special pre-sale ticket offer sent to you on Wednesday 13th July which will be available only to people who have joined the club before this date.

It's been a continual hell of a ride with the 'Birds of Tokyo' album and we're looking forward to giving a shout out to you all to bookend this chapter of sorts very soon.

Adios por ahora

NATIONAL SEPT/OCT TOUR ANNOUNCE

It's been a monster year for Birds of Tokyo ... an album that's nearly certified double platinum, multiple APRA Award nominations, a huge showing in Triple J's Hottest 100 and an ARIA Award for Australia's Best Rock Album.

Now the Birds are bringing it all to a close with the announcement of their last run of local gigs before heading into the studio for the summer.

Birds of Tokyo: Closer will take the band full circle. In an unusual move, rather than playing enormo-domes they will instead return to the rock clubs in which they cut their teeth over the years prior to the release of their current hit album.

Hence the name of the tour ... Birds of Tokyo: Closer.

The band has recently been working on new songs and they are expected to roadtest a few of them for the first time at these upcoming shows. The complete dates and venues for Birds of Tokyo: Closer are as follows.

It is important to note that no extra shows will be added to this tour so fans are advised to get in quick.

STAY TUNED FOR AN EXCLUSIVE FAN-CLUB TICKET PRE-SALE OFFER COMING TO YOUR INBOX ON WEDNESDAY 13TH JULY.
