Gyroscope Some of the Places I Know Tour On Sale 11th Feb

Finished
From $27.90
Bookings & Enquiries:
This event has now passed
To succeed, you first need a solid foundation on which everything can be built. Few in music have set a foundation as strong as Gyroscope. The Perth quartet formed in their teens and has built an enormous fan base over the past ten years with three studio album releases and relentless touring. They have shown that while nothing in music can be foretold, the right foundation makes anything possible. From this base shoots their fourth studio album COHESION, a record with enough power to rock even the strongest stadium foundations.

COHESION came to life in late 2009 in the aptly named Rockfield, a picturesque town in Wales. The legendary Gil Norton (Foo Fighters, The Pixies, Eskimo Joe) stepped in as Producer at large and a mutual respect of talent soon turned into the most rewarding recording experience of Gyroscope?s career. This is heard loud and clear in COHESION, an album demanding to pick up where 2008?s ARIA #1 album ?Breed Obsession? left off.

The result is wonderful shades of light and dark, of pounding energy and delicate emotion, there?s an honesty that shines through. It?s the same musical honesty ? another vital foundation ? the four have built on since starting out in their teens. Killer hooks and honest, assured song writing is laced with infectious energy and enthusiasm ? a reflection of the band?s studio time. Meanwhile, singer-guitarist Dan Sanders tapped into a powerful simplicity behind the mic, inspired by heroes like Kurt Cobain and his single-tracked vocals to Paul Simon and his delicate emoting.

The first official single ?Some Of The Places I Know? will be unleashed on radio on Monday 1 February. ?Some Of The Places I Know? was written in honour of the sweltering Perth summer in which lead guitarist Zoran Trivic came up with the melody on piano and the song?s wide-open and carefree vibe is harnessed by Sanders? rhythmic vocals. It is an epic rock track complete with the trademark Gyroscope killer hook; this single is the perfect first taste of an album that screams self-assured enthusiasm.

?People have seen Gyroscope can do a lot of different stuff, so we wanted to knock it home with what we can do live,? says Sanders. ?We?re a live band; that?s where we started. Cohesion isn?t heavy and crazy, but it?s more purposely built for touring. Someone will hopefully listen from beginning to end and say, ?I can close my eyes and pretend it?s those guys playing the songs.?

It?s no time to pretend. Gyroscope is set to shake the foundations on the ?Some Of The Places I Know? national tour in March, with tickets on sale Thursday 11 February. To jump the queue and be eligible for pre sale tickets and album pre order bundles, head to www.gyroscope.com.au before 5.00pm on Monday 1 February and sign up to the mailing list. Fans that purchase a ticket will also have the opportunity to pre-order the new album COHESION and be one of the first in Australia to receive a copy. Album pre-sale and ticket pre-sales will commence Thursday 4 February. Fans will receive an email containing the pre sale details.
