Avalanche still going strong

Emily — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 03:08:52 +0000

British India, one of Melbourne’s hardest working indie bands, are STILL on the road, wowing audiences nationally. The boys tore up the stage in front of a highly adoring home town audience, sold out their Brisbane show, and rocked the socks of Adelaide fans, not to mention warmed up Canberra and Wagga punters last weekend.

British India shared the stage with Vampire Weekend, Silverchair, Empire of the Sun and Grinspoon at the Groovin the Moo festival as well as playing to a bunch of lucky screaming high school kids as part of Triple J’s Unearthed high competition. …And that’s just June!

July will see British India’s Avalanche tour hit Sydney, Newcastle and Tassie before the boys take a short, but well deserved break.

If you are having serious BI with drawl symptoms tune into Neighbours on Tuesday the 17th of August to see the boys perform and teach Ramsey Street residents all about garage rock!

Top 10 ARIA Chart debut for British India

Go you good thing! Congratulations to British India on their Top 10 debut in the National ARIA Album Charts despite Mother’s Day madness. Though just quietly, I think a lot of mothers would have been pretty damn disappointed to open their presents and find Susan Boyle, Mark Vincent, Andre Rieu or Michael Buble CDs instead of British India’s kickass Avalanche.

Seriously, nothing says “I love you, Mum” like a fiercely independent rock record by four nice, polite, young boys. Especially if you tell her it’s a must-have for all CD collections and widely acclaimed by people whose opinions matter way more than hers:

ALBUM OF THE WEEK in The Daily Telegraph, Herald Sun, Courier Mail, Adelaide Advertiser, Sunday Herald Sun, Canberra Times and more!

“Avalanche is a force to be reckoned with.”
Matthew Heath, The Canberra Times

“A great way to spend half an hour.”
Cameron Adams, Herald Sun

“This release affirms British India’s position as one of the most solid rock bands in Australia.”
Patrick Donovan, The Age

“Avalanche is on track to be one of the best rock albums of 2010″
Paul Capaloupo, The Music network

“Avalanche confirms that British India are one of the best bands of the modern era”
Jeff Jenkins, Inpress

“Bloody freakin’ awesome!”
Jade Pham, Shiny Entertainment

British India – Coming Like An Avalanche!

Some one, possibly God, once said that ’sex sells’. Here’s hoping they were right ’cause some one else just pointed out the headline for BRITISH INDIA’s new Avalanche Tour is mighty raunchy. That’s right Australia, British India are coming like an Avalanche!

The band’s new album hits stores April 30th, though, if you’re smart, you’ll pre-order it online through JB Hi-Fi to get the album + a special bonus Bootleg CD! If you’re even smarter, you’ll catch the band live on their national tour kicking off with Groovin’ The Moo festival in May and rolling ’round the country ’til June. See you at a gig soon!

British India Beneath The Satellites is a go!

Jade — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 01:19:34 +0000

British India went back on the road yesterday and we miss them already! The next two months are going to be awful lonely here with the band launching ‘Beneath The Satellites’ around the country with a few select DATES in cities and towns around Australia.

Who will drop into Shiny HQ to make sure we’re working and not playing lawn bowls across the street? Who will indulge my bazillion publicity demands and still say ‘thank you’? Who will give me email hugs when my heads about to explode from deadline-overload?

We miss the boys but you guys can have them for a little while. Though…bring them home in one piece or there’ll be trouble.

2010: The Year Of British India

Jupiter expands whatever he touches. In the New Year he’s already expanded my waistline or maybe that was the holiday feasting.

In 2010 Jupiter will oversee the release of British India’s new album entitled Avalanche on April 16th. From the tunes us lucky Shiny folk have heard Avalanche will be astronomical!!!

The first single ‘Beneath The Satellites’ will drop on iTunes on February 12th and the boys are celebrating with select single launches in March. Check out the newly announced gigs here.

The stars are on British India’s side, you should be too.
