We have tipped the scale of obesity this year, with the Fat as Butter festival adding a dangerously high calorie count of three Shiny bands to their menu! Calling all Cars, British India & Owl Eyes will be joining the ranks with acts such as Empire of the Sun, Sparkadia, The Living End to take on The Foreshore, Newcastle on Saturday 22^nd October. We anticipate that this three course Shiny indulgence is going to have you bloated with excitement, so you best get busy buying your tickets stat!

The Western inspired artwork for the forthcoming Calling all Cars album ‘Dancing with a Dead Man’ is the perfect accompaniment for the timely, quick draw release after their debut album ‘Hold, Hold Fire’. With their first single ‘Reptile’ already heating up, the group of vigilantes will take vengeance on insomnia, armed with their next bullet in the barrell in the form of their appropriately titled single ‘No Sleep’ .

Locked and loaded, ‘Dancing with a Dead Man’ will land on August 5th, followed by the  tour beginning on August 11th with support from Shiny Brother in arms -  Box in a Box and Melbourne locals, Redcoats. Best strap on those spurs, as this group of Outlaws will be taking to the highway, setting up camp in Traralgon and travelling all the way through to Scarborough, view the tour details HERE.

In other news, Triple J’s ‘Like a Version’ has been Shiny friendly of late, with a lush performance by our very own Owl Eyes covering Foster the People’s ‘Pumped up Kicks’, and most recently, Calling all Cars taking on a cover of the Arctic Monkey’s ‘Don’t Sit Down Cause I Moved Your Chair’. The normally hard and heavy band of three, showcased a softer side with an acoustic performance of their recent single ‘Reptile’ – You can listen to both performance’s HERE.
