Paolo Nutini returns to Australia
Some more news from the Frontier Touring office, Paolo Nutini is coming to tour Australia on a very short tour.
Performing shows only in Melbourne and Sydney, Scotland’s Paolo Nutini first hit the music scene at the tender age of 19, thanks to the release of his 2006 'These Streets' album. Selling in excess of two million albums worldwide, Paolo quickly established himself as one of this decade’s most intriguing young talents.
After touring Australia back in 2007, Paolo returns to Australia in support of his sophomore effort 'Sunny Side Up'. The album debuted at #1 on the UK chart and has remained in the Top 5 since it’s release. All Music Guide described the album as “one that leaves its generational competition in the dust and is wise beyond this songwriter's years…”
Paolo's shows tend to sell out within only a few minutes, so ensure you secure your tickets to see this exceptional singer/songwriter immediately to avoid disappointment.
Dates:
Oct 27 - The Forum, Melbourne VIC
Oct 30 - Enmore Theatre, Sydney NSW

Them Crooked Vultures coming to Australia?
To those that have been wishing that Them Crooked Vultures will make their way across the world to Australia, it looks like your dream might come true.
If you have a geez over at the Frontier Touring website, you'll notice a countdown clock with the band's logo.
Now nothing official has been announced yet, but we think this might be counting down towards that exciting announcement.
The super, fantasically, exciting team of Josh Homme, John Paul Jones and Dave Grohl have already been performing at some of the big festivals overseas and we have already marked this down as one of the best gigs of 2010.

Are Kaiser Chiefs pulling an Oasis?
Rumours have been circulating around the web that the Kaiser Chiefs are splitting. Well like most rumours, they're 'apparently' not true.
The Kaiser Cheifs dismissed speculation that their performances at last weekend's Reading and Leeds festivals would be their last,and said their diary is empty because they are going to take a well-earned holiday. Lead singer, Ricky Wilson defended his band and reinforced the truth of the matter.
"It's our last show for the foreseeable future, so it's a bit of an abyss. You think if it was our last one ever, we wouldn't be having a good time? I don't think bands split up when they're still good friends and having a good time with each other.
"We just haven't written anything new and we haven't booked anything. If people look at your diary and see you haven't booked anything, they think you're stopping. We've been on tour for five years and we want to spend some of our money on air travel!
"I never really saw the point of going on holiday before. but last week I was in Tel Aviv and went in the sea. I thought, Oh, I get it now, it's fun." Yes Ricky, the Dead Sea is fun for a bit, but then you get salt in your eyes and you can't see for hours and it no longer becomes fun. Sorry, just had a flashback.
Ricky insisted that the band just don't want to feel pressured to release something just for the sake of it alla Coldplay's 'X&Y' album.
So, when all is said and done, we tend to have to believe what Ricky says. However, just a week ago, Liam Gallagher pulled the plug on the V Festival gig stating that he was unwell with Viral Laryngitis, when in fact it was probably because Oasis were about to pull the plug on their band. Only time will tell.
