The Bravery tours Australia

With the full lineup announcement for the We Love Sounds Winter Festival expected this week, another of the 2008 tour’s headliners has been slipped (!!! were the other), with New York electro-rockers The Bravery set to feature. They’ll also take in sideshows along the east coast.

The Bravery initially broke through in 2005 with their crossover hit ‘An Honest Mistake’. The band were famously dissed in the press by Brandon Flowers, the notoriously outspoken frontman of The Killers, who claimed they were nothing more than a carbon copy of The Killers’ synth-rock sound.

This will be The Bravery’s second Australian tour, having not visited since 2005. In that time they’ve released two new albums, ‘The Sun And The Moon’ and remix LP ‘The Sun And The Moon Complete’, so there’ll be a stack of fresh material for them to debut to local crowds.

The Bravery headline show dates:

Thu 5th Jun – Melbourne, Corner Hotel
Fri 6th Jun – Sydney, Metro
Tue 10th Jun – Brisbane, The Zoo
