After The Cruel Sea played a few killer shows throughout Easter, Tex Perkins is hitting the road again – this time just bringing his swag and acoustic guitar.
Joining Tex on his travels is good friend and former Cruel Sea cavalier James Cruickshank. Tex and James had some good laughs, some good stories and played some quality shows as they staggered around the country together in December last year. Not satisfied with just that tour, the boys are doing it all over again.
Tex Perkins is not one to take a break. In his spare time, he has just finished the recordings for his new studio album, being released through Universal Records this year. This latest recording has left Tex itching to hit the road again.
Tex’s perfect accomplice for his travels is James Cruickshank, who has a history of sharing the stage with Tex. Whilst also being an occasional Dark Horse, a regular Blackeyed Susan, and a honorary member of the Mick Harvey and Nick Barker clans. Last July James made a celebrated reappearance onto the music scene with his latest creation Hello Human to glowing national reviews.
Opening proceedings at all shows will be the trio of Mike Noga, Pat Bourke and Gus Agars. In between various commitments to their ‘other bands’ (The Drones, Dallas Crane and The Vandas) these three found a whole in their collective calendars last year and promptly formed a band, Mike Noga and The Gentlemen Of Fortune. On this tour however, the guys will be presenting songs from the quieter side of Mike Noga’s catalogue including cuts from his critically acclaimed ‘Folk Songs’ album and material from the soon to be released follow up ‘One Foul Swoop’.
So check out Tex and James as they make their way along the East Coast to play some classic quality tunes from their back catalogue…and possibly some new tracks too.
