Karnivool wake up the nation

Thu 16th Apr, 2009 in Local News

With new album Sound Awake due in May, Perth rock unit Karnivool will be piling into the tour van shortly after. Apart from a rollicking afternoon slot on the mainstage at Homebake last December, the band has been rather quiet on the tour circuit. This outing in June will be their first headline jaunt in over a year.

Naturally, frontman Ian Kenny has been rather busy with that other project Birds Of Tokyo, fitting in the studio sessions for Sound Awake wherever possible. Four years have passed since Karnivool’s debut Themata, but guitarist Drew Goddard promises the long gestation period has birthed “a second record that we are all proud of”. There’s little cause for worry that the shine has gone off their live show, either.

Karnivool’s Sound Awake tour makes the following stops. Tickets on sale Thursday 23 April.

Saturday, 20 June – Tivoli, Brisbane – over 18s only
Wednesday, 24 June – Metro Theatre, Sydney – over 18s only
Friday, 26 June – The Forum, Melbourne – over 18s only
Sunday, 28 June – HQ, Adelaide – over 18s only
Wednesday, 1 July – Metro, Fremantle – over 18s only

Can't wait to hear it. Themata was one of the big surprises for me in 2005. I'm hoping for a big epic expansion of that sound.

I was so happy all day yesterday after I heard this news. I really hope the new album lives up to expectations. Should be epic.

Definitely looking forward to this one. The new songs I've heard so far are definitely living up to expectations.

With a quote like this, I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't turn eighteen until November 2014.

stupid june 20... british india, karni and ross noble...

ross wins...

MorningAfterboy

MorningAfterboy said on the 19th Apr, 2009

Ross Noble is here all the time!
I think his arena tour is going to be a bit of a failure.

MountainGoat

MountainGoat said on the 19th Apr, 2009

theres only one way to find out...
i got pretty damn good seats for it too. i can see karni hitting the festival circuit soon enough.
i am possibly talking myself into thinking that ross is the right choice...

Lulz, you've been here like a week and you're acting as if you know anything.

I hate 3oh!3, sweetheart.
The way you went about making your point, however, was, quite simply, retarded.

And I really hope you get over your whole "all pop music is shit" phase one day. I did and I'm that much of a better person for it.

This bodes well for your future.

The majority of mainstream pop music is complete crap though. I can listen to Lady GaGa and cut a massive rug but at the end of the day I wouldn't for a minute be proud of listening to it.

You guys want to take a ride on her disco stick.

New song's up on their Myspace, and it's bloody awesome.

Downloaded it last night, but still haven't listened to it. Looking forward to checking it out.
