Lamb will launch their world tour in Australia next year, with sideshows announced in addition to their appearance at Playground Weekender. The tour comes ahead of the release of Lamb’s new album 5, their first in eight long years. That won’t drop until May 5, naturally, so it’s pretty exciting that we’ll get a sneak…
There are so many exciting musical acts winging their way to New South Wales’ capital for the annual Sydney Festival.

Mat McHugh has just returned to Oz after touring the United States solo with the John Butler Trio, and he’s wasted no time getting back together with his Beautiful Girls band mates. The band is kicking off a new tour in Sydney tonight to promote their new song “My Mind is an Echo Chamber.” The…
