Perth Music

Following on from their incredible recent performances at this year’s Fuji Rock and Splendour In The Grass festivals, The Vines are pleased to announce that they will be embarking upon their first full length national album tour in over four years this coming October and November in support of their brand new long-player, Melodia.

After their many well documented trials and tribulations, no one really had the right to expect to find The Vines in such rude health in 2008, but with the release of Melodia, the band have come full circle, recording their best album since ‘Highly Evolved‘ and playing the finest live shows of their career. Anyone who has witnessed the band’s incendiary sets at Splendour, Homebake or Big Day Out over the past two years will attest to the fact that as a live force they are now nigh on unstoppable.

With the first single He’s A Rocker having reacquainted the listening public with the trademark razor-sharp pop instincts that led to The Vines becoming one of Australia’s most recognisable and passionately supported bands, the band will be releasing the album’s scorching opener Get Out to coincide with the shows, a song that has immediately become a festival crowd favourite.
