CARNATION with THE PINHOLES - 2010 SINGAPORE TOUR

Carnation took the Australian music scene by storm in the early 2007 with a muscular sound that combines elementsloveof the Madchester sound (Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, Inspiral Carpets and Oasis) with spacey, groove based psychedelia (the Doors). Their self-titled EP has been widely praised Australia-wide. Its first single 'Gone' and its accompanying video are currently on heavy rotation on local Australian radio and TV.

As part of a fledgling grass-roots initiative between Australia and South-East Asia, Melbourne 5-piece Carnation are set to embark on a 5-show tour of Singapore starting on the 25th of August. Carnation will be supported by popular Singapore act, The Pinholes.

The dates are as follows:

27 Aug 2010 9:00pm 'Home Club' @ 'The Riverwalk’
28 Aug 2010 9:00pm ’Blue Jazz’
29 Aug 2010 9:00pm ’Arthouse’
2 Sep 2010 9:00pm ’Prince Of Wales’

Hi guys, we can't wait to get to Singapore and tour with The Pinholes! Hope to see you at the shows listed above.

Here's a recent promo for the tour from the Melbourne music media:

CARNATON SINGAPORE TOUR​

AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2010​

​

Australia’s very own Carnation will be touring Singapore for a six show stretch in late August with Singapore’s favourite band, The Pinholes. Having just released their 2010 EP – 12.21.12 – Carnation are taking their intense psychedelic live show to international shores for the very first time.

With the EP’s first single - Gone - receiving great critical and commercial acclaim, Carnation has been a radio and television regular in Australia. Routinely playing to packed audiences in Australia’s biggest cities, as well as their home town of Melbourne, the band now become a fully-fledged international touring outfit at the invitation of the highly successful local group, The Pinholes.

Forming in 2007, Carnation has become a household name in Australia. Renowned for wowing audiences with their unique sound and raw live displays, the Melbourne quintet released their first EP in 2008 and have been touring the country non-stop ever since. Featuring roaring duelling guitars, rumbling bass and an animalistic percussionist, the icing on the cake is the accompanying baritone, steadying the ship and taking the listener on a mind-bending journey from start to finish.

The 12.21.12 EP showcases the band at its very best. With five tracks of blistering rock’n’roll and consciousness-altering psychedelia, it’s easy to see why Carnation have become such a vital component of the thriving Australian independent music scene.

Don’t miss this incredibly rare opportunity to witness one of Australia’s hottest bands and Singapore’s undisputed rock’n’roll kings in the flesh, purveyors of all things psychedelic and mystical, Carnation and The Pinholes.
