MORE ABOUT THIS TOUR AND ARTIST:
With his third album Songs From The 86 Tram fresh on the shelves, The Bedroom Philosopher is teaming up with his partners in crime The Awkwardstra for a massive national album launch tour. The full band tour comes fresh off the back of TBP’s sell-out run of solo dates, both nationally and at the 2010 Melbourne International Comedy Festival. With good friends The Boat People, Pinky Beecroft and the White Russians, and more acts to boot - jumping on board for support (selected shows), make sure you’re not caught without a ticket when the tramily roles into town.
As The Bedroom Philosopher himself puts it; “my live show is both a remarkably memorable life changing experience and cause for major concern.” An onstage blitz of devil may care comedy poetics meeting something resembling intelligent and catchy eclecticism. The Awkwardstra were handpicked from 'Indie Snobs Anonymous', a self-help group for displaced Melbourne musicians (feat. members of Paradise Motel & The Brunettes) and provide pitch-perfect tightness to the Philosopher's helter skelter. Featuring sitar, electric and double percussion – gags and wordplays play second fiddle to breakbeat rockouts, folk-rock jamouts and jamfunk breakdowns with a pinch of earnestness and about five seconds of jazz. Think Captain Beefheart meets Flight of the Whoevers.
Released Tuesday June 15th, and featuring cameos from Tim Rogers, Kram, Angie Hart, DC Root and many more, the clip for lead single Northcote (So Hungover) is tearing up screens nationally. If you haven’t seen it yet, check it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxZiae16Ry8. The video has already been picked up by Channel V as their Ripe ‘Clip Of The Week’ and by Rage as ‘Indie Clip Of The Week’ w/c Monday June 21st.
Northcote (So Hungover) received rotation on triple J, FBI, Radar Radio and many more stations to boot. The 2nd single to be lifted from the album will be released in the coming months.
