| On the live front, The Southern River Band are no doubt one of the hardest, rockin’ outfits in Australia, having sold out seven national tours, and sharing stages with the likes of The Darkness, Eagles of Death Metal, Cold Chisel, Jebediah, Wolfmother, Grinspoon, Amyl and the Sniffers and more… The four-piece outfit’s hard work is also proving to pay off overseas, after recently killing it on their 23-date UK/European tour, playing to full houses, thousands of festival-goers, and even performing in a Castle supporting The Darkness. Match-fit and ready to tear up stages across Australia in support of the new album, The Southern River Band are ready to do it all again. These shows are not to be missed. |
