The
Flatliners show is postponing and will be rescheduled for 2021, exact
date not announced as yet. Your
tickets will be transferred to the new date automatically unless
you request a refund, which you can do at any time. Once the
rescheduled date is announced, we will let you know the new date, and
you will still have
one more opportunity at that time to request a refund if you cannot
make the new date.
[5/11/20] The band wanted to pass on this
message: "Sadly,
but not surprisingly, we’re cancelling our upcoming west coast
Cavalcade tour dates planned for later this month. We were trying our
best to find an appropriate time to reschedule the dates to, but for
now we feel it’s best to allow our fans to get their money back from
their original point of purchase. Wishing you and health and safety,
and we’ll keep you posted on a new plan for these dates at some point
in 2021."
However, a new date for this show in 2021 has indeed been confirmed
already, although the date cannot be announced yet. Therefore, you are
certainly more than welcome to hold on to your current tickets.
[update
as of 11/18/2020] :::: The show will now take place in 2022,
not 2021.

-from Toronto, Ontario, Canada -The
Flatliners’ career is a testament to
perseverance and dedication. With a line-up that has never strayed from
the original members who met as teenagers, the band has since logged
countless miles on the road and amassed a dedicated legion of fans
along the way.
Now approaching 15 years of hammering out bombastic tunes everywhere
from dive bars to festival stages to European concert halls, The
Flatliners hold fast to the DIY punk-rock ethos that has been at the
group’s core since the beginning. The band came out swinging with
youthful exuberance on their debut record, Destroy To Create, in 2005,
and they’ve honed their anthemic style with each subsequent release:
The Great Awake in 2007, Cavalcade in 2010, Dead Language in 2013 and
Division of Spoils in 2015.
But frenetic touring schedules and prolific recording output takes its
toll, and The Flatliners decided to spend the majority of 2015 off the
road to recharge and reconnect with friends and family. Striking a
balance between home and road life is a difficult task, but frontman
and guitarist Chris Cresswell concedes that it’s necessary.
“That’s what we’ve been in search of for probably the last seven years.
We noticed it in ourselves, and that’s what we’re really striving for
now,” he says. “We have a lot of people in our lives that are super
supportive of what we do, and we’re supportive of each other.”
The band may have opted for more downtime, but there was still plenty
going on behind the scenes. Early in 2015, the guys found themselves
without the familiarity of the jam space they had inhabited for nearly
a decade—four walls that had been the incubator for hundreds of songs
and uninhibited creativity. Several months were spent renting rooms
wherever they were available before the band was able to settle into a
new space, but the group did their best not to let the upheaval hinder
their burgeoning roster of new material. Borne out of that chaos was
Nerves, a two-song EP released in October 2016 that also marked the
band’s first recording on Dine Alone Records.
The recording serves as a taste of what eager fans can expect to hear
on The Flatliners’ new album, Inviting Light, set to be released on
April 7, 2017. The band has been working hard to refine its
unmistakable style, ensuring they don’t lose sight of their roots while
continuing to move forward.
“Inviting Light is about trying to keep up with life around you but
also wading through the potential bullshit of people thinking that a
digital landscape is more important than their friends,” Cresswell
explains. “It’s inevitable that you’re fighting for people’s attention
now, whether you’re a band or an individual, and there’s not as much
value placed on face-to-face human interaction as there is in elevating
the profile.”
Meaningful interaction may be more difficult to achieve these days, but
the group’s steadfast members continue to build on the enduring
connection that brought them together all those years ago, celebrating
one another’s personal milestones and weathering each new experience as
a unit.
“It feels like we’re onto something,” Cresswell adds. “It’s exciting
for a band to be 15 years into their existence and have this. It’s a
refreshing thing.”
Dune
Rats DANNY
BRETT
BC
-from Brisbane, Australia -At a
time when true rock tales are as rare
as chicken lips, Dune Rats are traveling the globe as punk rock pied
pipers, attracting an army of ferocious life enthusiasts who are as
willing as they are to throw the dice, turn reality sideways and roll
with whatever goes. Ratbags, nerds, delinquents, outcasts, the brave,
the loud, the shy - Dune Rats don’t care who or what you are, only that
you abide by just one rule – no kooks, no gutties.
Palming Dunies off however as your average trio of wasted lunatics,
would be a sad and narrow-minded mistake. These three take as much
pleasure in overt politeness and the odd spot of gardening as they do
in the eyes-wide open adventure of tilting reality. But at the core of
it all - the platform for everything that follows - is their
uncalculated lust for making music. It’s taken them from Brisbane to
the US, South Africa (ask them how the hell they found themselves
here!), China, Indo, Malaysia, Canada, Singapore, a small seaside
shanty South of Sydney and to the proudest musical moment so far – the
writing, recording and the imminent release on Dune 1st of their first
full-length record.
Dunies self titled debut album began to bed in when they read a letter
Steve Albini wrote to Nirvana in the lead in to the recording of In
Utero, which got them frothing on the idea that if they couldn’t record
their album in little over a week, they had no right to be in a rock
band. They connected with the ethos of no bullshit songs, written in a
garage and recorded by a friend. That friend turned out to be Woody
Annison, tour manager and sound engineer for Children Collide whom
they’d not long before bro’d up with when the two bands toured
together. Dune Rats took to the challenge with the same merciless
conviction that’s gotten them both fucked up and famous. Over the span
of a month
page 1 / 2
they bunkered down in a tiny shed at Brett’s Mum’s house on the
beach and began to pen songs with fervor. Those four weeks became all
about growth. The creative well bubbled over beyond the tunes and they
took to renovating the tiny shed, turning it into a tiny soundproof
studio, they built a vege garden, they surfed, they chilled out, they
slept in beds (for a change), they wrote songs together in the true
spirit of what it means to be a band and they recorded all the demos.
By the time they went into the studio with Woody in Melbourne, they
were ready for the Albini-esque timeframe and needed just a half-day of
pre-production and they were on their away.
‘Funny Guy’ is the first single from the brand new album. A track that
rips, just like the Dunies. It’s an anthem calling out to all those
that feel the need to look like something they ain't - living one life,
presenting another - leading to the lyrical catch cry ‘ Why you gotta
lie, all the time??’
Live the Dune Rats way - ‘NO KOOKS, NO GUTTIES!!’
