Gabrielle & Cameron (Dead Letter Chorus) announced today as special guests

A day after Old Man River’s memorable performance for the Dalai Lama, it was announced that Gabrielle and Cameron from DEAD LETTER CHORUS will be joining Old Man River as special guests for his East Coast 1000 Cranes Tour.

Inspired by his heartfelt initiative ‘1000 Cranes for Japan’, Old Man River will be performing songs in an intimate acoustic setting from his albums ‘GOOD MORNING’ & ‘TRUST’.

This July, OLD MAN RIVER is embarking on a winter tour of Australia, performing songs in an intimate acoustic setting from his albums ‘GOOD MORNING’ & ‘TRUST’ and supporting his new initiative ‘1000 Cranes For Japan’.

Here at the AU HQ, we get quite a few albums sent to us. Not all of them are picked up quick enough by contributors, so in an effort to cover some of the albums we've missed, we introduce a new feature on the AU review: The Quick Review. A collection of short reviews of some albums we've received over the last few months. Today we bring you five such readings:

Smitty & B.Goode - Hello Rock ‘n’ Roll

“Do you say it Bully or Bull-eye?” questions Daniel Lee Kendall as a means of clearing it up before his set starts.

On arrival at the unibar, a band called The Sun Orchestra were on stage. Quite a delightful sound. I didn't get to see much but was pleasantly surprised to hear such a good first support.

As I headed into the festival grounds on Friday, I couldn’t help but feel a great deal of excitement as the sun beamed down on me. Today was a ridiculously fantastic line-up.

Oh Hark, The Sun Approaches!
