MORE ABOUT THIS TOUR AND ARTIST:

Dead Letter Chorus return with “Covered By Snow”, the first single from
their forthcoming sophomore release. Having spent over 6 weeks touring
Canada, Dead Letter Chorus land on Australian soil to take on their
first headlining tour of 2010. The band comes home amidst large success
in Canada where their previous record, The August Magnificent, was
received with open arms inciting some critics to call them “the best
band outside of Canada in the past 5 years” and “Australia’s answer to
Arcade Fire”. Furthermore, the band held the number 1 record spot on
CIUT college radio, were the first ever non-Canadian band to be
featured on CBC3 national radio, and played to packed houses as one of
the most hyped bands at Canadian Music Week and East Coast Music Awards
festivals. Their 14-date national tour culminated in a sold-out
headline show at Vancouver’s legendary Railway Club.

“Covered By Snow” will be available as a limited edition 7” single and
accompanying high quality digital download through ABC/Universal
mid-late May. The single release will feature a b-side written by the
band’s Gabrielle Huber and their Canadian touring partners Two Hours
Traffic. This song was written together in a hotel room in “the other
Sydney”, Cape Breton, Canada, and features both bands contributing
their unique styles to the song. Two Hours Traffic will join Dead
Letter Chorus down under on the tour in support of releasing their
album “Territory” to the Australian public. Both bands will also take
part in the bi-annual Sydney Song Summit where they will be showcasing
their material.

The Covered By Snow Tour sees Dead Letter Chorus undertake their most
extensive Australian Tour yet on what is sure to be a highly
anticipated run of shows. The set-list is expected to be a mixture of
their first two releases as well as showcasing new songs from their
upcoming album, many of which will have their debut performances on
this tour. For dates and ticketing info see below.
