After announcing a Laneway sideshow in Sydney earlier this week, we are now very pleased to announce a Stornoway sideshow in Melbourne - Thursday 10th February 2011 at the Corner Hotel. Tickets on sale now and all details listed below.
Blowing in from Oxford, UK, Stornoway are a five piece of songsmiths, scientists and men of the earth. The band’s debut album “Beachcomber’s Windowsill”, lead by critically acclaimed first single “Zorbing” , is a labour of love, of extraordinary beauty, that is by turns fiery, wistful and exuberant. The charming brand of quintessential pop, steeped in pastoral hues has won them fans across the globe, and Australian audiences finally getting the chance to witness their blissful timeless balladry this February.
