Acclaimed Australian band Augie March sets out on the road through May in support of its new album Bootikins, hitting most capitals for its first run in donkeys yonks. Expect all the new tunes but a good dose of the old from its now sprawling back catalogue.

It has been said of Augie March that had they made normal length records instead of the kind that take three days in real time to finish, they’d rival the Stones for output. Maybe, maybe not, but one thing is for sure, they’ve made some long albums. See them virtually match the vitality and swagger of the present day Stones at a venue near you, or some inconvenient distance from you.
