The Blackeyed Susans Christmas Shows
30 October
2011
The Blackeyed Susans have announced two special Christmas shows for this December. These events have become something of a tradition over the past few years, and this time around the band are promising their biggest shows yet - stellar line-ups, sad sad Christmas songs, coloured party lights - the works.
After celebrating their 20th anniversary in 2009 with the release of the box set retrospective ‘Reveal Yourself’ and subsequent tour, The Susans have spent much of this year bunkered down working on new material. Rob Snarski and Dan Luscombe have been putting the finishing touches to their new long player, while the rest of the band have been busy with various side projects and collaborations.
Lest you can’t wait until December, The Blackeyed Susans will also be performing around the country in November as special guests of The Triffids, most notably at the Queenscliff Music Festival, Victoria and the Brisbane Powerhouse.

Rob Snarski at the Velvet Lounge
21 September
2011
Rob returns to Perth for one WA show at the Velvet Lounge. This will be the only chance to see Rob in WA before he heads off for a run of festival dates as part of The Triffids collective, but not before treating Perth to an intimate show through his extensive catalogue.
"The Velvet Lounge (formerly The Cat and Fiddle) was the very first venue I saw The Triffids circa early '80s, members of The Scientists, Brian Hooper and a whole bunch of fellow musicians cut their teeth. Back in the day it was one of a few "alternative" venues, where bands performed original songs. Strange to think that now but the venue holds a lot of great musical memories for me. On Sunday September 25, I will perform a solo set of old and new - Blackeyed Susans, Chad's Tree and Dan Luscombe co-writes. Old pal Nigel Harford from The Stray Tapes/German Humour/White Cross opens the evening with his new band The Coburn Sound and one of my favourite WA artists Felicity Groom (who snuck into the studio to do some recording with Dan Luscombe and I when last in Melb) hops on board too. Come along." - Rob.
The late afternoon show runs 4-7pm and tickets are $15 +bf available from www.heatseeker.com.au, Planet Video, 78 Records, Mills Records and Star Surf outlets. Rob's show at the Velvet Lounge last year sold out, so get in quick!
Sunday 25 September 2011
From 4pm
The Union Hotel in June
11 April
2011
The Blackeyed Susans Trio will return to the Union Hotel in Brunswick for a 4 week residency, playing on Saturday afternoons throughout June. Come along and see various combinations of the Susans Trio performing 2 sets each evening from 5pm. There is no cover charge and the place is always packed, so you'll need to get there early to grab a table. Apart from the wonderful music on offer, The Union is a great place for a pub meal on a cold winter's night.
