Happy Monday to you all! To start off, we'd like to say a huge thanks to all of you for helping our new album "Golden Rule" debut at #1 on the ARIA chart! This is our 5th studio album to debut at #1, so we couldn't be more chuffed.

Now, on to business! We have a brand new video for our next single "Burn Your Name"!


(If your bandwidth can take it, we recommend switching the quality to 'Super')

The video was filmed in Chiang Mai, Thailand, at the Yi Peng festival (or Festival of Lights). People light a lantern that is kind of like a personal hot air balloon and set it adrift, sending all their troubles away. It was an amazing experience to see your own lantern float away with thousands of others, and you could follow it until it looked like a star. To find out more about the festival and see some photos, head to our blog to read some more info from the clip's director, Natasha Pincus.

In other news, Powderfinger have been confirmed to play at Take 40 Live on Sunday 6th December. Best of all, this is a free show in support of the Australian Skin Cancer Awareness Campaign!

The Government's skin cancer awareness campaign was launched last week, and it's an issue that is particularly close to the band's heart. We're thrilled to be able to help raise awareness of the issue.



The concert will be recorded and broadcast on TV and online, so if you're not in Sydney, you'll still be able to catch the show. We'll have details of where you can find this shortly.

'LIVE AT THE BUNKER' - ONLINE ALBUM LAUNCH IS ON TONIGHT!

We only have one more sleep to go until "Golden Rule" is here! While you wait for the CD fairy to arrive, we invite you to curl up at home, grab a drink and watch Powderfinger perform "Golden Rule" in its entirety from front to back live online!

As we announced last week, the webcast will allow all Powderfinger fans around the world to catch the album launch direct from Powderfinger's band room bunker in Brisbane.


Fans outside Australia: please CLICK HERE to find out what your webcast local time is.

We're incredibly excited to share this Australian-first experience with you all. See you tonight!

We have a treat for all you music purists out there - "Golden Rule" is also available on vinyl! Featuring the stunning artwork of Storm Thorgerson (responsible for covers for the likes of Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath), the "Golden Rule" vinyl is a must for any collector. This is an extremely limited pressing of only 500 copies, and is available from the Powderfinger Store until stocks run out.

We've also had one of the first reviews of "Golden Rule" run over the weekend. Scott Podmore from Victoria's Sunday Herald Sun categorised the album as a cross between "Odyssey Number 5" and "Vulture Street".


Enjoy!

Golden Rule is out Friday 13th November.

Q150 ON SALE NOW!

As we mentioned a few weeks ago, we're curating a festival in Brisbane that we're also playing at, alongside Custard, Yves Klein Blue, The Middle East and The Cairos, and tickets are on sale now! This morning, due to a ridiculously high number of people flooding the QTIX website at 9am, the QTIX server slowed down due to the high demand. Things seem to be all straightened out now, so keep persisting! We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

FIVE FINGERS. FIVE MO'S. FIVE BUCKS.

We're very excited to reveal that Powderfinger have teamed up with Movember as exclusive music ambassadors! The band are joining the fight against prostate cancer and depression in men, and are so serious about the cause, they are donating $5 from every copy of Golden Rule pre-ordered HERE to Movember!

That's right, you can now purchase your copy of Golden Rule as a CD or digital download and do your bit to raise funds!


In addition, the band have signed up as a team at movember.com, and from November 1st each band member will be growing and grooming a mo! Each style of Mo is yet to be decided, however we will definitely keep you updated on each mo's progress, and we'll have a poll on www.powderfinger.com where you'll be able to vote for your favourite band mo. That is sure to be quite a competition!

Of course, while Movember is going to be a heap of fun, there is a serious side to the festivities. By becoming involved in Movember, Powderfinger hope to encourage other Mo Bros to step up, grow a Mo and help prompt conversation around men's health.

If Mo growing isn't your speciality, or if you're a woman, you can still help to raise funds for The Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and beyondblue - the national depression initiative by pre-ordering Golden Rule and donating at www.movember.com.

So go on, get growing! We are very excited to give you the band's first Movember mo update.

Yes folks,its that time of the year again,when your all time favorite band dusts off the cobwebs, straps on the leather boots, and hits the stage one more time for your entertainment...... “Adult Baby” that is. What a talented bunch they are, hailing from Norfolk Island, they struggled early on in their career playing to not much more than the local mud crabs and a few castaways. Times were tough for Adult Baby as the mud crabs didn't exactly chip in to their touring costs (well, at least they provided the food (themselves)). So after 14 years slogging it out in the Norfolk Island music scene, and 12 albums later, Adult Baby seem to finally have struck gold with their latest effort 'Golden Fool'.

With a huge tour planned, the band were disappointed that the Suncorp stadium show fell through due to the Morton Bay Bugs not being allowed entry, and a slightly undersold show, but have been more than compensated with the Zoo believing the hype and signing them on for a one off, all bells and whistles extravaganza.

By the time you read this, I have a feeling the show will have been and gone..... we in Adult Baby just hope you all had as good a time as we did... that the memories remain till next we meet, and that wind fills your sails as you navigate through the turbulent waters of life.

Yours in music and love,

Adult Baby member 'D'
