AUGUST NEWS
THE LIVING END
are no strangers to the annual
Splendour in the Grass Festival. They have played the Byron Bay festival a number of times, and the crowds there always seem to be particularly appreciative.
So, when called up to make an attempt at filling the huge shoes of the
legendary Janes' Addiction at this years' festival, how could they
possibly refuse? The cancellation of the Janes' Addiction tour a mere 24 hours before the band were due to land in the country was due to the drummer Stephen Perkins' elbow infection.
There was a marked anticipation at having such big shoes to fill, however TLE hit the main stage for the
headline slot
with the same gusto they treat every all out rock show they play. The
crowd embraced TLE as fill-in's wholeheartedly. The band even tipped
their hat to the absent Janes', playing a cover of Jane Says, complete with
Grinspoon's Phil Jamieson on shared vocals. Check out photos, video and radio at the Triple J Website.

other
reviews from
Splendour in the Grass here and here.
The
White Album Concert Series
finally kicked into gear on Saturday night in Melbourne. Chris Cheney
and his mates Phil Jamieson, Tim Rogers & Josh Pyke will take their
orchestral tribute to The Beatles fractured but genius record to the
road this week. Check out The Age review from the first show here.
If you are headed to the shows and are unsure what to expect, you can watch an exclusive video from the
final rehearsal right here. It sure got us pretty amped!
If you are looking to get you hands on some
TLE merch, it seems the time is ripe. The good folks at
Fist2Face have been peddling some huge discounts at the
Official The Living End Merch Store. Everything from
shirts, singles, albums and trinket
items have been given the discounting treatment. Check it all out at: www.fist2face.com.au/?thelivingend.
After the White Album Tour wraps up there is barely one moment for
breath before TLE pack up to head back to Europe for their third
expedition this year. This trip takes in the main stage at the Leeds & Reading festivals along with some other shows in
Belgium, Wales & Scotland. If your city is missing out this time around, fear not! The club tour in
