It's about time we give you all another update on the goings on at camp dubz...

May brought us down through Canberra, Sydney and Wollongong to play the Prog Fest 2009 tour and a show in the 'Gong which was a first for us.  Prog Fest was an absolute thrill for us to re-unite with friends Ne Obliviscaris, Mushroom Giant and Eleventh He Reaches London for shows at The Basement in Canberra and The Annandale Hotel in Sydney.  Big thanks to the 23+ bands involved and organisers The Bird's Robe Collective, OzProg.com, Welkin Entertainment, The Basement and The Annandale.

Wollongong we froze our arses off, but were surprisingly welcomed by a huge crowd. We thank everyone who came out to support us!

Tim Charles from Melbourne's Ne Obliviscaris hits the stage with us for some violin action in Sydney's Prog Fest 2009:
 

 

 






 

 

June also gave us the chance to finally play with friends from across the border These Hands Could Separate The Sky (featuring new guitarist from Lakes of Russia). Along with our favourites Space Project and our first time sharing the stage with locals Bare Arms at Newtown's Sando.

We have some upcoming shows over the next couple of months in Sydney and are delighted to be invited as main support for Signal Hill's Sydney leg of their Australian tour.

 

We are also very excited to be joining Panzer Queen, one of Sydney's newest and most promising post-rock outfits in launching their debut EP at the Excelsior Hotel in Surry Hills. Valar are also on the bill so be sure to check this one out...

 

Finally in August, Jericco will embrace Sydney with their uniquely awesome heavy progressive sound and will be joined by the recently re-formed Endusk and ourselves.

In recent news, sleepmakeswaves were graciously invited to provide works for the BBC for their latest Empire of Cricket: Australia series.  At present the doco has only been aired in England and Ireland and can be viewed by fans in those countries at http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/..episode/b00lblww/Empire_of_..Cricket_Australia/.  It may also be around elsewhere so keep an eye out.

Tom has been brushing up on his Mandarin and has recently done a mammoth interview for China's Fei-Yin-Yue Magazine, a translation can be found on our forums at http://www.ozprog.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6247&page=2 and the interview should be in their next publication http://www.ccocn.cn/feiyinyue/.

Tour wise, we have had a lot of demand to get across to Western Australia which we are in the process of planning at the moment and will hopefully (pending the state of the smw wallets) have an announcement regarding this within the next couple of months.  Visits to Melbourne, Brisbane and potentially a tour of New Zealand are also on the horizon so watch this space! (if anyone in NZ can help us out, let us know!)

We have also begun early pre-production for our next release(s). No details on this as yet as it's all a seeeeecret at this stage ;)

So that's it for now... I can't believe it has been nearly 2 years since I've posted a myspace blog *phew*.

See you all soon!


Much Love,
Kid & sleepmakeswaves
