Very Special Guests
Virgil and the Accelerators
Very special guests on the tour is
Virgil and the Accelerators;
a sensational young power trio, captivating audiences across Europe
with their jaw dropping live performances. Debut album 'The Radium' has
received countless 5 star reviews. Classic Rock listed the band’s work
in 'Best of 2011'. Top USA magazine Blues Rock Review placed the album
second in their Top 40 albums of 2011. The band have been nominated
for Best 'Young Artist' and 'Best Album' in this year’s British Blues
Awards. With their new album they have single-handedly rewritten the
blues rock template, producing one of the finest debut albums for many
years.
To coincide with the September UK tour, “Cool Green Recordings” will release Tracer’s mid-priced mini album
“LA?” in the UK on 27th August 2012. The mini album was originally released in Australia in 2009.
Tracer was recently voted third place in
Planet Rock’s “Best New Band” listeners’ poll. Over the past four months Planet Rock has played the singles
Too Mucha nd
Devil Ride, two songs taken from Tracer’s debut critically acclaimed album
Spaces In Between.
Tracer has captured the excitement and adrenalin rush of
rock’n’roll. Tracer’s sound embodies the same raw dynamics and edge to
that of Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Queens of the Stone Age and Black
Sabbath.
With the release of
Spaces in Between,
Tracer has attracted rave reviews and interviews in Classic Rock (New
Band of the Month), Total Guitar, Rock Sound, Guitarist, Fireworks and
Powerplay. Their video for
Too Much has attracted over 50,000
hits on YouTube. In the tradition of three-piece rock bands like Rush
and Muse, Tracer’s sound is the audio equivalent to Francis Ford
Coppola’s Apocalypse Now set inside the eye of a hurricane.
Hailing from Adelaide, South Australia, Tracer embrace a sonic
sledgehammer sound steeped in epic guitars, thunderous riffs and raw,
uncompromising vocals. Their Australian blend of 90’s stoner and 70’s
classic rock continues to win them new fans.
When Tracer supported Royal Republic on their 2011 European tour, it
soon became evident that Tracer was the band to watch. When the UK’s
premiere classic rock radio station, Planet Rock started playing the
band’s rock anthem
Too Much, listeners responded, and posted messages on the
Too Much YouTube video wall by saying, “Planet Rock brought me here.”
Rising from the ashes of blues prodigy band The Brown Brothers in
2004, Michael (vocals, guitar) and Leigh Brown (vocals, bass) teamed up
with drummer Andre Wise to form Tracer.
The following years have seen the trio find success with two
independent releases; two international tours, including support slots
for Little Red, Children Collide, The John Steel Singers and Cassette
Kids.
Following a debut European tour in late 2009, Tracer returned
overseas in September 2010 to take a coveted showcase slot at Germany’s
PopKomm Music Conference in Berlin. The band embarked on a string of
dates throughout Germany, Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Switzerland
and the UK, taking time off only to sign a record deal with Cool Green
Recordings, a sub label of the Mascot Label Group.
Upon returning to Adelaide, the band headed straight into the studio, and recorded what was to be their debut album,
Spaces In Between, released October 2011.
TRACER - OFFICIAL BIOGRAPHY
With a sound reminiscent of 90′s grunge/stoner rock mixed with the
everlasting bravado of 70′s classic rock, Tracer is a driving, sonic
sledgehammer of massive guitars, clever hooks and raw uncompromising
vocals. Forming out of the ashes of blues prodigy band The Brown
Brothers in 2004, Michael (Vocals and guitar) and Leigh Brown (Vocals
and Bass) teamed up with drummer Andre Wise to make Tracer. With 2
independent releases, 2 international tours and now a record contract
under their belt, Tracer is a band that takes every little chance,
every crazy idea, and commits everything they have to it.
During 2008 and 2009 Tracer took on an extensive touring schedule
with multiple trips to Melbourne, a string of successful Adelaide shows
including a capacity crowd at the Australian album launch for their
second critically acclaimed mini-album “L.A.?”
2009 also saw the band share the stage with Little Red, Children
Collide, The John Steel Singers and Cassette Kids among others. In late
2009 Tracer set off and toured Europe for three and a half months
taking in Germany, the Netherlands, U.K., Denmark, Switzerland and
Czech. Tracer also toured as part of The Great Australian Wave (as a
showcase at PopKomm in Germany).
Upon returning from Europe the band got busy writing new songs and
developing their live show. Demand from overseas led the band to
recording 3 new songs to compliment the release of ‘L.A.?’ in Europe.
‘L.A.?’ was met with countless praising reviews in German magazines and
an expression of interest from Mascot Records in the Netherlands.
Due to the success of the 2009 European tour and an increasing
demand from overseas, Tracer played Europe once more with a showcase
performance at Germany’s new format PopKomm Music Conference in Berlin.
From this performance the band set off on a string of dates throughout
Germany, Czech, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the UK.
The band released their debut LP via Mascot’s Cool Green
Recordings on October 3rd 2011. Following the release of the album, the
band toured the UK and Europe as support to Royal Republic.
In 2011, their single “Too Much” was A-listed on Planet Rock Radio
in the UK for three months. The band generated over 50,000 views for
their Too Much video on YouTube. In December 2011, Planet Rock
A-listed Tracer’s critically acclaimed second single “Devil Ride”.
Due to popular demand, Tracer returned to the UK and Europe for their first headline tour in April 2012.
On 27th August, Tracer will release their debut mini album “LA?”
that will coincide with their second headline UK and European tour in
September 2012. The mini album was originally released in Australia in
2009 to critical acclaim.
