News : Karnivool add yet more dates!

PR: Once again, KARNIVOOL, Perth’s hugely successful purveyors of heavy rock prove their popularity and status on the live music scene! With 8 shows on their national tour sold out the band is pleased to announce final extra shows to cope with demand for the New Day tour – their last national headline Australian tour for their Sound Awake album. Two shows will now take place in Brisbane when the tour kicks off on June 23rd, three in Sydney including a newly added all ages show, three in Melbourne with the first two already sold out there, two in Adelaide and two in their hometown of Perth where the tour wraps up on July 22^nd.

Support acts for the tour have also now been announced.

Sydney based genre defying MM9 who’ve been storming stages for the past decade uniquely combining elements of heavy rock and electro, littered with guitar-driven melodies will join KARNIVOOL on their New Day tour as the main support act. MM9 is a band whose versatility is matched only by the sheer potency of their stage presence. While maintaining a tireless schedule of touring throughout 2008/2009, MM9 finally released their highly anticipated first full length album ‘The Air Between’ in March. Constantly looking forward, always evolving, MM9 are a band to listen to, witness, and lose yourself in and KARNIVOOL are pleased to invite them on the road in June/July this year

CAIRO KNIFE FIGHT, a thrilling new outfit from Christchurch have emerged with a live show that evolves into one hell of a unique experience. With vocals, drums, bass and live looping by well seasoned drummer Nick Gaffney and guitars and backing vocals by Aaron Tokona (founder and front man of successful New Zealand band Weta), put simply a live performance from CAIRO KNIFE FIGHT is hectic! They’ll cross the Tasman to open proceedings at all shows on the New Day tour except Perth where local lads The Siren Tower will kick things off.

In other incredible news for one of our biggest heavy music exports KARNIVOOL have been announced on the Sonisphere Festival in the UK. Taking place at Knebworth from Friday July 30^th, KARNIVOOL will perform on Sunday August 1st . This is a landmark international performance for the Perth band who will be performing alongside such monstrous heavy weights as Iron Maiden,  Rammstein,  Alice Cooper, Pendulum, Placebo, the iconic Iggy and The Stooges, Motley Crue, Slayer  and more!
