RHUM

Following on from their stellar performances at last year’s Falls Festival, as well as headline shows in Melbourne and Brisbane and a standout spot supporting Fleet Foxes in Sydney, San Francisco’s raucous, freewheeling, power-percussion, folk-pop sensations, The Dodos , return to Australia in February 2010. Just announced as support for all shows are former triple j Unearthed J Award winners and Brisbane's own purveyors of glorious pop melodies, The John Steel Singers.

Centred around the key elements of fiery drumming and Fahey-infused finger-picking, the creative core of The Dodos has now been blessed with vibraphone both on record and in the live setting, further enhancing the band’s dalliance into the world of being a bit more rock’n’roll - hell, frontman Meric Long even plays standing up these days...

Their brilliant new album, Time To Die, the follow-up to 2008’s critically acclaimed, Visiter, was produced by Phil Ek (Fleet Foxes, The Shins, Built To Spill) and is out now.
