Gotye

*** SOLD OUT ***

GOTYE'S sold-out mini-orchestra tour of 2007 left critics a bit breathless and fans wanting more.  In support of his new album, Making Mirrors (released 19 August via Eleven: a music company), Gotye is pleased to present a brand new 10-piece orchestra tour to a national audience.

For the first time ever, the orchestra will re-create Gotye's unique, sample-laden music in a completely live setting.  That means no click tracks or backing tracks, people.  The orchestra will include Wally de Backer (Gotye) on vocals, a midi marimba, drums. 3-piece horn section, keyboards, guitar, bass, percussion, drumkit and backing vocals.  In addition, there will be visuals animated by some of Australia's most talented artists (Rubber House, Lucinda Schreiber, Mechanical Apple, PictureDRIFT) and performed live with the band.  The tour manager will be busy.

Anticipation for Making Mirrors is at fever pitch following the release of Gotye's heart-stopping single Somebody That I Used To Know (Feat. Kimbra) which raced up the charts from #27 to #12 and is heading for Top 10 ARIA Gold selling statuswithin the week.  The song is the #1 most played song of Triple J and is currently Top 5 on iTunes. 

The new album Making Mirrors will be released on Friday August 19 and you can pre-order a signed copy of the deluxe album here
