  • C'mon Aussie

    Oh lawdy it's been a while, 

    All we can dream in these cold winter daze - what's that you ask? Cold winter daze? - yes, cold winter daze alright, just for a little bit we have been seeing how the other half live, the half in the Northern hemisphere, let me tell you, they're harsh bastards but fair, they come from incredible stock who once survived freezing temperatures in loin cloths alone. Us pathetic southerners do all that we can to not slip into deep freeze by cranking the heat up to 30, prancing around in swimmers, practicing for our upcoming summer shows which will be back home in the very bosom of blossoming Australia.
     
    Sydney, the city of excess, the succulent, juicy capital of NYE celebrations will get a little more heated this year as we come to town to celebrate the occasion at Purple Sneakers House Party with first-time visitors to our shores UK acts The Boxer Rebellion and Baddies, USA’s tornado of awesome, Ponytail and LA’s head hipster and leader of the indie DJs, Franki Chan. They’ll also be letting loose a whole slew of Aussie crew & DJs such as Philadelphia Grand Jury, Beni (Kitsune), Astronomy Class, Red Riders, Shazam (Bang Gang 12”), DZ, Deep Sea Arcade, Chaingang, Surecut Kids, Young Heretics, The Trivs, Strangeways, Joyride and of course the Purple Sneakers DJs with PhDJ will be there too!!
     
    Entry to three stages, free love and music to set your heart on fire at Manning House, Sydney Uni on December 31st, can be obtained here, at www.purplesneakersnewyearseve.com or from Oztix, Moshtix and Ticketek.
     
    And that's not all for us sun worshipers, if you live in Victoria we'll be hitting the stage of Solar a festival held in Mornington, Victoria with the very likes of Bliss N Eso, Ladyhawke, Birds Of Tokyo, Drapht + Various (DJ Stage). Hit them up here www.solarmusicfest.com
     
    The final frontier, Tasmania - treacherous and true, land of the righteous and unrefined rock n roll pagans, we can't wait to rumble with you in exhaled and amplified glory January 9th at Soundscape along side Children Collide, Ugly Duckling and Empire Of The Sun - more tasty details at www.thesoundscapefestival.com
     
    Until then, keep warm,

    Also, we'd like to take this opportunity to introduce you all to some new friends of ours, Senior Heart and Panda Pal. Printed on the finest quality American Apparel cotton, made right here in the USA, sweat shop free and printed by the only merch company I'd recommend to my closest friends, Jakprints, they're of good fit and of good ethics. As well as our CD and vinyl, we'll be selling these little troublemakers at all shows on the tour while stocks last.
     
     
    So come one, come all, I promise you, it's gonna be fun!

  • Winning Tickets & Gaining Teeth.

    Greetings!
     
    Summer was gorgeous and grand. Well at least it was for us. We were pregnant with anticipation for our sophomore album to be released in North America. Finally, the time has come to birth 'Teeth Lost, Hearts Won' to these great peoples. Actually here's a story, a true story, last friday night we played *ahem brag alert* a sold out show at The Mercury Lounge in NYC. A pregnant woman just entering her second trimester timidly came along, she was worried people would frown on her 'going to a rock show in that condition'. However, she came along, saw no frowns AND the baby kicked for the FIRST time, ever, while we were on stage. In time with the beat too. Pretty special. She said she's going to be playing 'Teeth Lost, Hearts Won' in the delivery room. They let you do that y'know. Oh yeah, you can play any sorta music you want.
     
    THE BIRTH : Once again, 'Teeth Lost, Hearts Won' will be released this upcoming September 15th. Don't forget to not mark it on your calendars. Or not put a reminder in your iPhones. Or not write it down the bottom of your mom's shopping list. Or not tell your grandparents. Or not tell your BFF.
     
    .....oh just found out it's available digitally now on iTunes and Amazon
    .....or you can order the vinyl LP on Amazon, which comes with a free CD + MP3 download
     
    WIN : Also if you would like to go to this weekend's Monolith Festival, which is in Denver so you should probably only compete if your local OR can book a plane trip quick snap, we have a double pass to give away. If you would like one head over to fuelfriendsblog.com and enter. All you have to do is email Heather a story about a time when patience was important to you, or why we need Patience, or something rad about Australia. She will pick a winner at noon tomorrow, that’s 12pm Mountain Standard Time, Friday. Include your full name with your email entry. It doesn't have to be long.
     
    Thanks guys, hope to see some of you on the weekend in Colorado (+ Peublo, Phoenix & LA!)

  • "Teeth Lost, Hearts Won" North American Release + Alien Fantasy Story

    "Salutations wise ones! We come in peace and in ROCK! " - if I was ever to be abducted by aliens, I'd wish that was their introduction. Then I'd be like "Sweeeeeeet! Let's jam!" then we'd be like jamming hits that were outta this world, kicking jams so sticky your eyelids would glue together & your ears would pop right out and your teeth would explode! That's the kind of alien abduction I'd be OK with. 
     
    That will probably NEVER happen. Luckily, THIS WILL!

  • Living In America - The Song By James Brown

    Did you guys know James Brown had the best funeral ever? Definitely google that if you're young. Ok, honey bees we are psyched to be announcing some shows in America and Canada! 2/3rds of the band are leaving this weekend while 1/3rd of the band is already livin' la vida loca in Brooklyn. Once we're reunited we plan on practicing our ears off in preparation for the fun times to be had in, at & around the following places...

    July 12th - Ottawa, ON- Live 88 Lounge
    July 15th - New York, NY - Piano’s - Tickets Here
    July 22nd - New York, NY - Piano’s - Tickets Here
    July 24th - 26th - Guelph, ON - The Hillside Festival
    July 28th -  Toronto, ON - The Legendary Horseshoe (free!)
    July 29th - New York, NY - Piano's - Tickets Here
    September 13th - Morrison, CO - The Monolith Music Festival

    + More dates to be announced!

    So please come one, come all. Patience might even attempt to dance in some of her vintage ballet costumes she picked up at a steal. Of course they are very fussy so who knows. The clothes constantly complain of sore feet and say camp things like 'I can't even think straight' and 'gay by nature absolutely fabulous by choice'. Actually, they're hilarious. Crazy costumes, they spent too much time in the closet! Ha! (I thought of that last one myself, could you tell?).

    OK, OK, I have to go pack. Keep in touch, and come out for the good times.

  • Talkin' Bout Your Tourin'ation

    Hi there peopi!

    We are knee deep in tour and let me tell you, it's a cracker! Brisbane was one of the most intense and excitable crowd we've ever had the pleasure of playing to. And we weren't alone in those thoughts....

    "Yeah, that was really fun, there were so many people" - DZ's thoughts on Brisbane (DZ are such a great band. You should buy your Mum their demo for Mothers Day).

    and Canberra was a curve ball, selling our days before we arrived, they pretty much slayed any preconceptions I had of a Canberra audience!

    "That was awesome" - Johnny Children Collide on Canberra (BTW it's actually really confusing going on tour with two Johns. Especially now that John Grates also answers to Johnny).

    We are super pumped to get ourselves to a town near you so better get your tickets now for Adelaide, Melbourne and Hobart as we have sold out all other shows and there's limited tickets left in each of those cities! Woo Hoo!

    In other news... OMGSHAUNMICALLEFISATOTALLEGEND! Yes, that's right, I bet you've been hearing Shaun Micallef's name whispered on every whispering wind. He's back on the screen and back in the scene hosting new game show 'Talkin' 'bout Your Generation'. It aired last Tuesday and nailed the ratings... but how will it rate this coming week when Patience goes on and fights for her right to party as a member of Generation Y! I'm not sure if they have invented anything better than first place yet, but I reckon that's what they'll have to do Wednesday morning, after our gal makes her prime time debut LOL

    You can see Patience on 'Talkin' 'bout Your Generation'
    Channel 10. 7:30pm
    with Peter Rosethorn and Dylan Lewis.

    And we're off to a flying start! Catch you round the traps on our touring adventures tiger!

  • Training Begins

    Cooltastic hello to y'all!

    We begin intensive practice tomorrow in preparation for our 'Biggest And Longest Adventure Ever Tour', so as you can imagine, we're all very nervous. Not about the tour, about the preparation for tour. Preparing must be thorough and scary! That way you know no matter what happens on tour, no matter what gets thrown your way (be it dagger, dog or human), or how little sleep you get, that you will not once have a poop in your pants. It is important that your pants (and you only get one lucky pair to wear the whole time) remain unsoiled and unspoiled. Which is a hard thing to do especially when you get told you've got your first SELL OUT! Yes, Brisbane is sooooold oooooout & other cities aren't far off so don't wait too long to get tix :)

  • May the Fourth be with you.

    h00dy d00dy,

    START: *This is Patience typing* When I was young one of my friends (boyfriends) made a truly intelligent crack about my birthday which is May 4th. He said MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU. Pretty good, right? I have shared this knowledge with you for several reasons.

    1) 4 is a really friendly number.
    2) May is the best month of the year.
    3) May is the month which we, The Grates, will be doing our final tour for this album! I know!!! What a coincidence, two awesome things at once, like pooping and eating at the same time! But there will be nothing shitty about our tour, as we'll be taking one of the finest, young bands Australia has out on the road with us. Tighten your butt holes... I'm about to make you shit...

    Children Collide!!! and many more local supports. Tickets go on sale Friday March 13th at 9am. The dates of the tour are awesome!

    MIDDLE: I'm not sure if you are familiar with the GFC (Grates Fever Cat, d'uh) but America pretty much asked us to come and save them from it.

    END: And now for our final piece of love advice. Instead of going out this weekend how about 'Be Tempted'? "Be tempted?" you say? Yes, by... Rockwiz Salutes The Bowl from 9:20 on SBS.

    Those who are familiar with our twitter or tumblr will already be aware that recently I had the delight of singing in a Paul Kelly, Glen Richards (Augie March) sandwich. RocKwiz Salutes The Bowl was a huge success with 10,000 people at The Myer Music Bowl to witness a spectacular night's entertainment. I preformed on rockwiz not so long ago but if you missed it you can catch my duet with Brod Smith from The Dingos here:

    Thanks for making it this far into the mailout, catch you in May if not before!

    Tim Fite : The best thing to come out of Brooklyn since Aaliyah (1979-2001), The Notorious B.I.G (1972-1997) or Neil Diamond (he's still alive?), Tim Fite and his brother will be with us soon to play Laneway Festivals around Australia and few side dates of their own. There are lots of great bands playing Laneway this year and Tim Fite is worth the cover charge alone. So I think your getting a good deal. It's like seeing every other band for free, which is the same price as an orgasm you *might* win of god.

    Catch him here...
