Two of Australia's notable punk/rock acts are hitting the road in celebration of albums that are getting older than your kids!
Bodyjar and Gyroscope have announced a co-headlining tour to celebrate 25 Years of No Touch Red and 15 Years of Breed Obsession - with both albums being played in full.
On Bodyjar's album, Cam Baines fondly remembers,
"No Touch Red was recorded at the famous Morin Heights studio in Montreal Canada, everyone from The Police to Corey Hart (Sunglasses At Night) recorded there in the 80’s and 90's. We even got to use Stings coffee cup and tantric Tamborine"
"It was the dead of winter in 1998 and we’d just finished a huge but gruelling tour of Canada playing with Blink 182, SNFU and MXPX. The last show was with Descendents in Montreal where we convinced Bill Stevenson by knifepoint to mix the album once it was done."

As for Gyroscope, the album Breed Obsession landed at #1 on the ARIA charts and set them up for global recognition, as the band recalls,
"In 2007 we spent about 6 weeks living and breathing this record in Liverpool with the legend Dave Eringa (Idlewild, Manic Street Preachers) who helped us bring this record to life. We shot a video for the first single ‘Snakeskin’ in Wiltshire, where a 200-metre crop circle was purpose built. No alien sightings but it made for a cool video at least!"
Wanna go back in time too? You know what to do!
