Talk about epic.
2009 was a HUGE year for Calling All Cars – the lads from Melbourne saw themselves supporting Aussie heavyweights Cog and The Butterfly Effect nationally, their two first singles were added to high rotation on triple j, they zipped across the Tasman to support Greenday in New Zealand and as an early Christmas present, Calling All Cars were bestowed with the greatest honour any Australian band could wish for; supporting AC/DC nationally! \m/ Full Story >>
Jupiter expands whatever he touches. In the New Year he’s already expanded my waistline or maybe that was the holiday feasting.
In 2010 Jupiter will oversee the release of British India’s new album entitled Avalanche on April 16th. From the tunes us lucky Shiny folk have heard Avalanche will be astronomical!!!
The first single ‘Beneath The Satellites’ will drop on iTunes on February 12th and the boys are celebrating with select single launches in March. Check out the newly announced gigs here.
The stars are on British India’s side, you should be too.
Happy Xmas, Happy New Year, Happy Everything!

The west facing Main Stage of the festival bore the full force of the extreme Westerly that brought fierce winds, heavy rain, lightning and thunder to the finale of the three day Phillip Island music festival.
The Main Stage suffered major damage to vital lighting and effects systems that could not be restored in time to bring in the New Year. All effort was made to reinstate the appropriate and acceptable standard of stage production levels to the Main Stage area without success, prompting festival organisers arranging to re-locate the four remaining main stage headline acts for the night from the Main Stage to the Pharaoh’s Annex tent.
