Ned Collette will follow in the footsteps of The Devastations, HTRK, Sparkadia and most recently Grand Salvo when he relocates to Berlin next year.
The Melbourne singer-songwriter, who recently released his third album Over The Stones, Under The Stars with backing band Wirewalker, said he plans to relocate to Germany in March ahead of a European tour.
“I suspect I’ll probably write the remainder of the next Wirewalker album over there, come back here [Australia], record that, but also in the meantime start turning over some new ideas,” he told M+N in a recent interview. “The plan is at least all of next year and then see what happens. It’s a well-trodden path.” Full interview here.
In the meantime, Collette will attend to some local business when he launches his new LP at the North St Bar in Bateman’s Bay, NSW, tomorrow (November 20). The show is part of an east-coast tour that includes stops in Sydney, Melbourne and Hobart. Dates below.
Over The Stone, Under The Stars is out now through Dot Dash.

Dear Ned Collette, Devastations, HTRK, Sparkadia and Grand Salvo,
Could you please tell me a bit about the working visa we Australians need for the Berlin move?
thanks you anyone.
Melbourne just aint cool enough any more.
did this guy record anything good this year? worth a nomination?
Maybe i'm tripping but why the fuck would you move to berlin for music opportunities?
it was all about shitty food and stern people playing glitch-core last I was there.
Happy to be corrected but
why run an award when you obviously don't follow the music scene you propose to be supporting?
we cant be on top of every single release as they pop out shaun.
This is why we ask folks to nominate.
