Gersey To Support Pavement

It’s been two years since they’ve played a live show, but Melbourne’s Gersey will support ’90s icons Pavement on all legs of their upcoming Australian reunion tour.
Kicking off with a sold-out show at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre on March 4, the tour will take in Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane and the Golden Plains festival in rural Victoria before winding up with two shows in Melbourne on March 12 and 14. Of course, the news shouldn’t be much of a surprise given the recent appearance of Gersey members on Spiral Stairs’ most recent solo album, The Real Feel. The band have also backed Spiral on previous Australian tours.
Formed in 1997, Gersey have released a string of acclaimed albums including Hope Springs (2000), Storms Dressed As Stars (2002) and No Satellites (2006). Since then, Daryl Bradie, Danny Tulen and Drew Pearse have performed together as Tall Buildings, while Matt Davis has recorded an album as Bombazine Black. In an interview with M+N last year, Davis said he never considered Gersey a quintessentially Melbourne band. “We were always trying to make timeless international records rather than ‘Melbourne’ records."
Tickets still available from Ticketek.

THAT IS SO GODDAMN UNFAIR
someone forgot their scarf
fuck! the Brixton Academy shows have Broken Social Scene, the Clean, Wooden Shjips and Sic Alps
FUCK
fuck, i need to get to new zealand.
fancy a swim, transientrandom?
indeed!
So not Custard?
should've been milk teddy.
3ds should just play here by emselves. you can have pavement and gersey for all i care. yawn. archers of loaf should reform and tour
3ds for golden plains!
Is it wishful thinking that his time with Bombazine Black will have inspired a return to Gersey's early-noughties style???
Slow it down, man!!
I think the Duke should give Gersey a present as thanks for the inevitable extra earnings.
i recently got in touch with the 3ds about coming to oz. seems their 'current existence' is only temporary and as much as they'd love to hit oz it probs won't happen.
dang!
and this is why i need to start swimming.
YAWN
When I opened this thread I was gonna write ''I can't stand Gersey''....and then I saw this comment at the very top and realised there was no need, it encapsulated everything I wanted to say far, far better.

''I flick my hair at you, sooks who didn't get the support!''
Well I love em !
I was just being cheeky. I would love to have Crow opening. Crow (along with Magic Dirt & Noise Addict) did some supports during that first tour from memory.
yep shame CROW missed out. we did try though...
there were quite few bands with their hats in the ring as you would imagine
in a somewhat consolation, at least for Melby peeps, CROW are headlining the Applecore Festival Sat 20th Feb with (funnily enough considering all this custard talk)
David McCormack & the Polaroids
they were also set to play a double bill show the night before at the Tote, but with news today of the Tote's closing not sure what will happen there, stay tuned
looch, it's been noted that you have appalling taste in music.
first tour (in syd) = crow, screamfeeder, magic dirt (front bar) @ max's peterham .... WOW fucking WOW.
or peterSham even, though peterham sounds cool.
lead singer of Gersey in that piccie looks like lead singer from the Wonderstuff.
i heard spiral stairs does all the booking...when i lived in sydney they got a band kicked off the flaming lips support. malkmus would be embarrassed that they are opening.. i have sucked alot of cock to get where i am. is that a regurgitator song
i thought gersey broke up?
i think that airhead singer dates thairhead head iselect girl .
you'd have to be puffin' muffins to choose another support band
oh hyperfuzz that is a good one
so....spiral stairs does all the booking ? and...spiral stairs is in pavement, no ? in fact a founding member ? and the members of pavement seem to be happy for him to do the booking ? so it is not really about sucking cock, but being liked by the touring band. that seems to be a whole different thing to what normally goes on the industry - ie how we would all probably like it to work ?
which reminds me, i meant to start a thread...
Gee guys, why so much anger towards Gersey? (OK, naff photo but we all do things we regret) Anyway, I may be a lone voice here but their last album was superb. Good to have them back, I say. Maybe it's just me.
Yes it is.
I think people don't like them so much because they squander so much potential with long, boring, quiet, and entirely gay songs. That's all.
storms dressed as stars is a great record.
if your a girl.only girls listen to them..embarrassing..have u listened to the lyrics..he got voted worst lyricist in australia. .along with that guy from grinspoon
Hey boring, yr alrite!
Nah, just boring.
