NO RUBENS FOR TASMANIA THIS WEEKEND…BOOOO

We are sending our fondest get well wishes to Sam from The Rubens who has gone down for the count with a horrible bout of tonsillitis. All the penicillin in the world couldn’t help him in time for this weekend, so on doctor’s orders The Rubens have to regretfully pull out of this weekend’s shows in Launceston and Hobart. We’ll miss them, but see them back in the saddle for the Victorian shows next week.

The upside is that the ludicrously talented Mr. Steve Smyth will now assume the main support slot, and blow minds slightly later in the evening than previously scheduled.

Lanie is excited beyond comprehension and totally knocked out by the news that her first two shows at The Corner in Melbourne, and HER show at the Metro in Sydney on the upcoming ‘Bangity Bang’ May tour have SOLD OUT.

Tickets have also sold out for the show at Meeniyan Town Hall, and are going along at a merry clip in every other city, so thankyou to each and every one of you have stumped up your hard earned cash to buy a ticket – it’s VERY EXCITING.

New shows have now been added in both cities: The Corner in Melbourne on Monday May 28 and The Metro in Sydney on Saturday June 2. Tickets for The Corner are available here, and for The Metro here.

She’s looking forward to creating a similarly memorable experience all throughout May and can’t wait to see you at a show.

Brian Setzer – Fremantle Show Announcement

Due to illness Lanie will not be appearing at Brian Setzer’s Rockabilly Riot this Saturday night at Fremantle Arts Centre in WA. Replacing Lanie for the Fremantle show only will be local Perth band, Day of the Dead. Apologies for any disappointment folks. Lanie is expecting to perform in Adelaide this coming Monday 26th March and continue on with the rest of the tour dates as planned.

Thanks SxSW

Thanks to everyone who came out to Lanie’s SXSW shows over the past week, they were a blast, and it was great to see you all.

The Longest Line Up To Get In to A Show award goes to Third Man, no competition. The photo here barely does it the two or three blocks justice it deserves.

Lanie now gets on the big silver bird back home to Australia to begin her tour supporting the legendary Mr. Brian Setzer in Perth on Saturday 24th of March, hope to see you there or thereabouts real soon.
