The Sydney boys are heading over to the US of A for three dates before returning to Australia, then heading over to South Africa and then a 30 date U.K. tour where the band have been getting rave reviews. This makes this a four-continent tour.Australian fans had better catch them while they can on their brief foray around the country surrounding their appearance at Splendour in the Grass at the end of the month, or be forever doomed to wait an eternity.
