As a prelude to The JD Set, two of the band's Angela's Dish and the Hot Lies are going out on tour together.
The tour kicks off on April 10 at the Prince of Wales in Bunbury and takes in dates in Western Australia before heading to Queensland on April 17 then Tasmania on May 2nd.While voting takes place for The JD Set, the Angela's Dish and The Hot Lies tour will give the band a chance to roadtest their material and hopefully take away a place on the Jack Daniel's promoted tour.
The Hot Lies are signed to Liberation Music. Their JD Set blurb says they "exploded late last year with the release of their brilliant debut album, Ringing In The Sane, produced by Phil McKellar (Silverchair, Grinspoon, Kisschasy), which some critics called the Australian album of the year. Born in the Adelaide hardcore scene in 2004, but raised - like all good Aussie bands - on the highways between gigs, The Hot Lies have toured with every big name in punk rock, from Millencolin to My Chemical Romance, Good Charlotte and Sum 41. They've played Taste of Chaos alongside The Used, Big Day Out alongside The White Stripes, Live N Local alongside The Veronicas".
From The JD Set Angelia's Dish info, we learn that they are "A four-piece band of rockers originating from the Central Coast of NSW, Angelas Dish have spent the past couple of months touring Australia in support of their recently released debut album, War On Time, produced by ARIA 'Producer of the Year' David Nicholas (Elton John, INXS, Midnight Oil) and US producer Mark Needham (The Killers, My Chemical Romance). Fronted by brother's Michael and Joshua Harris, Angela's Dish's constant touring has included support slots with the likes of Thirty Seconds to Mars and Thirsty Merc".
