Gyroscope October News


Welcome to the October News from


Well, it's pretty hot over in Perth right now, but it doesn't appear to be slowing the Gyroscope juggernaut down in the slightest. There has been such great news coming through in the past couple of weeks that things won't be cooling down for quite some time.

Firstly, in perhaps the most exciting news announced in some time; Gyroscope will proudly join the travelling circus that will be the BIG DAY OUT 2011! Capping off a big summer, Gyroscope will be playing alongside the likes of such musical luminaries as Tool, Rammstein, Iggy and the Stooges, MIA and of course some of Australia's finest talent like Wolfmother, Birds of Tokyo and Angus & Julia Stone. Tickets on sale on different days this year, so hit www.bigdayout.com to make sure you have all the info to see Gyroscope hit the Big Day Out stage for the second time.

Of course there are still plenty of opportunities to see the famed Gyro live show in the lead-up to the Big Day Out. Following a sweltering show upin Broome this past weekend, the band will be raising the roof at a home-town Perth show later this month. Gyroscope will be getting festive at the Aberdeen St Oktoberfest celebrations on October 24th, check out all info here. For fans on the east coast there is the annual Pyramid Rock Festival getting loud over New Years, all info for that one here (another excellent line-up there!) It's been some time since the Gyroscope machine has ventured south to Tasmania, but Launceston's MS Fest will be bringing them to those parts in February. All details for that to be found here. Wow, a whole load of touring news for you this time around!

Next up? Well, we know that Gyroscope fans are famed for their very loyal support of the band, and this is a call out for more of it! Gyroscope have made the Top 50 cut in the 2010 Channel [V] Oz Artist Competition, and they cannot proceed without your votes. Show your support by voting here, and tune into Channel [V] on October 16th to see whether they hit the Top 4. Fingers crossed.

We mentioned this in the last installment of the Gyro news, but we are just so happy with this that we're plugging it again. It's the What Do I Know About Pain? video, and it's tense, striking and exciting. If you have yet to check it out or feel the need to do so again then you can do that right here.

And to round out this relatively brief but news-packed October mailer; a photo of Dan playing whilst standing on a brand new car. Gyroscope played a special winners party last month in Sydney and Nova managed to snap some pretty awesome photos. Check it out.

Okay, that's all until next month. Stay safe.
Love,
Gyro HQ xx
