An important message from Gyroscope


It has just come to our attention that Warner Music are releasing a ‘Best of Gyroscope’ album. We only found out about this release after being notified by our fans on Facebook.

The song selection, artwork and everything about this release has been done without consultation with the band.

Gyroscope are a band who have always put our fans first. In our opinion, the release of this album without consultation with the band, and without including any material from our new album ‘Cohesion’, does not represent good value for our fans.

Zok, Daniel, Brad & Rob (Gyroscope)

GYROSCOPE - 'COHESION' TOUR


‘COHESION’ NATIONAL TOUR - JUNE 2010

COHESION: - noun 1. The act or state of cohering, uniting, or sticking together.

Rarely has an album title ever rung as true as this most recent offering from Perth rock stalwarts Gyroscope. Gyroscope's status as one of Australia's premiere rock acts has now been solidified, as Cohesion enjoys a huge #3 debut on the ARIA charts! With fourth album Cohesion Gyroscope finally translate the famed rawness of their live show into a recorded, tangible tour de force.

Having packed rooms on their whirlwind and very noisy Some of the Places I Know tour throughout March, Gyroscope is now preparing to take things up a notch, on June’s Cohesion Tour! To celebrate the release of this rock’n’roll opus, Gyroscope will be shaking up some of the largest and most beautiful venues they have ever been fortunate enough to tread the boards in.

In true Gyroscope form, true Gyroscope fanatics can get in on the action before everybody else. All you need to do is head to www.gyroscope.com.au and sign up to the Gyroscope mailing list before 5.00pm Wednesday April 21st to take part in a special ticket pre-sale. You'll be emailed the secret code to take part in the Cohesion tour pre-sale. sure to jump in quick smart for tickets, these dates will see Gyroscope performing not only their tried and true crowd pleasing favourites, but also a hefty helping of selections from Cohesion, a few of them for the very first time!

Joining Gyroscope on this noisy jaunt around the country will be Melbourne's The Vasco Era and Sydney's After the Fall. With a reputation for tireless live shows, The Vasco Era are riding along on the recent release of their brand new album Lucille and ready to shake some stages. The After the Fall lads have hit the trails with Gyroscope several times in the past, and are sure to be a fantastic, rounding out this huge bill. Meanwhile, WA dates will see local trouble-makers Break Even step up to the plate on support duties.

The force of Gyroscope live is truly something to be reckoned with; there are few that would dispute this. Drum Media but recently remarked in raptures “this band plays a world class rock show that is only getting better with age.” We couldn’t have put it better ourselves.
