Welcome to the December News.
Well friendly Gyro fanatics, we are pleased to report that the band have finally arrived home safe and sound from the picturesque
Rockfield Studios, Wales. Trust us, the tidbits of
album #4 that we have been treated to thus far is truly music to our ears (literally!) We are all start
ing to get very excited as things step it up a notch for the Gyro's.
The band wasted no time at all in gearing up and hitting the stage to unleash some new tracks on a
live and captive audience.The lads packed up and hit the road for the the
JD Set dates on
November 20th & 21st, taking in the
Gold Coast and Mona Vale. Joining the Gyros' were local JD Set winners
Comic Sans and
The Salvagers. As promised, Gyroscope delivered two jam packed, sweaty sets to very willing punters, playing some brand new songs from the recently completed record.
We hear the shows were a total blast, with
Sydney's Drum Media raving after the Mona Vale show:
Live, Gyroscope are a band that only knows one setting - flat out - and it's what makes this band the perfect successors in our proud history of Oz Rock. We are very much looking forward to more power packed
Gyroscope sets as things begin to heat up along with the weather. And trust us, not long now until there will be plenty of opportunity to get yourself down to a Gyroscope show and see things for yourself.
After the Mona Vale date,
Rob & Brad took some time out in Sydney town to attend the huge ARIA Awards for 2009. We hear the weather for the
ARIA Awards red carpet was fairly harsh, but that didn't stop Rob and Brad looking their absolute dashing best for their red carpet arrival. Check out
photos from the ceremony
here. If photos are your thing, there are also some brand
new snaps from the
studio and beyond on the
Gyroscope Facebook page. Check them out right here:
www.facebook.com/gyroscopemusic If that isn't enough to satisfy your
Gyro fixation, there is a truly swell interview with
Dan in this months issue of Rolling Stone. Direct from Rockfield, Wales he checked in with RS to discuss how the album was coming along and what a great experience it had been working with producer
Gil Norton. Gil has worked with the likes of the
Foo Fighters, Pixies & Jimmy Eat World. So pretty exciting stuff! Pick it up if you can, there are also some great
pictures from the studio in there.
In some other
show news, only one great big party of a date coming up for Gyroscope.
New Years Eve at
The Capitol in Perth will mark the much loved WA venues'
10th birthday. So get down for not only some Gyroscope action but
The Mess Hall, Young Revelry and Triple J Unearthed winners
