Welcome to the July News from Gyroscope!

So many things to report this time around Gyrofiends! Tours, singles, videos, photos and a whole swath of Gyroscope goodness to help you claw through winter (or summer, wherever this finds you)

Firstly let us extend our thanks to all the fantastic crowds that well and truly turned it out for Gyroscope's huge Cohesion Tour. By all reports the shows were a mess of sweaty, singing bodies and a truly rockin' time was had by band and fans alike. With some solid backing from supports The Vasco Era and After the Fall, we hope it was well worth to wait to see the Gyro's pull out all the stops (and even some never before heard live album tracks!) Here are some links to photos & reviews.

For anybody who missed out on Cohesion Tour merch in the thick of it, there will be some items from the tour available at the Official Gyroscope Merch store ( http://www.fist2face.com.au/?gyroscope) in the next week or two. We shall keep you posted.

Jam packed right in the middle of the Cohesion Tour, the Gyro's packed their wares and headed off to Wollongong for the filming of their very exciting Channel [V] Live show. The Waves venue was jam packed with lucky fans who managed to scoop up the winners tickets, and the amazing Channel [V] set made it one special show indeed. We hear the boys even chucked in a sneaky Nirvana cover. Missed out? The show is being aired on Channel [V] a bunch of times this month, head to www.vmusic.com.au for details.

If that is simply not enough of a Gyroscope visual delight for you, fair enough. There is always more. If you haven't seen the very adorable video for current single Baby, I'm Gettin' Better then you can do so here. What's more is that there is a behind the scenes of the video now streaming on the killer Gyroscope website. Find out how it was made and watch the boys talking about it at http://www.gyroscope.com.au/. Our buddies at iTunes are peddling a very sweet deal as we speak, where you can buy the Baby, I'm Gettin' Better single PLUS the video for the track for a meagre $1.69. Hit that deal up right here: http://itunes.apple.com/au/album/baby-im-gettin-better-single/id375152099

Keeping the live ball rolling (as usual) Gyroscope brought out their show for two special intimate performances in Melbourne and Perth courtesy of Nova. The Melbourne date took place in an aeroplane hanger (and had Dan rockin' it from the wing of a very old plane!) while the Perth show went down at the iconic Astor Theatre. If you missed those shows you can take a squiz at photos form the Astor date right here: http://www.novafm.com.au/Nova937/Photo_Gyroscope-Live-at-the-Astor_133457

Oh, and now onto live recordings! If you cast your minds back a little earlier in the year you'll remember that Gyroscope played Triple J's annual One Night Stand, this year in Alice Springs. Well, it was aired as Triple J's Live at the Wireless last month. If you want to live (or re-live) the live moments then head over to the Triple J website (http://www.triplej.net.au/) to listen to some lovely live sounds courtesy Gyroscope.

There are some more killer live moments to come, with Gyroscope poised to take to stages in Coolangatta, Cairns, Rockhampton, Penrith and more over the coming months! Get down to a show if you can, we promise that you will not regret it. All tour dates for your excitement below as always.

Wow, a huge haul of things have been presented for you this month. We hope you're not too overwhelmed, and that you will stick around for next month as we bring you the very best and most thrilling Gyroscope related news.

Love,
GYRO HQ xx

Add Image Add Video BRAND NEW SINGLE 'BABY I'M GETTIN' BETTER'

COHESION TOUR JUST AROUND THE CORNER!

Alrighty, the second single from Gyroscope's mighty Cohesion album is coming your way, and it's Baby, I'm Gettin' Better. Taken from the #3 ARIA debuting record Cohesion, Baby I'm Gettin' Better is one of the most uplifting and energising (not to mention downright fun!) tracks from the album. We're sure you already know that already. What you probably don't know is that the song began as something of a country ditty before the band and Gil Norton (producer extraordinaire) crafted it into the lovable pop rock track it is today.

Baby I'm Gettin' Better - hits iTunes Friday June 4th

Now, no doubt Baby (as we like to call it around here) will be getting it's stellar live debut at one of the dates on the ever approaching and massively exciting Cohesion Tour. These tickets are truly beginning to heat up as the dates draw near. With Melbourne darlings The Vasco Era & long time Sydney buddies After the Fall in tow we can see why! Tickets are on sale right now, so be sure to hit them up right here before it's too late.

Of course what would make a new single even more exciting than a video? Yep - trusty Myspace are premiering the eye popping new video for Baby I'm Gettin' Better as we speak. Check out the guys running all over Sydney town in mind boggling live stop action by clicking the link below.

BABY I'M GETTIN' BETTER VIDEO

Well, that's enough excitement for this mailer. We're looking forward immensely to the Cohesion Tour finally kicking off, only two weeks to go now!

Love,

Gyro HQ xx

Gyroscope May News


Welcome to the Gyroscope May News.


Well, things have certainly been stepped up a notch in Gyroscope land during the past month. We here at Gyroscope HQ are super excited by everything that has gone down and is set to go down. All things Gyroscope are now moving forward at a thrilling pace. So here goes...

Gyroscope's fourth album Cohesion has now finally been released far and wide. To celebrate it's release (you might have got wind) the band will be hitting the road on their huge Cohesion Tour. Taking in some very beautiful venues this June, Gyroscope will be taking along Melbourne upstarts The Vasco Era in addition to Sydney stalwarts After the Fall. In a special treat for home-state audiences, local heroes Break Even will take over support duties for WA. The band are ready to bring their famous killer live show to audiences from Bunbury to Canberra. We hear they will be pulling out tracks from Cohesion for the first time alongside well-worn crowd favourites. Tickets are on sale now! All dates are below for your excitement, and tickets can be scooped up via Ticketek:
www.ticketek.com.au - 132 849.

Now that Cohesion is stocked up in stores all over the country we trust that you are enjoying it as much as we are! The great news is that Cohesion debuted at a huge #3 on the ARIA charts! It's second week out it held fast at a fairly awesome #10.


April 9th also saw the band play a special acoustic in-store at 78 Record's in Perth. which everybody was very happy with. We have been sent some great photos by fans, and it seems like a good time was had by all. Fasterlouder were kind enough to send along a snapper to capture all the action for those who couldn't be there. All the photos can be found here.

Not only can you now score Cohesion on CD or via iTunes, you can have it in vinyl format - and trust us, it looks beautiful! If you don't believe us, check it out
here.

Vinyl not your thing? Perhaps television is...Gyroscope will be appearing on this weeks' episode of the newly returned Hey Hey It's Saturday! The band will be joining the show to play the first single from Cohesion Some of the Places I Know. Keep your eyes on the Hey Hey website later on this week as the band will also be playing a second track just for the live audience. Hey Hey It's Saturday goes live to air this Wednesday at 7.30pm on Channel 9.


Way back in March, as we are sure you all know Gyroscope rocked Alice Springs on the very massive Triple J One Night Stand. Check out this backstage video of the guys that we dug up on the Triple J website over here.

It was announced a couple of weeks back that the second single to be lifted from Cohesion will be Baby, I'm Gettin' Better The lifting rock track should be hitting your radios real soon, so keep your ears out for it. Even better, filming of the video has wrapped up and we should have it ready for you in the next week or two. If you have yet to feast your eyes upon the stunning video for Some of the Places I Know - have a look at the Gyroscope Youtube! www.youtube.com/gyroscope

For now, if you're really diggin' the sounds of Some of the Places I Know, then vote for it on the Hot 30! Here is a whole swag of links to vote for it wherever you might be in Australia.

We'll be keeping the exciting news coming your way in the next issue of the Gyroscope news, so stay tuned for more.

Love,
Gyro HQ xx

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)
