Gyroscope December News

Welcome to the December News from



Yes, this is the final 2010 news update from Gyroscope, and what a colossal year this has been for the band! Not only did the bands rockin' fourth album Cohesion debut at a massive #3 on the ARIA charts, their stupidly catchy Baby, I'm Gettin' Better single has gone gold and beyond. Many thanks to all of you dedicated Gyro-nerds who have supported the band through one more incredible year.

Something that Gyroscope have also delivered on this year is the huge shows they have been pulling out all over the country. They have been keeping the good times coming this past month, including a massive
JD Set performance at WA's stunning Rottnest Island last weekend. With headlining duties being filled by The Living End, the Gyro's put on a great show right by the seaside. We hear Dan even scarpered off into the sea mid set for some very wet riffage, sweet! We don't have photos of that just yet but there are a few to be checked out here.

Moving on - Gyroscope have announced a great big Christmas show at Studio 146 in
Albany, WA. on December 26th (supported by Homebrewe) They have also let it be known that the Gyro machine will be headlining some great shows in Victoria come February (supported by locals Fangs) Tickets for both shows are on sale right now, so snap yours up and get excited right here: www.oztix.com.au / 1300 762 545

Of course, there are plenty of other opportunities to see the Gyros do their thing as summer well and truly sets in. The last time Gyroscope fronted up to perform at the
Pyramid Rock Festival a couple of years back they were buffeted with heavy rain and strong winds, but the weather did little to dampen the bands energetic live show, this time around things can only get better and more exciting! And of course there is the annual travelling circus that is the awesome Big Day Out tour. Things just keep moving ahead for Gyroscope, and we hope you manage to catch up with them over summer!

Now, to round out this end of year message - bargains! Our friends at Fist 2 Face are running a
Gyroscope Official Merch Store Christmas sale! It kicks off in the coming week or so and there will be some great Gyro bargains going, so be sure to check it out at: www.fist2face.com.au/?gyroscope. Alternatively, if you wish to give the gift of Gyroscope to a loved one this holiday season, we strongly recommend you get them onto Cohesion at iTunes. With a bonus track and customer reviews like "Gyroscope = EXTREME AWESOME" and "Sounds like the orgasm of a million angels" how could you possibly go wrong?

Well, that's all for this year of 2010. Bucketloads of fun and interesting Gyro related things coming your way as soon as the new year takes hold.

Much love!
Gyro HQ xx

Gyroscope November News



Welcome to the November News

Alright Gyro-fiends, we have some great and exciting t
hings to present to you this time around. The Gyro's have been busy as usual, and we have been following in their wake collecting all kinds of exciting content. But first things first - the Baby I'm Gettin' Better single has gone GOLD! We would like to extend our fondest thanks to all of you who have gotten behind both the single and the Cohesion album. Great work everybody!

Firstly, most locals must be aware by now that the Gyros brought their famous live show to the fore at Perth's Aberdeen St Oktoberfest last month. Seems like things got a little rowdy as the band documented their day via photos on Twitter & Facebook. Check out what a show day is like for the band by taking a squizz at
www.twitter.com/gyroscopemusic.More photos from that show here.

Western Australia sure is being spoilt Gyro-wise of late, with yet another mammoth announcement made - Gyroscope will be joining the mighty The Living End and one lucky winning band in the final JD Set performance of the year. As if this is not good news enough, it's all taking place in the stunning surrounds of Rottnest Island. Tickets are limited (and cheap!) and the promoters are offering discounted ferry ticket options. All the details for that one here:
www.thejdset.com.au

The rest of Australia, however
, is hardly being neglected. Two particularly mouth watering Victorian shows have just been announced. Gyroscope will hit Ferntree Gully Hotel on February 24th and Frankston's Pier Live on February 25th - these shows may be a ways away but don't be fooled, tickets are on sale already. Local upstarts Fangs will be holed up as support and they are so snap up tickets at Oztix: www.oztix.com.au / 1300 762 545.

Amongst the myriad of other opportunities to see the Gyroscope live show there is the Pyramid Rock Festival, Tasmania's MS Fest and of course, the 2011 Big Day Out Tour. All dates below - don't miss the Gyroscope live wagon this summer.


In non-touring news for a moment, Rob took time out last week to step into the shoes of a radio host. He stepped up to the microphone on Nova Perth's breakfast show, and by the looks of these photos he had a damn fine time doing it.


We think Gyroscope have produced some great videos to accompany the singles from Cohesion - and we hope you agree. This Saturday voting will begin for the annual RAGE Top 50 - allowing you to vote to your little hearts content for Gyroscope! You know you want to, right here:
www.abc.net.au/rage/

On the subject of videos, we'll leave you with something to giggle at this time around. Check out the various bloopers and awkward moments captured behind the scenes of Gyroscope's What Do I Know About Pain video. We think that kind of cold would make anybody a little delirious, check out the action here.

More Gyro news coming your way next month as always.
Love,

Gyro HQ xx

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

Gyroscope September News



Well, August certainly was a busy and exciting portion of the year for our dear Gyroscope, and as such we have a news update teeeming with developments and interesting bits and pieces for you to cast your eyes and ears upon. Ready? Go.

Something that has accompanied Cohesion in a very, uh, Cohesive manner is the stunning video clips that have graced both television and computer screens the country over. First, the stark hot beauty of the West Australian desert for
Some of the Places I Know. Then there was the equally amusing and eye boggling stop motion adventure that was Baby, I'm Gettin' Better. Now we think you will truly delighted with the tense, snowy momentum of the What Do I Know About Pain video.

We don't want to ruin it for you, so will just have to make sure you check out Video Hits tomorrow morning, who will be premiering the video alongside an interview with the boys. If you want to satisfy at least some of your curiosity right now, there are some swell behind the scenes photos to be seen at Fasterlouder.
Now, if the thought of how painstaking the stop-motion Baby, I'm Gettin' Better video must have been to put together (shot in 14 locations over two days and comprised of over 2,500 still images) then you should tell people you're impressed! The fine folks at Deepend have been nominated for an IF Award for the video, and you can support them by clicking here and voting for it. We sure did.

Well, from videos onto shows now. Gyroscope are poised to bring some of their brashest, noisiest antics to the Hunter Valley for the Funk n Grooves Festival this weekend. Rounding out the bill will some of the countries finest such as Spiderbait, British India, Urthboy, Bertie Black and more. Some tickets still available via
www.funkngrooves.com.au so hop to it!

Then it's sights back to home state Western Australia for a period. Gyro's will be headed all the way up to stunning Broome to tear apart The Roey on October 1st followed by what will be a very merry Oktoberfest celebration in Aberdeen Street (tickets for that one via
www.eatingwa.com.au)

Festival news just keeps on rolling out as the summer begins to poke it's head over the horizon. With it comes the very fantastic news that Gyroscope will be packing up and heading over to Victoria for the annual Pyramid Rock Festival. This is one truly bumper line-up including NERD, Chromeo, The Temper Trap, Arrested Development and ute load more. Tickets on sale 9.00am next Tuesday September 14th, and with the rate festivals have been selling of late we suggest you get in quick!

We will leave you with the great news that Daniel & Zok dropped by trusty triple j a couple of weeks back to perform a Like A Version with Tom and Alex. Not only did the boys perform an acoustic version of Baby, I'm Gettin' Better, they busted out a beautiful cover of Bob Marley's classic Redemption Song. But watch this killer video for yourself at the triple j website.

And lastly, did we mention that some of the merch designs from the Cohesion Tour are now for sale at the Gyroscope Official Merch Store? Well, they are, so if you missed out at the shows you can peruse the merchandise right here: www.fist2face.com.au/?gyroscope.

That's it for now. All things Gyro sure are going to heat up with the weather. So plenty more to come soon.

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.
