Mistletone, triple j and Street Press Australia present Beach House, returning to Australia in the wake of their majestic fourth album Bloom. Beach House bring their epic live show to the art deco surrounds of The Tivoli Theatre on Friday, January 11. Tickets on sale now from The Tivoli website or Ticketek, phone 132 849.

Beach House’s Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally have personally chosen Melbourne’s Wintercoats, a/k/a one man chamber pop orchestra James Wallace, as sole support for their theatre shows. Having just returned from an extensive UK/European tour, playing Torstrassen Festival (Berlin) & Laboratorium festival (Heidelberg, Germany) showcasing for Cascine + The 405 in London, and with a debut album in the works, Wintercoats is a sublime match for Beach House’s stately and epic live show.

Already starring in many “best albums of 2012″ lists, Bloom is the fourth album by Beach House, a/k/a Baltimore duo Alex Scally and Victoria Legrand.  A sublime experience matched only by the intensity of Beach House’s stunning live show, Bloom offers a singular, unified vision of the world.  The album transcends the banality of simple emotions to arrive at a realm of honesty and complexity, and soberly reveals how frightening and temporary, yet beautiful, our existence is.

The devotion of Beach House’s growing community of listeners has deepened with each album (Beach House: 2006, Devotion: 2008 and Teen Dream: 2010, all released locally on Mistletone Records). The heady atmosphere of Beach House’s performance, coupled with the power of Victoria Legrand’s incredible voice, make every Beach House concert a swoon-inducing shared space, laden with romance and heightened emotions.

It’s with great love that we announce Sharon Van Etten + her awesome band will play Southbound, the super music, camping and arts festival in beautiful Busselton, Western Australia. Tickets on sale now from the festival website.

Singer, songwriter, collaborator and incredibly captivating performer, the irrepressible Sharon Van Etten is nothing short of indie rock royalty. Her debut album Because I Was In Love came in 2009, accompanied by the sound of critics fawning the world over. Follow up Epic (2010) and this year’s Tramp (released locally through Inertia Music) have only solidified this reputation.

Produced by The National’s Aaron Dessner, Tramp features guest appearances by Zach Condon (aka Beirut), Bryce Dessner (also of The National) and Jenn Wasner of Wye Oak, proving that the best and brightest of American indie rock are lining up to get their prints on a Sharon Van Etten record. Her live show is just as inclusive – so make sure you’re there with us this summer as she brings her magic to our shores.

SHARON VAN ETTEN @ THE ZOO WEDNESDAY JANUARY 2 with special guests Little Scout + Heather Woods Broderick (USA). Tickets on sale now from The Zoo & all Oztix outlets.

Mistletone and 4ZZZ present the first Australian tour by Brooklyn-based Sharon Van Etten. Singer, songwriter, collaborator and incredibly captivating performer, the irrepressible Sharon Van Etten is nothing short of indie rock royalty. Backed by her stunning three piece band, Sharon will showcase her bittersweet songs with all their raw intimacy and dramatic sweep at The Zoo on Wednesday 2 January with special guests Little Scout. And as a special treat for Brisbane audiences, Heather Woods Broderick from Sharon’s band will perform an opening solo set.

Heather Woods Broderick (pictured below) is a disarming and resonant musician and composer who has released solo material under her own name and as a member of Efterklang, Horse Feathers and Loch Lomond; she’s been part of Laura Gibson’s backing band and has recorded with the likes of Blitzen Trapper and M Ward. Growing up in the relative quiet of the Maine countryside while learning a range of instruments and being sung to sleep by her parents playing folk songs, natural and rural sounds became central to Heather’s sense of song, falling into a deeply personal realm. The subtlety and nuance in Heather’s music also comes from her inclination towards ambient and experimental sounds, conjuring atmosphere equally with the striking melodies at the core of her songs. Her solo album From The Ground (featuring Heather’s brother, Peter Broderick) was released on Sydney-based label, Preservation. She also makes a guest appearance on Slay Me In My Sleep, the sixth album from Melbourne’s Grand Salvo.

It’s with great love that we announce Sharon Van Etten + her awesome band will play Falls Music and Arts Festival. The Lorne festival has completely now sold out, tickets for Marion Bay on sale from The Falls website. With Beach House already announced for The Falls lineup, it’ll be a New Year to remember for us Mistletonians.
