Amy Meredith support Cobra Starship
Sydney 5-piece Amy Meredith can add two more generous notches to the proverbial bedpost after landing support slots with two massive international acts just weeks before the release of their debut single.
The boys will be in acoustic mode at The Factory Theatre in Sydney tonight, Monday 3rd November, setting the scene for a sold-out, unplugged performance from Benji and Joel Madden of pop-rock juggernaut Good Charlotte.
Looking forward into The Future (aka: 2010), Amy have been invited to join the interstellar pairing of Cobra Starship and Owl City, adding a bit of local dirt to Cobra Starship's 'Hot Mess' tour.
This massive score for Amy Meredith is very welcome after a year of hard graft in '09. Between constant gigging and almost obsessively documenting their jaunts online (check out their website to catch up on the happenings!) Amy have been polishing tracks for their debut release on Sony Music Australia.
Recorded on the central coast with Grammy Award winning engineer Brian Paturalski and with mixing duties from the one and only Mark Needham, the 5 piece are very close to sharing their labour of love with the world. You'll get a taste of the final results when Amy Meredith release their debut single, Pornstar, to radio on November 9th.

Tuesday 16 March: UNSW Roundhouse, Sydney NSW (All Ages) Wednesday 17 March: The Tivoli, Brisbane QLD (All Ages) Friday 19 March: The Hi-Fi, Melbourne VIC (18+) Saturday 20 March: The Hi-Fi, Melbourne VIC (U-18) Sunday 21 March: Metro City, Perth WA (All Ages

If we were hanging with you and your band backstage, what would we be getting up to?
If you were nice you would be served a glass of vintage port wine or our house cocktail Champari, we would play you a wide selection of hit songs through Carl’s twin amp and suggest we exchange knowledge of our respective continents’ wildlife. If we found your company unpleasant in any way one of us would utter our safe word and our tour manager would appear like a thief in the night to escort you outside.
If you could request anything on your rider what would it be?
A massage therapist and an eco swimming pool.
Give one of your personal favourite bands a plug.
Right now I would say keep your ears open for First Aid Kit, they sing like little angel-trolls.
What's your most essential item to take on tour?
Cell phone
What's your secret talent?
I’m pretty good at building a fire, and rhyming.
AND... Where are we best to stalk you: MySpace, Facebook or Twitter? Which one's updated the most?
I don’t think we have a clear preference out of those three, personally I always encourage old fashioned face to face interaction. Write us a letter or ask us out on a date!
