Music News: Renee Cassar announces headlining shows!

 
Posted on November 13 2009
Following the release of her debut single, ITS NOT YOU, and a sold-out national tour with break-through band, the Sundance Kids, Australia’s newest rocking talent - Renee Cassar - is headlining back out on the road in December with her five piece band, for two special headline shows.

“Having just finished a tour with the wonderful Sundance Kids, I’m wrapped to be heading straight back out with my band again for a couple of headline shows. A perfect way to end a head-spin-of-a-year, catch up with fans and drink one too many vodka and pineapple juices. So come down and lets get our naked-on people.”

Renee comes rocking and rolling straight out of the box, sounding like she’s been making great pop/rock records her entire life. In fact, she has only had an independent EP to her credit up until now, albeit it a fantastic debut EP she sold at her shows, produced by Powderfinger’s Darren Middleton [who also makes a guest appearance here on the new album] and featured the track Dreary Day [which was picked up by Triple J, Channel [V] and Rage].

Yet Renee has already established herself an enormous fanbase all across the world in the short time since she first picked up a guitar and unveiled this powerful, unique vocal talent of hers. Think a mix between a young Alanis Morissette and a clean-living Courtney Love. If only the young Renee Cassar had a dollar for every play she scored through her MySpace page so far, she would be a very rich young lady: Renee’s MySpace play-count is, believe it or not, just about to top the 7.5 million mark and counting.

From the solitude of her bedroom in the outer suburbs of Melbourne, Renee quietly and tirelessly worked away on perfecting her edgy, heart-felt pop/rock songs and personally taking them to the world, long before a record company or manager or publisher came along. Even before signing to anyone or anything, Renee’s self-generated MySpace success led to her selling an extraordinary 18,000 downloads through iTunes.

But once the good folk at MySpace labelled Renee as Australia’s Number One unsigned talent, a title she incredibly held onto for a year, it was inevitable that everyone would come knocking on that bedroom door. It all fell together in a couple of months, says the effervescent 22-year-old singer of her step up into the majors. I think it was just fate I was meant to be with the team that I’ve got around me right now. Good old MySpace it’ll help you along, she laughs.

If you haven’t heard of her yet, prepare to be blown away by the remarkable talent of Renee Cassar with her brilliant debut album, LIVE & LEARN due for release in early 2010 through Island Records Australia. Everyone will soon agree that she is without question one of the music world’s great new finds of 2009.

Dates are:

Wednesday December 9 - Melbourne – Northcote Social Club
Thursday December 10 - Sydney – Oxford Arts Factory
