News: Bob Evans to support Eskimo Joe on national dates
Following the release of his third album ‘Goodnight, Bull Creek!’ and his own national headline tour, Bob Evans has decided to help out his fellow West Australian friends Eskimo Joe and support them on the ‘Inshalla Australian Tour’ from July to September.
Bob has just finished the clip for his latest single ‘Pasha Bulker (Where Did I Go Wrong?)’. The narrative video clip was filmed in Sydney Harbour and can be viewed here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRm8UMNdLGk
Of the song ‘Pasha Bulker’ Bob says, “It’s referring to the massive ship that ran aground during a storm in Newcastle. I remember seeing photos of it on Nobbys Beach and being blown away by this image of a giant ship washed up on a little surf beach. I used it as a very vague metaphor for writing a song about feeling a bit lost at sea.”
Bob will be taking his full band on the road and tickets for the tour are on sale now for the following dates:
Wednesday July 29: Wollongong University, Wollongong NSW Thursday July 30: Hordern Pavilion, Sydney NSW – ALL AGES Friday July 31: Newcastle Panthers NSW Saturday August 1: ANU, Canberra ACT Thursday August 13: Thebarton Theatre, Adelaide SA Saturday August 15: Fremantle Arts Centre, Fremantle WA ***SOLD OUT Sunday August 16: Fremantle Arts Centre, Fremantle WA Saturday August 22: Riverstage, Brisbane QLD Monday August 24: Moncrief Theatre, Bundaberg QLD – ALL AGES Tuesday August 25: Gladstone PCYC, Gladstone QLD - ALL AGES Wednesday Aug 26: Pilbeam Theatre, Rockhampton QLD - ALL AGES Thursday August 27: Mackay Entertainment Centre, Mackay QLD - ALL AGES Friday August 28: Brothers Leagues Club, Cairns QLD – 15+ Saturday August 29: Townsville Entertainment Centre, Townsville QLD ALL AGES Wed September 2: Hobart City Hall, Hobart TAS - ALL AGES Thurs September 3: Albert Hall, Launceston TAS - ALL AGES
