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

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

If we were hanging with you and your band backstage, what would we be getting up to?
We do this stupid… I don’t know what it is. It’s where you put your hands in the middle and do this little cheer on three. (laughs) It’ll change every night. Usually it will be nerdy and dorky. We’ll see what’s happening in that moment. We’ll do a call out and then we’ll yell… we’ll all do it. We do really nerdy stuff.

If you could request anything on your rider what would it be?
Usually there would be chocolate. I’m addicted to chocolate. I’d be eating that. There’d be red wine.

Give one of your personal favourite bands a plug.
Woo. Actually there’s a new band called Vedera. They’ve got a female singer, kind of 90s inspired. I just find it refreshing. Nowadays it’s all about the pop female singer with crazy stuff going on. That’s a good, melodic rock n roll band.

What's your most essential item to take on tour?
I’ve got to take an extra cell phone charger. I always leave my cell phone chargers in the hotel room. I usually have about three or four in my bag. And extra socks. You get dirty socks and there’s nothing like putting on a dirty sock. You look in your bad and there’s this old pair from last week and you have nothing left. (laughs)

What's your secret talent?
I’m a mad ping-pong player. I’ve got to say I’m a self-proclaimed ping-pong warrior and I typically will have tournaments at my house. I have a machine that serves me balls…like a baseball thrower, a ping-pong thrower and I just hit it. I’m kind of a geek when it comes to ping-pong.

AND... Where are we best to stalk you: MySpace, Facebook or Twitter? Which one's updated the most?
I think twitter is probably the best right now. That’s a unique way of connecting with people. I’d pick twitter.
