The Grates are visiting Byron Bay as part of their record launch tour. I’ve enjoyed them each time I’ve seen them at Splendour, my kids are fans - so their CD is on high rotation in our car.

If you’ve seen them before - I’m sure you’ll try and catch their show at the Northern on October 5.

Here’s what their press release had to say;

The Grates’ live shows have now become stuff of legend. Patience’s dancing style has its own patent, Alana’s smile is always infectious and John is the captain of their musician-ship. You never know quite what to expect, as Winter Wonderlands, party balloons and colourful capers fill the stage. Their recent Surprise Parties where the unusual locations weren’t revealed until 48 hours before the show are testimony to the fact that The Grates never stick to the norm!

With their upcoming new album “Teeth Lost, Hearts Won” already getting young hearts a flutter ahead of its early August release, The Grates get ready to give fans a coronary with the announce of a major national tour throughout October.
