Aussie rockers British India will hit The Rosemount Hotel on May 28, 2011, for the last time, before they head back into the studio to record their next album.
Singer Declan Melia, guitarist Nic Wilson, bassist Will Drummond and drummer Matt O’Gorman will take to the Rosemount stage to say hello to their Perth fans after a monster year touring the US and the UK.
The garage band from Melbourne formed in high school, and spent the next few years carving out a name for themselves in Australia through relentless touring since 2007 and the release of their debut album Guillotine.
The Triple J darlings have a loyal following in Australia and their shows have been described as “exhaustive and sweat-drenched,” so those looking for a quiet night out, be warned!
The boys’ publicist, Jimmy from Shiny Entertainment, says although they’ve been on the road for months, they’re ready to take-on the Perth gig.
“The US tour went really well. They were there playing some showcase gigs the boys had lined up last year but they’re definitely still enjoying themselves.
“The Perth shows are at the tail-end of the Australian tour they’ve been on since March, but they always give 100 per cent at their shows, so it should be a great night.”
The Rosemount is a live-music Mecca for Perth fans who flock to the old-style hotel on Fitzgerald St in North Perth nearly every night of the week, for the musical offerings dished up.
Perth music appreciator and British India fan, Toby Diamond, says he’s really excited about the gig, not only because of the spectacle that British India always present, but also because of the venue.
“It’s a really sick venue for live music. The room they hold gigs in is always really atmospheric and its nice being able to stroll outside if you need to into the beer garden. I always love heading to the Rosemount for live music.
“British India always play great-fun sets for their fans. Even if the music isn’t exactly to your own taste you can still have a good time because they’re really good on stage. I can’t wait to see them touring off the last album especially," Mr Diamond said.
