CHARLIE MAYFAIR ANNOUNCE SPRING TOUR

August 17th, 2012 | By

As the saying goes – good things come to those who wait. Charlie Mayfair may have taken a little extra time to hit the touring trail following the release of their Fall In Time EP, but after a sold-out Brisbane launch show, the band are now happy to announce they’ll be taking their newly-evolved sound to the live arena with their most commanding shows to date, kicking-off in Melbourne on September 15.

Stepping out for the first time as a quartet, sans the male accompanying vocal of recently departed member Dave Di Marco, the shows will see Hannah Shepherd step into the role as the fiery front woman and solo lead vocalist for the group.

The tour also follows the rousing success of the band’s most recent single ‘Waste Me’ – impeccably crafted and bolstered by a feverish delivery and one of the year’s most gloriously haunting videos – the track certainly shows Charlie Mayfair in a brand new light, paving the way to an exciting new stage.

Joining the touring trek for all five shows is the sweet pop strokes of The Falls, the Sydney-siders join the fold on the back of a recently sold-out hometown show and their splendid single, ‘Home’.

“There is really nothing to fault with Charlie Mayfair’s Fall In Time EP. It is a dark, well-constructed affair that sees the band reach new and impressive heights both in terms of delivery and craftsmanship. This is folk-pop at it best.” The Dwarf
