THE VEILS & OH MERCY with WHITE BIRDS & LEMONS

Australians have had a long distance love affair with The Veils since the release of their debut album The Runaway Found and then with the Triple J anthem Advice For Young Mothers To Be from the Nux Vomica album. The last Australian tour saw the band sell out shows in Melbourne and Sydney.

The Veils are Finn Andrews, (vocals, guitar, piano, New Zealand) Sophia Burn, (bass, New Zealand) Dan Raishbrook (guitar, odd noise, England) and Raife Burchell (drums, England). Finns father Barry Andrews was a founding member of the highly influential group XTC in the late 1970s, later going on to tour with the likes of Robert Fripp & Brian Eno, Iggy Pop & David Bowie.

In Sun Gangs The Veils have brought Finns early influences full circle, and created a record that truly lives up to the huge promise and talent that they have always exhibited. Their live shows continue to receive rave reviews throughout the world, with the LA Times recently posting as far as their set last night went, it was probably the most moving, unsettling and unexpectedly haunting thing I've seen in rock music this year terrifying in all the best ways."

Having been fans of the The Veils for a long time, Oh Mercy are pleased to join them as co-headline on their East Coast Australian Tour in November.

Oh Mercy have recently concluded their national 'Privileged Woes' album launch tour, selling out most shows on the epic tour. The Toff In Town show will give Oh Mercy the chance to play an intimate room with one for their favourite bands. These will be Oh Mercy's last club shows before heading out on the summer festival circuit.
