Event Details

Evermore bring their Truth of the World Tour to regional centres in March 2010. NOTE: All attendees must be over 12 and those between 12 and 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

Consider everything you think you know about Evermore. Run through their history, of brothers Jon, Peter and Dann Hume growing up in the rural New Zealand town of Feilding and finding their feet as musicians. Reflect on their breakthrough 2004 debut Dreams and its beautifully crafted follow-up, 2006s Real Life, selling platinum and double platinum. Look at their six ARIA Award nominations, two NZ Music Awards, Channel [V] and MTV gongs, and the high esteem in which music fans and peers hold them.

Gather those thoughts for a moment then get ready to be blown away. Its the album weve been wanting to make since we started the band, says singer and guitarist Jon, 25. It's a concept album that takes inspiration from trashy media and political propaganda, and turns it into a fun, over the top rock'n'roll show. Its an impressive united vision that began as abstract thoughts and came together into a solid concept over 18 months in the bands studio near their new home city of Melbourne.

The result, the beautifully crafted Truth Of The World: Welcome To The Show, is one of the most ambitious albums youll ever hear. A grandiose piece of music that plays out like a modern brave new world rock opera, its foundation is built on a fictional news broadcast and branches out to paint aural pictures of a space saturated with cheap consumer pleasures, ads, channel-surfing sound effects and catchphrases woven into a rich musical tapestry.
