“I want you to be my best friend!” sings Sam Fryeron on the raucous “Best Of Friends” – and by the time these rockers depart Oz you’ll be just that.

Crowned 'best new band of 2013' by the NME, PALMA VIOLETS' glorious, raw live show was honed at Studio 180, a South London art space/crash pad. That's also where they recorded the excellent 180 (Rough Trade/Remote Control). PALMA VIOLETS recently broke hearts across the US, and come July are set to support the Rolling Stones back at home, no less.

Palma Violets' sideshows just got a whole lot hotter; the kings of NME will now be joined by Gold Coast no-fuss, all-party duo Bleeding Knees Club. With debut album Nothing To Do and new single Feel in tow, Bleeding Knees Club will bringingsome serious surf punk to the stage in Sydney and Melbourne.
Also joining the East Coast run will be Melbourne trouble makers Teenage Mothers. Known for not giving a fuck, their dark punk tracks tackle dead-end jobs, social injustice and kicking against the pricks. Palma Violets aren't the first international band to ask them on the road, with The Kills and M83 already requesting their company in previous tours. Until they kicked them off, that is.
