Good friend Adalita will join them on the tour. One of the great local song writers of the past two decades, the Magic Dirt front woman will open each night with her hauntingly beautiful solo show.

A Thousand Mistakes has been recorded in 5.1 surround sound and will be released on DVD, with an accompanying limited edition of vinyl for collectors, this September. It features an intimate live session of rarely played songs from their career that spans over thirteen years and five studio albums, including tracks Stop Dreaming, The Best You Can Believe In, Work For Me and Cold and Sober.

It also includes a full live show at one of Melbourne's favourite venues, the East Brunswick club, filmed in 2010, and a bonus disc full of live footage filmed all over the world between 2005-2010.
