Hard Yards gives emerging Aussie bands the chance to tour  the East Coast of Australia with Cosmic Psychos and some more yet to be announced big name Aussie music headline acts!

Doing the hard yards is tough for all creatives, but being in a band is a relentless slog.

It means an actual lifetime of childhood lessons, spending money on CDs and records, playing shitty gigs for next to nothing, or free, sending your demos to disinterested radio stations and music journalists, spending all your money on instruments and rehearsal space and cool clothes to wear on stage. This is why I am always in awe of my friends who are musicians – it seems like a thankless task done by those who truly just want to give their musical gifts to others.

So Hard Yards is here to offer a helping hand. Hard Yards is a touring initiative, with three dates across the East Coast of Australia, where the winning bands will play shows with psychedelic rock wizards Cosmic Psychos and some other yet-to-be-announced big name headliners. So sick!
