Tracer are excited to announce our selection for the all new ‘Bands on Track’ showcase night on the Thursday night (March 1) of the 2012 Clipsal 500 in Adelaide. Here’s the official word from Music SA and Clipsal:
“Music SA are pleased to announce its partnership with the SA Motor Sport Board, and Nova 91.9FM to present Bands On Track – a showcase of great SA music over 4 days and nights as part of the Adelaide Casino Live Large Concert Series at the Clipsal 500 Adelaide in March 2012.
Daniel Randell, General Manager Music SA announced today “Six race-ready bands will qualify for a starting lineup on the Adelaide Casino Concert Oval Stage Thursday March 1. The first two bands on the grid are folk-rock heroes The Beards, and action-rock powerhouse Tracer”.
The Beards are famous for writing and performing songs about beards. They have recently completed a sold out Australian tour promoting the first single ‘You Should Consider Having Sex With a Bearded Man’, from their upcoming third album ‘Having A Beard Is The New Not Having a Beard’ (released in Australia March 2012), while rock powerhouse Tracer are currently on a 32 date European tour in support of their debut album ‘Spaces In Between’ (Cool Green Recordings). Both bands are looking forward to performing to a home crowd at the Clipsal 500 in 2012.”

WE PLAYED ROCKPALAST!!! What an awesome day! We started the day with a meeting in Cologne with the owner of our label and his wife. Thanks very much! We went to a proper Cologne Bierhaus and ate just about the equivilant of an entire pig between us. Then it was off to Harmonie for the Crossroads Festival. We loaded in to the venue with a bunch of people helping out. Nice to see a proper stage with great lighting in a cool venue.
The sound onstage was great and we knew we were going to be in for a big night on TV. After sound check we did an interview for WDR TV station and played ‘Too Much’ semi-acoustically. I say semi as Mike played through a marshall baby stack, you know the kind that runs off a 9V battery.
Interview over and we go to meet the other band on the bill ‘The Delta Saints’. What a great band, I suggest you check them out. It was nice to talk to some fellow natively english speaking people too. At 8:30pm we got the call to head down to the stage door and get ready to play. We smashed out an hour and twenty of our best. The band was really on tonight and we cant wait for you all to see it on TV in November. Check out a clip here –
Benon also took another stack of rad photos again and we finished up the night by thanking all that had put the event on. Great crew, great management, just good cricket all round!
Enough talking, check out the pics!
Till next time.
