The Smith Street Band Announce Headline Tour; Questions Raised Over Current Line-up

The Smith Street Band have today announced a headline tour of Australia, however the current line-up of the band has come into question.

As seen in the Melbourne outfit's latest press shot (above) co-founding member and drummer Chris Cowburn is not included, but musician Matt Bodiam, formerly of A Death In The Family (second from the left), is instead seen in the photo.

The Music has contacted The Smith Street Band's management for comment.
