My Disco album launch tour
Having spent a large portion of 2010 recording and touring abroad, this November and December will see My Disco return home for yet another extensive national Australian tour, this time in support of their imminent third album, Little Joy.

Madball part ways with drummer

I wish him the best of luck, but the Madball machine rolls on!"
