The Tambourine Girls Announce New Single And Debut Headline Tour

Sydney-based stalwarts The Tambourine Girls have announced that they will embark on their debut headline tour this August to celebrate the release of their brand new single Ghosts.

Hot on the heels of their acclaimed debut EP The End Of Time, released in May, and consequent lead single Blood And Bones, the ethereal, plodding waltz of Ghosts finds TTG frontman Simon Relf in thoughtful, introspective form, reflecting on the ways in which humans are prone to re-fit reality around a person's life to create for them a more positive legacy once they've departed the mortal coil.

“Ghosts came from thinking about the idea that all is forgiven when we die, Relf said in a statement. “I find it really interesting how much people are prepared to forget after someone's not around anymore. People say they're afraid of ghosts, but no ghost has ever caused as much trouble as a person…”

To commemorate the release of the accomplished track, The Tambourine Girls have revealed they're setting out on their inaugural headline sojourn around the country, taking in dates in Sydney, Melbourne, Wollongong and Cronulla, with Relf bringing along an esteemed backing band made up of members from Deep Sea Arcade and the touring band of Dustin Tebbutt, for whom Relf finished up a stint as support on his sold-out national tour back in May.

The Tambourine Girls' Ghosts single tour kicks off in Wollongong on Sunday, August 10, before heading to Sydney on August 16, Cronulla on August 17 and Melbourne on August 24.

Tickets for each show are available now through various vendors (Wollongong/Sydney/Cronulla/Melbourne).
