US Psych Rockers Tonstartssbandht Announce Aussie Tour Dates

Floridian psychedelic siblings Andy and Edwin White — aka Tonstartssbandht — have announced that they will be making their maiden voyage Down Under at the end of the year for a five-date national run of shows in December and January.

The lads get their Aussie sojourn under way on Saturday, December 20, at one of Brisbane's regular Trainspotters events, and takes in the sights and sounds of Melbourne, Hobart and Wollongong on their way to wrap the trip in Sydney at Red Rattler on Saturday, January 3. The Australian shows form part of the pair's wider South-East Asian tour, which also includes dates in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam, as well as three shows across the ditch in New Zealand.

The brothers white are no slouches or newcomers when it comes to the broader music world — Andy recently signed on to handle guitar duties for renowned troubadour Mac DeMarco, while Edwin keeps busy with solo project Eola when not laying down the mad beats for Tonstartssbandht (pronounced tahn-starts-bandit).

Tickets for Tonstartssbandht's inaugural tour of Australia (and Oceania) are on sale now. See the Gig Guide or check The Music App for a full rundown of dates, venues and ticketing information.
