LOOPNews: Jayson Norris Tour, Christchurch Quake Appeal This Sunday & More...

Jayson Norris Freedom Twenty Eight Tour

Having just played with The Black Seeds as well as Fly My Pretties, Jayson
Norris is now hitting the road on his anticipated "Freedom Twenty Eight"
tour to celebrate his recently released album.
Jayson will be joined by his good friend and multi-instrumentalist, Chris
Cope as well as special guests along the way.
In typical Kiwi fashion, Jayson has made a career from hard graft and
determination. He's won many an audience over with his impressive live
show, which sees him whipping up a storm often only using just his voice,
a guitar and loop pedal, giving new meaning to the term "One Man
Band". Event details here

Tommy Ill's Latest Music Video!

From his recently released eponymous debut LP, comes Tommy Ill's
next single about the comically ill-fated Susan.
With a retro soul sample, Mr. Ill's infamous wit and sing along
hooks, Susan is sure to be another party favourite.
The video clip was directed by partner in crime Brian Hainsworth, on yet another modest
budget of about $10 and makes the most out of their ingenuity with a raft
of Tommy's friends roped in as extras.
With performances at the Big Day Out, Camp A Low Hum and support slots for
47 Diamantes tucked haphazardly under their belts, it's been a busy
summer for Tommy Ill and his raucous crew of hype-men. Consider them
suitably warmed up for their upcoming Homegrown performance!
