Fast-rising Australian four-piece Spacey Jane have announced they are set to take their debut album “Sunlight” on a huge national tour. With numerous shows across the country planned, cancelled, rescheduled and cancelled again in 2020, the Fremantle act are keen to get the show on the road with over two months of gigs scheduled right across the country.

Western Australians fans might not have waited as long for the chance to see the band live, but expect demand to be high for tickets to shows at Fremantle Arts Centre on Friday, April 9 and Mandurah Performing Arts Centre on Friday, May 14.

Spacey Jane kicked off 2021 with a bang, taking out the No2 spot in triple j’s Aussie chart with “Booster Seat”. Three more tracks from Sunlight made the countdown, with Weightless at , Straightfaced and Skin placing’s, marking a momentous and celebratory day for the band. They backed it up last week taking on triple j’s Like a Version with a cover of The Beatles’ Here Comes The Sun,” along with a performance of “Booster Seat”.

Released in June last year, Sunlight  voted Album of the Year in the triple j Listener’s Poll. And just a few days ago, one of their earliest singles Feeding The Family achieved Gold Status.

The band have revealed how pleased they are to finally be taking the full album on a tour, stating “we’re so excited to finally have the opportunity to play these songs on the road! It’s been a long time since we’ve managed to tour Australia, and we’re all rearing to go! These will be our biggest shows to date, in venues we’ve only dreamed of playing – see you out there.”

Spacey Jane will be joined on the tour by another of Perth’s most prized musical acts Carla Geneve, who has just announced the exciting news that her debut album Learn to Like It is coming out in April.

Something about this indie pop Australian band always makes me smile, and “On the Line” is no exception: With a beachy bounce and sun-kissed warmth reminiscent of say Prefab Sprout, San Cisco’s latest single heralds the long-awaited return of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. If only we could go out and take advantage!

Yet music can, and so often is its own escape. Those glazed guitar riffs and “could you love me one more time?” chants welcome us to close our eyes and slip into a bright, buoyant new reality. A catchy indie pop “bop,” this is the song that will get us dancing all over the room, letting loose whatever stiffness has been building in our bones as we throw caution to the four winds and let it all out. I remember hopping around to songs like “Fred Astaire” eight years ago – that was always my favourite track off San Cisco’s 2012 self-titled. You never know where a band will go over time, and indeed so many of this group’s contemporaries are no longer together, or have gone on to new projects. I’m glad San Cisco are doing what they’re doing, because they do it so darn well: Every song is a delightful burst of sunlight, not to mention a sweet kiss upon the cheek. Listen to “On the Line” and indulge; a track so full of urgency and hope, San Cisco’s newest offering will fill an empty room with dazzling, gleaming light.
