Attention All Aussies: Go and see Jens Lekman!

‘When I Said I Wanted To Be Your Dog’ by Jens Lekman got my vote as album of the year last year and as luck would have it, he’s touring Australia RIGHT NOW while I’m 20,000 k’s away. What’s worse, by the look of his touring schedule we’ll cross paths somewhere over Java.

That doesn’t mean you guys have to miss out. As our old friend Molly Meldrum would say, do yourself a favour and catch this guy at one of his Aussie shows. I’ve listed them below:

May 7 – Northcote Social Club, Melbourne *
May 8 – Northcote Social Club, Melbourne *
May 10 – Manchester Lane, Melbourne
May 11 – Karova Lounge, Ballarat *
>May 12 – Jade Monkey, Adelaide *
May 13 – Mojo’s, Perth *
May 14 – Mojo’s Perth *
May 16 – The Troubadour, Brisbane
May 17 – Hopetoun Hotel, Sydney
May 19 – Heritage Hotel, Bulli *
May 20 – Gallipoli Legions Club, Newcastle *
May 21 – The Metro, Sydney *

He is supporting some bloke called Darren Hanlon at the shows marked with a *. I can’t vouch for him so you might want to leave after Jens finishes.
