The Devoted Few & Sherlock's Daughter
"The Devoted Daughter Tour" September 2009

Joining together like a whispered tryst in the night, The Devoted Few & Sherlock's Daughter embark upon a co-headline run of East Coast dates to celebrate & dance in the dusk of a breached winter.

The debut EP launch tour for 5-piece indie folk-electronica SHERLOCK'S DAUGHTER have proven the whispers true from the first half of 2009: a spot on the St Jerome's Laneway Festival & a vast, unravelling EP produced by Jono Ma of Lost Valentinos, Sherlock's Daughter was hand-selected for support tours with The Temper Trap & Brooklyn hype-group School Of Seven Bells.

THE DEVOTED FEW's album Baby, You're A Vampire has received extensive radio play around the country and the sort of reviews that money don't buy! From 4/5 Stars in the Sydney Morning Herald to the same in Who Weekly, this is one of 2009's finest indie rock'n'roll albums. And the Devoted Few come with a live show to back up the sound of the recordings - and then some.

Here's a new Devoted Few pic by our main man down in Melbourne David Payne.

Ben recently did an interview for 'Under The Iron Heel' a music and literature blog. In his interview he talks all about his favourite book, goes into depth about the sadness of Kerouac's legacy, and wonders why/how his childhood heroes lose their way.

Go HERE to read the interview.

Hey gang, here's the new poster for our tour with the Pony Up girls in June. We can't wait. Check it:

You'll notice to the new twitter widget on the side bar of our website. If you're not already, friend us up on twitter at: http://www.twitter.com/thedevotedfew we tweet all day! We'll see you in June!

Something like 2000 bands entered the uncharTED competition this year. We've made it through to the final 50. The prize for the winning band is a spot at Splendour in the Grass! Needless to say we'd love to be on the Splendour bill & that's why we need you to vote, vote & vote some more.

But what's in it for you? Two things - the warm, fuzzy feeling of satisfaction you get when you do a fellow human being a solid & the chance of winning double passes to Splendour!

Head to the uncharTED website, register to vote, go to our profile which is HERE and cast your vote.

If you are so inclined and have a lot of time up your sleeve you can vote once every hour!!

Thanks!

Many thanks to our good friend Craig Schuftan for inviting us to play at his book launch last night at The Hoey! And thanks to all those people who braved the torrential rain outside and the oppressive heat inside to be at the show.

For those of you who weren't there we knocked out versions of 'How Soon Is Now' by The Smiths (apologies to the purists for cutting it down to four minutes from the original six or so), Weezer's 'Why Bother?', The Cure's 'The Hanging Garden' and 'Hounds Of Love' by Kate Bush. Sarah Blasko provided a gorgeously fractured version of Bowie's 'Heroes' as well as a track from her new album.

There are a few photos and a bit of a run down of the evening over here! And some more pics over at the triple j website

Craig's book, 'Hey Nietzsche! Leave Them Kids Alone!' is out now!

For those not in Sydney, check out our first ever cover shot!

The pic of us was taken by Maja Baska. Here's the Drum Media article in PDF format:

Thanks to everyone who came along to see us over the weekend in Byron, Brissy & Toowoomba. We had a ball, particularly in Brisbane where The Troubadour SOLD OUT!!

Many thanks to The Middle East & Drawn From Bees for being wonderful bands and lovely people to boot! It was a pleasure.

This week we do a load of washing and pack the van again for shows in Adelaide, Melbourne & Ballarat. Then next week we hit up Newcastle and Sydney. Tickets are now on sale for Adelaide, Melbourne & Sydney shows. The links are over there on the right >>>

See you down the front!
