TURISAS: Touring Australia for the first time

TURISAS has issued the following update:

"Ask and ye shall receive – after so many requests, TURISAS is finally doing the band’s first tour in Australia. Fresh from the studio, the band is coming for three gigs at the end of May. Warlord Nygård comments:

"Fucking hell! It's finally happening. We've been asked to take the trip to the complete opposite side of the globe for a long time, but for a reason or another it's never been possible. I don't need to tell you how excited we are about finally making it. We've heard rumours about a strong following down there, so now it's time to show us what all that is about! We're taking a break from the studio and the recording of our forthcoming third album to spend less time in your country than it takes us to travel there, so the expectations are high. We for our part will most definitely be bringing you a show with all the extra energy piled up from a year off the road. We're hungry, we're determined, and we're ready. We sure hope you are too!"

Don your war paint, grab your battle axe and prepare for a proper Scandinavian party - join the quest to Oz and beyond in May 2010.

The tour includes the following dates:
BRISBANE
Friday 21st May – The Globe Theatre

SYDNEY
Saturday 22nd May – The Factory Theatre (All Ages)

MELBOURNE
Sunday 23rd May – Billboard the Venue
