RUSHONROCK-approved Australian rock royalty Tracer kick off their Spaces In Between UK tour tomorrow with special guests Virgil And The Accelerators and we’ve got to say this one’s crept up on us all of a sudden!
One of the best new bands we heard last year is steadily building up a following of die-hard Brit fans across the nation. And their current run of club shows should cement a crowing reputation for retro-fueled rock.
Nominated as Best New Band at this year’s Classic Rock Roll of Honour Awards, Tracer will head to LA at the end of the year to record their next album with producer Kevin Shirley (Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Silverchair, Cold Chisel).
The band recently replaced their bassist Leigh Brown with new member, Pat Saracino. Tracer’s drummer, Andre Wise, said: “We’d like to thank Leigh Brown for his tireless efforts and massive contribution to the band. Leigh recently decided his musical journey with Tracer has come to end.”
During the UK tour, Tracer will also perform acoustic sessions with Birmingham’s Kerrang! Radio (Oct 26), Manchester’s Real Radio XS (Oct 27), and Glasgow’s Real Radio XS (Oct 29).
Tickets for Tracer’s UK tour dates can be ordered from the 24 hour box office number 0844 478 0898, www.thegigcartel.com.
