Following an exceptional run of shows with Rodriguez on his recent national tour, including a star turn at Bluesfest, those fine surf rock gentlemen of The Break are donning their special issue tour space suits in readiness for a series of live dates. The band’s first headline shows to celebrate the release of their second album SPACE FARM will take them through Melbourne, Cairns, Darwin and Sydney, unleashing their unique blend of driving rhythm, reverbed guitars, trumpet and theremin.
Released mid-March, SPACE FARM has been embraced by fans and music critics alike. Featuring chants by The Gyuto Monks Of Tibet, various noises by the enigmatic Brian Ritchie, and a full vocal performance by Engelbert Humperdinck on a new version of his1967 B-Side ‘Ten Guitars’, it is truly a unique musical masterpiece.
Here’s what those in the know have been saying about SPACE FARM:
“An eclectic sound, the record has a strong anthemic feel delivering some well balanced and familiarly memorable tracks” – Tone Deaf
“The Break might be seriously good, but they don’t want you to take them too seriously, thus Space Farm is a brilliantly fun piece of work” – Themusic.com.au
“The results (as expected) are weird, but the good kind of weird” – Reverb street press
“Midnight Oil never had this much fun” – Michael Dwyer, The Age
