“Touring is the life blood of bands nowadays, you can’t rely on album sales these days, you can rely on getting ripped off by Spotify *laughs* So touring getting out there on the road and playing live and having that interaction with the fans and letting them know that we’re still a driving force is kind of what it’s about…”
From Release: The Screaming Jets are set to light up Australian rock stages later this year with their highly anticipated Life Blood Tour, a nationwide extravaganza featuring just EIGHT exclusive dates and a kick-ass multi-artist bill. The Jets will kick off their high-octane rock experience on November 8 at Kiama Pavilion, Illawarra followed by Melbourne’s Forum on November 15, Newcastle Racecourse on November 16 and Perth’s Astor Theatre on November 22. The band then heads to Brisbane’s Princess Theatre on December 7, The Gov, Adelaide on December 13, Metro Theatre, Sydney on December 14 and winding up on the Gold Coast with a huge summer show at Miami Marketta Laneway, on January 5.
We chatted to our mate Dave about the tour, their live show, being a year on from the passing of Paully, new music, and so much more…
