The Less Talk, More Problems Tour

The Announcement

Two of Australias premier emerging acts, bluejuice & The Paper Scissors have officially announced a massive co headline Australian tour. Covering 6 states, 2 territories and 1 hemisphere, The Less Talk, More Problems Tour will see both bands tread the boards together throughout April / May.

The Bands

Recently shortlisted for The Amp 2007 awards, its been nothing short of a phenomenal few months for Sydneys punk hoppers bluejuice. Vitriol, the 1st single from their debut album Problems (****Rolling Stone) was the 2nd most played song on triple j in 2007, scored #11 in triple js Hottest 100 2007, was one of Rolling Stone Magazines top 100 tracks of 2007 and the Australian iTunes Single Of The Week during January 2008. Currently pushing 50,000 YouTube views, the Vitriol video also took out the highly coveted top spot in the nationwide Sunscreen Music Video Competition.

New single The Reductionist has been on high rotation on JJJ for over 2 months. Rage placed the clip 3rd cab off the rank for its national debut on Jan 25th and continues to air it in poll position. Rage also made The Reductionist their Indie Clip of The Week feature w/c Jan 28th.

Also hailing from Sydney, post-indie/soul four-piece The Paper Scissors first hit the national limelight in 2006 when their track We Dont Walk from their The Paper Scissors EP was picked up by FBI, JJJ and Rage. The success of We Dont Walk in combination with their burgeoning reputation for frenetic, crowd-friendly, loud and tumultuous live shows, saw them hit stages nationwide with the likes of Midnight Juggernauts, Datarock, Patrick Wolf and at festivals such as Falls, Southbound and The Great Escape.

Released in 2007, their debut LP Less Talk, More Paper Scissors assured their rapidly ascending position, both at home and abroad. The Sydney Morning Herald proclaimed of their first single: Yamanote Line is the best song ever written. Truly. The Sydney Magazine named Less Talk Album Of The Month for Oct 07, RRR placed it in their Top 10, and PBS and FBi made it their Album Of The Week. With triple j placing Yamanote Line on high rotation, 2007 saw the band crisscrossing the country, further cementing legions of converted with what the Herald Sun called their Growling brilliance.

Final details are still being completed so stay tuned for information on a number of additional features that will accompany the Less Talk, More Problems tour. These will include Purple Sneakers very own PhDJ who will be aiding in the process of getting absolutely stonkered post-show at a series of After Parties which will be held in every major city that the tour passes through.
