Two of Australia’s most exciting up and coming alternative artists The John Steel Singers (Brisbane) and Cloud Control (NSW Blue Mountains) have joined forces for a harmonious twelve date tour.

Jet pack prepared The John Steel Singers and Cloud Control will be launching their dual headline Flying High Tour across five states throughout May.

Expect to hear new tunes aplenty from both bands with The John Steel Singers playing tracks from their soon to be released debut mini-album The Beagle and the Dove and Cloud Control showcasing songs from their debut self titled EP released late in 2007.

A common love of inventive pop melodies and catchy hooks won both bands a spot in Triple J’s Next Crop initiative resulting in high rotation airplay nation wide for both The John Steel Singers’ Strawberry Wine and Cloud Control’s Vintage Books.

With a growing legion of fans, great reviews and high profile supports including The Panics, Something For Kate, The Panda Band, Built to Spill, The Brunettes and New Buffalo taste makers and audiences alike continue to sing their praises.

“Psst. Hot tip of the moment – The John Steel Singers. Apparently a certain Bris-Pop legend (no exaggeration) bailed up Timmay Singers in a Ric’s loo to tell him how good they were….their catchy blend of Wilco, Dexy’s, Beach Boys and Go-Betweens pop is well worth checking out.” CHRIS HARMS – Editor Rave Magazine
