News : Caligula’s Horse Announce Support Acts For Their National ‘Turntail’ Tour

By on March 4, 2016

Australia’s forerunners for modern alt-rock/prog, Brisbane’s Caligula’s Horse, have announced the support acts who will join them on tour this March-April for their national ‘Turntail’ single tour.

Filling the national support is none other than enigmatic Perth locals, Chaos Divine; whose latest record, ‘Colliding Skies’, was praised worldwide as one of 2015’s best progressive metal offerings. Chaos Divine are expected to release a new video soon to their single, “Badge of Honour”, in the lead up to the tour.

The local supports are as follows (Port Macquarie and Newcastle are still TBA as of time of posting):

Kicking things off in Adelaide are For Millennia who have shared the stage with Caligula’s in the past. Their off kilter riffing, soaring vocals and twisted melodies will captivate the crowd instantly.

Melbourne’s Enlight will open in front of their hometown crowd and by their own words, the female fronted progressive rockers will play music that ‘glows in the dark’!

Fusing post rock and black metal into one seamless and breathtaking entity, Illyria will give the Perth crowd a stunning start to the evening. Spellbound and gracious sonics.

In Sydney, the ambient and progressive self stylings of Glass Ocean have given them that coveted ‘band to watch’ profile. Dynamic and intriguing, their live show is an unforgettable musical experience!

Canberra locals Tundrel will treat the crowd to an emotive set of alt-rock that ranges from psychedelica to classic rock with a heavy 70’s influence. Just the thing to ease into a night such as this!

The final night of the Turntail tour will feature two amazing Brisbane acts to round things out. Opening the night are Rise Overrun, a band that can go from frenzied political rock to pop dreaminess or surreal minimalist sonics in seamless fashion. And The Stranger who will add their unique blend of prog/world/metal/funk into the evening’s musical diversity.

Tickets are on sale now through Wild Thing Presents, Oztix, and the venues.
