In 2012 Courtney Barnett started Milk! Records and released her first EP I’ve Got A Friend Called Emily Ferris. One album, 4 ARIA Award’s and a Grammy nomination later and she’s taking the Milk! Records roster starring Jen Cloher, Fraser A. Gorman, Ouch My Face, East Brunswick All Girls Choir and The Finks, for a tour along the East Coast this March.
Touring in support of their second Milk! Records compilation album Good For You this won’t be a six-band yawn fest but more of a collaborative roadshow, the kind immortalised by Janis Joplin and Jerry Garcia in the Festival Express, minus the steam train.
Milk! Records won Best Independent Label at the 2015 AIR Awards. The Good For You tour will give you six good reasons why.
The tour will see the roster hit Adelaide, Castlemaine, Melbourne, Canberra, Wollongong, Sydney, Newcastle, Bangalow, Brisbane, Edmundi and Gold Coast. Full tour and ticket links below. Tickets go on sale Monday 1 February at 9.00am via milkrecords.com.au
Good For You is six brand new songs from six Milk! Records artists, slapped down in gleeful defiance of punishing touring schedules over one weekend in September, at Melbourne’s Newmarket Studios, with engineer Cal Barter. The record will be released on vinyl Valentines Day, Sunday 14 February and available on all digital platforms from Friday 12 February. Pre-order is available now for your digital copy or on limited edition signed 12″ vinyl direct from Milk! Records. The first single from the compilation ‘Skyscraper Skyline Blues’ by Fraser A. Gorman and the second single was Courtney Barnett’s ‘Three Packs A Day.’
