Sundancer Australian Album Tour
With Special Guests The Protectors
First there was the new single Python for a Pillow, which the band threw at radio as they jumped on a plane to go overseas touring Toronto, LA, New York and Japan including their showcases at SXSW in Austin. As they land back in Australia shops are stocking up on their new album Sundancer, which is due on the shelf May 8th.
Python for a Pillow was Rage indie clip of the week recently You can check it out here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjQZeTITyZw
A big fat national tour makes sense as the next move out of Fumes head quarters…so here it is!
And here are a few things people are saying about The Fumes new sounds…….
“Thunderous grunt rock from a dynamic duo – “
BEAT MAGAZINE
“With The bluesy drums-and-geetar two-piece now pretty devalued, possibly by weight of numbers, The Fumes are still one of the better examples of the form. If you think they’ve been absent, you’re somewhat right although supports to QOTSA and doing Japan’s Fuji Festival have put them in front of people in places other than your local. The two bits of their art hereon show variety is possible within the format. Python…. Is straight-line beaty, while Devil At A Tuckstop is a Robert Johnson shuffle for a trip down the Hume. “
THE DRUM MEDIA
“A while back a friend's band was supporting The Fumes and I was trailing along for the night. As my buddies band finished up, the tiny suburban pub's crowd swelled considerably. By the time they took the stage, the Sydney duo -singer and guitarist Steve Merry and drummer Joel Battersby - were a couple of bobbing heads at one end of a foaming mass of people. And they tore the place to shreds.”
THE VINE
Sundancer is in store May 8th 2009 through MGM Distribution.

Queens Of The Stone Age, The Fumes @ The Big Top - Luna Park, Sydney (28/03/2008)
Review by Fiona Cameron, Drum Media #900, 8 April 2008
Some nights it’s like this, where it all goes well from the moment you close your front door until you stagger out of the venue a couple of hours later, exhilarated and exhausted, quivering like a 10-year-old hopped up on sugar, shrieking “I wanna go AGAIN!” And yes, that was me.
You gotta love
The Fumes. The duo appeared on stage, cranked out an outstanding set and managed to make me forget just for a little while who we had all come to see. Theirs was a skuzzy, swampy, distorted sound that’s maybe second cousin once removed from the primordial ooze that rock’n’roll springs from. Think filthy, bluesy, somewhat damaged and a strangely perfect warm up for the Queens show. Who wants cool when raw, blistering guitar and drums feels this good? […>
