The Grates have announced 2011 Australian tour dates on the back of their mainstage set at Splendour In The Grass. Helmed by the enigmatic, sassy frontwoman Patience Hodgson, their sophisticated live show has as many twists and turns as the singer’s dance moves, unparalleled by any band in the country right now. From her stage diving antics to provocative banter, you just never know what you’re going to get up close and personal.
Supporting them on tour will be fellow Brisbane boys, Last Dinosaurs.
