Today’s Tour Guide features some rather unique tours, kicking off with In Hearts Wake who’ll be traveling through Tassie and rural Queensland only, some DJ dates from AV kid Sampology, a very special “24-hour layover tour” from New Zealand’s Tiny Ruins, and shows from Dustin Tebbutt.
In Hearts Wake Earthwalker Regional Tour
You could say that Byron Bay metalcore outfit In Hearts Wake are on something of a roll. The last 12 months have seen them play Soundwave Festival (even making our list of the 10 Bands You Might Miss At Soundwave (But Probably Shouldn’t)) and embark on an extensive regional tour.
Last week, they unveiled the release details for their sophomore album Earthwalker, as well as a music video for lead single Divine. To celebrate the album’s release this May, the band will hit the road once again for a run of shows through Tasmania and Queensland. See the Divine video below.

Sampology DJ Tour
Brisbane DJ and AV maestro Sampology has been busy on the performance circuit the last few months, criss-crossing between North America and Europe and he’s now announced that he’ll be bringing it home for an Australian DJ tour that kicks off Friday, 2nd May on the Sunshine Coast.
“I’m not limiting myself to any key group of genres. What I love about doing DJ sets over AV shows is the freedom to play to the room and take the set wherever it needs to go on the fly, so the track selection will differ show to show. That said, there’s been an amazing amount of housey, hiphop-ey, soulful-ey, progressive music I’ve collected recently both online and on vinyl, Sampology said.

Tiny Ruins Australian Performances
On their way to Europe to open for Neil Finn, Tiny Ruins will be in Australia for 24 hours and have decided not to waste it, performing one club show at the Bella Union followed by two free 40-minute radio performance shows the next day, one in Melbourne at 9:30 and one in Sydney later that day.
From tiny beginnings as a solo project launched by songwriter Hollie Fullbrook in 2009, Tiny Ruins are now well-established as one Oceania’s most consistently acclaimed groups, garnering praise for their slots supporting the likes of Beach House, Joanna Newsom, Fleet Foxes, and many more.

Dustin Tebbutt Bones Tour
Answering a call put out to him by the Northern Hemisphere and the promise of a life in snow-coated winter and the appeal of hibernation far away, Dustin Tebbutt uprooted and relocated to Sweden for two years. The result has been a tenderly crafted collection of cathartic dispatches.
To celebrate, Tebbutt will embark on a series of intimate headline tour dates. “I’m really looking forward to these shows, they’ll be the first headline dates with the band, and it will be great to finally share the songs in these intimate venues,” explained Tebbutt. Listen to his single Bones below.
