Having already racked up a number of performances in celebration of his latest album, The Beginning And The End Of Everything, Pyke has already planned a new tour for early 2014.

Go For Goulding
SEABELLIES, the dreamy five-piece from Newcastle, are wandering out on tour this December. Ready just in time for Christmas, their second record Fever Belle has been released. Written and recorded across Melbourne, Sydney and Berlin, the result is sophisticated and textured—a mature step forward from their debut. They’ve performed with Pixies, Phoenix and Soulwax, but now it’s time for a headline tour. Catch Seabellies at Jive on Fri Dec 20; tickets through Moshtix.

Electro-popstar ELLIE GOULDING has planned a quick dash around the nation next year. Shows in Perth, Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane will be in honour of her current single Burn. Hopefully the track has the staying power to make it through to June 2014. She will be playing Adelaide Entertainment Centre and has picked the party-hard Sunday night slot on Jun 1. Goulding was last in the country for Future Music Festival in early 2013 when she arrived with her second album, Halycon. Since sharing stages with Katy Perry and Calvin Harris, these shows will be a great chance to see Goulding live in the leading place on tour. Tickets to the headline tour go on sale Tue Nov 26 through Ticketek.

Feelings Flustered Here’s a puzzle of a performance, thanks to Philadelphia Grand Jury: Philly Jays broke up when frontman Simon Berkfinger decided to tackle a solo career as FEELINGS. He had the help of Dave Rennick (Dappled Cities) and Dan Williams (Art VS Science; Philadelphia Grand Jury). Already you can see some inconsistencies in the terms ‘broke up’ and ‘solo’. But wait, there’s more! Berkfinger was living in Berlin, but Rennick decided to move to Paris—ooh la la!—leaving Berkfinger a guitarist short of a band. Who should he call on to help? Why, MC Bad Genius (Philadelphia Grand Jury), of course! So now Philadelphia Grand Jury are in fact Feelings, but they’re still rather identity challenged. The solution? Philadelphia Grand Jury VS Feelings: the tour. Come and watch these friends sort their issues out live on stage, with added tunes from Feelings’ (Philly Jays’?) new record Be Kind, Unwind. Tickets to the Fri Nov 29 show at Jive are on sale now through Moshtix.
