Help get Dandelion Wine to Europe!
We have just launched a Pozible crowd funding campaign to raise money to cover airfares for our upcoming August/September 2013 European Tour. The tour will include Festival Mediaval (DE), Bruchtal Festival (CH), a special show in Rakvere, Estonia and club shows in Germany and Poland. There’s a short fall in tour budget and we’re asking for your help to make sure this tour happens. In return we have some really cool and unique things to offer you - everything from postcards and CDs to custom one off vinyl, unique one off ambient pieces created just for you, private concerts, lessons, remixes... even the chance to choose Naomi’s hair colour for the tour! No amount of money is to big or too small - every little (and big) bit counts! Please head to our Pozible page and pledge your support and also share it around your social networks so we and make sure this is a success.

Recording
The studio relocation is complete and we are back to working on the next album. Also, a big thanks to everyone who came to see us supporting Peter Murphy in Melbourne - it was a great opportunity for us to crank up and indulge our more rocking side and to give our forthcoming single a public airing... stay tuned for release details.
We have confirmed some amazing festivals and events in Europe for August and September - details soon! Most things are locked in but there is the possibility to add a couple more so if you have any ideas or requests please contact us.

Studio relocation and only Melbourne show - supporting Peter Murphy (Bauhaus, UK)
Recording for our latest album has been temporarily put on hold while we relocate our studio to a new and bigger location. The move is nearly complete so we will recommence recording shortly and therefore we are not planning any Australian concerts in the near future except...
We are pleased to announce that we will be supporting Bauhaus vocalist Peter Murphy on his upcoming Australian tour. We will be playing the Melbourne show at the Corner Hotel on Friday January 11th along with Ikon. We will be playing some favourites from the last three albums plus a sneaky airing of our next single.... Details on the Live page or there’s the fb event here. After that it’s back into the studio to finish the album.

10th Anniversary of Light Streaming Down Australian Tour:
To celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Light Streaming Down we will be playing a series of shows around Australia:

Full details on the Tour Dates page.
‘Light Streaming Down’ holds a bit of a special place for us as it was the first release that really cemented what Dandelion WIne is, the first one to attract a lot of international attention and the one that lead to us touring Europe for the first time. Yes, our first European tour was ten years ago in October... our very first concert outside Victoria was at the now legendary Gothic Pulse in Warsaw, Poland. We also played in London, Berlin, Konstanz and Switzerland on that tour and had such a great time and a great response that we were back six months later... and many times more after that. This CD also lead to our partnership with the good people at Ars Musica Diffundére/Black Rain in Germany.
European Acoustic Tour, Aug 2012:
We can confirm that we will be undertaking our seventh(!) European Tour in August this year with a twist: this will be our first acoustic tour of Europe. Dates will be announced shortly... We are still in the process of booking so please contact us immediately for bookings and/or suggestions!
