Party with The Whitlams like its 1999 when the band hit the road next year for their 'Last Drinks At The Morrison Hotel' tour.
The upcoming tour celebrates the 20th anniversary of The Whitlams' fourth studio album 'Love This City', which features the poignant single 'Blow Up The Pokies'.
Though little has changed on the pokies front, The Whitlams mark the passage of time by playing most of the album on the 'Last Drinks At The Morrison Hotel' tour.
“I have identified 12 songs and two bonus tracks that I still want to play from 'Love This City', and that will make up the core of the shows this May and June,” bandleader Tim Freedman says.
“The other half of the rambunctious long set will wander widely through the other five albums, stopping off for six minutes at Bob Dylan’s ‘Tangled Up In Blue’, which it’s time to play again.”
The Whitlams will be joined on tour by two of their good mates and Australian music icons, Bob Evans and Ella Hooper.
Bob Evans, the ARIA winning alter ego of Jebediah frontman Kevin Mitchell, has graced the Australian music scene for more than two decades and has written some of the country’s most beloved songs.
Meanwhile, Ella Hooper has been in and out of the studio for much of 2018, kicking things off with new single 'To The Bone'. It’s been a colourful journey and it's only getting busier for this chameleonic purveyor of pop rock.
