In 1992 Wollongong rockers Tumbleweed were at the top of the heap following the runaway success of their back-to-back EPs ‘Theatre of Gnomes’ and ‘Weedseed’.
Twenty six years on and the band is heading out on a national tour performing their their self-titled debut album – in full.
They managed to top the ARIA Alternative Charts and post a string of successful tours and supports with acts such as Mudhoney, Nirvana, Rollins and Iggy Pop.
Tumbleweed's train was rolling at full steam by the time they released that debut album which was produced by US producer Mr Colson. It entered the national charts at number 12 and spawned hit singles such as ‘Sundial’ and ‘Acid Rain’, which have remained pivotal songs in the Tumbleweed story to this day.
Following strong demand on Record Store Day, their self-titled debut album will be made available for a limited time only on standard black vinyl. Additionally, a very limited allocation, along with a small number of 'Daddy Long Legs' 7" singles are available to pre-order.
