Rumour - Australian Tour In March/April 2005?
posted by davidt on Friday December 17 2004, @11:00AM

 David Bricknell writes:

My reliable, longstanding "All-Things-Moz" independent CD retailer in Melbourne just came back from a trip to LA, where he was lucky enough to catch up with Boz Boorer briefly through a mutual friend. I am told that when Boz heard that this guy ran an independent CD shop in Oz he enthusiastically enquired about a couple of hard to find CD's and was told he would try to hunt them down and send them over to him. Boz's response? "Don't worry about sending them, I'll come and check out your shop myself; we'll be in Melbourne touring in March or April next year." Fingers crossed...

      i wonder if moz knows that boz spilled the beans. i'm happy for the aussies though... although europeans are not going to be too happy, considering he hardly has done anything over there this tour. I'm in NYC, and would gladly fly to europe (if given time to save up) to see him again. Australia, no. =(

          is it possible that these australia shows could just be one leg of a larger tour? either way, if this is true it must mean that he will be playing the u.s. again at some point next year, and yes i agree that it would either be l.a. or nyc, which works for me!

            Well worth the flight. (Score:1)
            My other half is an aussie and we booked flights out there for 2002. six months later Australian tour was announced! So saw Moz at the Albert Hall in Sept, went to Aus in Oct, landed in Perth (as planned) and saw gig that very night. The in-laws live in Adelaide so we flew there and I got to see him there as well! Best of all, due to a smallish following compared to UK/US (which i'm sure has increased!) I got straight to the front of the gig and shook hands with him at BOTH gigs!
            Best gigs ever! Still it is £600 flight, risk of DVT and a month of the in-laws!

                        Shows were sell outs, reviewers were gushing and fans of all ages were grinning from ear to ear.
