Aleks and The Ramps Australian Tour: March 2012

Aleks and The Ramps Australian Tour: March 2012To celebrate the release of their monumental third album FACTS, Aleks and The Ramps will be hitting the road in March to play 12 dates around the country.

Armed with their slanted pop treasures, Aleks and The Ramps will be zigzagging their way to Canberra, Wollongong, Sydney, Newcastle, Byron Bay, Toowoomba, Brisbane, Geelong, Melbourne, Adelaide and Hobart.

This is the band's biggest tour yet and if Aleks and The Ramps aren't coming to a town near you, you're going to need to move house. Please see your local representative and apply for the Aleks and the Ramps 'new home in a place they are touring' grant.

From the upbeat pop serenade of opening track Crocodile, to the infectious pop of their recent single Middle Aged Unicorn on Beach with Sunset, FACTS showcases Aleks and The Ramps' unique sound; dreamy, shimmering pop soundscapes juxtaposed with Alex's trademark deadpan vocals and stoic lyrics.

Want to get your mitts on a copy of FACTS? 
We have good news for you! FACTS presales are available NOW via aleksandtheramps.bandcamp.com and iTunes to follow. All vinyl sales come with a free digital download of the album. Digital copies of the album will be released on February 14, 2012 through Gaga Digital.

Polish your interpretive dance moves, bust out your mildly inappropriate spandex numbers and come prepared for Aleks and The Ramps' ecstatic aural delights when they play at a city near you!

Not sure what to expect from an Aleks and the Ramps show? Check out the glorious clip of Aleks and The Ramps performing Icy Facts at Phoenix Public House in Melbourne
