Inventive British blues-rock-pop guys Gomez return to Australia once again with setlist requests and after parties.

The band just tweeted, “Worst kept secret on the continent…we’re coming back to Australia in October. Details (inc. setlist requests) at http://gomeztheband.com/gigs”.
While the band are very well known to Aussies, these will be special shows because not only do fans get to choose their city’s setlist (through Google Docs on the above gig page) but they can also buy “After Party” tickets which include a meet and greet, a silkscreened tour poster, an exclusive download of rare live tracks, and an autographed copy of their most recent album Whatever’s On Your Mind.
Also, it’s quite a surprise that the tour includes a pretty comprehensive run of the Top End (sadly, at the expense of Adelaide and Perth). The band dropped in to Noise11 last time they were here. Check out their great performance of some Whatever’s On My Mind tracks below the dates.
