Alex the Astronaut announces an Australia wide tour for EP See You Soon. Her EP is soon to be released on October 6 after which the tour will begin. Alex is touring Brisbane, Byron Bay, Sydney, Wollongong, Melbourne and Perth to support her second EP. Her Melbourne show is at Howler on Saturday October 28 with ticket sales beginning Tuesday September 5. These are Alex’s first headline shows. With only Alex and her guitar on stage, her performances are experiences within themselves.
She recently performed new single from the EP Not Worth Hiding on triple j’s Like A Version. The coming of age song documents a realisation Alex had at age 16, while also being very catchy and easy to listen to with the thumping drums and simple chords. The personal content of the song is about finding your true self in love. As well as Not Worth Hiding, Alex performed a cover of Paul Kelly’s If I Could Start Today Again. Alex chose this song as she lists Kelly as one of her influences.
Just this year Alex has toured with Lisa Mitchell, Dustin Tebutt, Montaigne and played Splendour in the Grass.
