| The Parlotones |
It has been 10 years since The Parlotones ventured out of
drummer Neil's father’s garage and onto hundreds of stages across the world.
The Parlotones have shared an extraordinary journey over the last decade and
are looking forward to sharing this journey with their fans when they present
“This Is Our Story” - an intimate evening of songs and inspirations - live at
The Teatro at Montecasino the 3 and 4August. 2012 certainly looks like the end
of the world as The Parlotones know it. The year kicked off with an impressive start when they climbed Mount
Kilimanjaro for UNWomen, raised R600 000.00 with one of Neil's paintings in the
fight against Rhino poaching and the release of their brand new album
"Journey through the shadows" is heading for Gold status in the first
month of release. To add to the excitement The Parlotones have been invited by
UK Super band Snow Patrol to tour with them in Europe this summer. The
Parlotones have been making waves across the globe for some time but it seems
that 2012 will be the year it all comes together. With the 27 city headline
tour of the USA in full swing, the band's first US single has managed to enter
the radio charts with massive support from radio stations across the USA as
well as the Alternative iTunes charts in the USA and Rock charts in Germany.
The band will play their final US show on the 20th of June and head straight
onto Hamburg to join Snow Patrol on a series of dates before completing the
tour with their debut performances at some of the world’s biggest festivals
across Europe. The band returns to SA in late July and straight into rehearsal
for their latest concert theatre production entitled "This Is Our
Story." The production will take the audience on a magical ride exploring
their songs and delving into the inspirations behind them in an intimate
theatre setting at the beautiful Teatro at Montecasino. Taking you down memory
lane Kahn, Paul, Glen and Neil will give their insights on what has meant the
most to them about the songs that have shaped South Africa's most successful
rock band of all time. The band will share the stories behind milestones songs
such as Beautiful, Here Comes the Man, Colourful, Giant Mistake, I’ll Be There
and countless others which shaped the band over the years. To add to this great
production, the show will take on an interactive role by enabling fans to
communicate with the band on stage through social media and ask them the questions
they would like to know the answers too. Tickets available at Computicket.
