LUKE LEGS – NO LAST TIME AT THE NASH!

Hi friends,

UPDATE – UNFORTUNATELY THE NASH HAS CLOSED DOWN – THIS SHOW WILL NOT GO AHEAD :( LL.

JUST ANNOUNCED: Geelong’s Nash Hotel is closing down. For EVER!

We are playing a ONE OFF show on Friday November 2nd at the place that it all begun for us. We have very fond memories of these early gigs. We are shattered that the bar is closing down, and not due to lack of money or patrons, but a dodgy building that must be demolished. And with it goes a little piece of our soul. We will be performing two sets, one Luke Legs solo from 7-8pm then with the band from 8-9pm. Just like old times…. Get down early to be guaranteed entry.Next up, the following week, Friday November 9th, we’ll be supporting the amazing Jordie Land at the Barwon Bowling Club. Jordie’s back from the U.S. to promote his new single ‘fool for love’. Tickets through Jordielane.com

And then the big one – we’re delighted to announce that we’re playing at the Queenscliff Music Festival, alongside such legends of Australian music like You Am I, Missy Higgins,The Cat Empire and many, many more. We’ll be playing a few shows over the course of the weekend (including on a Train!) – the exact times and stage info will be released later. You can get your tickets now at www.qmf.net.au/tickets. It will definitely sell out, so get moving!

Finally, if you haven’t gotten a hold of our debut LP yet, you can get it right here, or alternatively from iTunes if you’re that way inclined.

That’s it from us for now, but keep an eye on our facebook page for the latest news.
