With this year¡¯s highest selling Australian single in their back pocket, for their hit ¡®Geronimo¡¯, an impending debut album and a sweet new single ¡®Something¡¯s Missing¡¯, Brisbane indie-pop outfit Sheppard will play a run of shows along the East Coast this July.

Kicking off Friday July 25, the local hit-makers will perform in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, and they¡¯re bringing special guests New Empire along for the ride.

¡°This year has been such a whirlwind and it was important to us that we take the time to get out there on the road and celebrate our album with the fans¡± said lead singer George Sheppard.

¡°The release of a first album is an important milestone for any band and we¡¯re just so happy that we can celebrate it with the people who have made it all happen for us.¡±

Earlier this year, the six-piece¡¯s hit ¡®Geronimo¡¯ spent three weeks at the top spot on the ARIA charts, breaking a record for a run at number one for an independently distributed Australian artist. Their success resulted in an invitation from Keith Urban to join him on his Light The Fuse tour, and play to over 70,000 Aussies along the way.

Forming in Brisbane in 2012, the band is comprised of siblings George, Amy and Emma Sheppard, along with friends Jay Bovino, Michael Butler and Dean Gordan. Already the hit-makers have signed with US talent manager Scooter Braun, who is responsible for launching Justin Bieber¡¯s career, and are set to release their debut album Bombs Away.

Bombs Away is set to drop July 11, and features eleven slices of Sheppard¡¯s trademark indie pop sound. With tracks ranging from the near triple platinum ¡®Geronimo¡¯, last year¡¯s double platinum breakthrough ARIA-nominated hit ¡®Let Me Down Easy¡¯ and new single ¡®Something¡¯s Missing¡¯, there¡¯s no doubt the album will be another smash hit.

Pre-sale tickets for the Bombs Away tour will be available from Wednesday June 25, with general admission available at 10am on Friday June 27. Check below for further ticket and date information.
