It is with great sadness, due to immigration issues, The Pink Stones are unable to depart their home state of Georgia, USA for travel next week to play Boogie festivals and headline shows around the country. The band will definitely be touring Australia this year at some point, and we look forward to them being their unique style some time down the line. Apologies for any hassle this has caused ticket buyers, and expect a refund from the relevant ticketing agency as soon as they can. Keep believing in great music.”
Sat 8th April 8:30pm
Introducing The Pink Stones: a full serving of Peach State picked country-rockers from Athens, Georgia. Exactly two years to the day since the band released their classic cosmic country album, Introducing…The Pink Stones (Normaltown Records), the lads will be heading down under for their debut Australian tour, ready to wow audiences with a new chapter in the annals of Cosmic American Music.
With a show filled with raucous rock’n’roll, humour and heartaches, The Pink Stones were first inspired by The Lemonheads’ version of Brass Buttons, only to realise that their young ears were touching the surface of the catalogue of the late great Gram Parsons. And it was from this moment, the then-college students decided they liked country music. Big time.
The debut album is a classic hat trick of country music and the end result is a fresh and exciting LP from a great band.
The Pink Stones will be here in April, straight after they make waves at SXSW in Austin, Texas in March.
“The Pink Stones, a six-piece outfit creating some of the most shimmering, melancholic Southern rock in years… Introducing doesn’t just tell us who The Pink Stones are, it gets us tickled for what they’ll do next.” – No Depression
“Athens Georgia, the college town that introduced R.E.M., The Drive-By Truckers, and the B-52s to the world has once again produced an exciting rising new band.” – Under the Radar
“The Pink Stones reinvigorate cosmic country…” – PopMatters
“Given this fine introduction, The Pink Stones would seem to have a promising future before them. Gram would certainly approve.” 4 out of 5 Stars – American Songwriter
