The Middle East

Overview

Fancy a journey without the actual need to travel? Then venture to the Old Museum where The Middle East will be performing as part of their national tour to promote their latest album release, I Want That You Are Always Happy.

Co-mixed, produced and recorded by Mark Myers, the album debuted and peaked at number 11 on the Australian Album Charts.
The Middle East was initially formed in Townsville in 2005. For a band with such humble beginnings, they have since gone on to play on national radio (Triple J) and at major musical festivals (Splendour, Big Dry Out, Big Sound and the Woodford Folk Festival included), and have also toured internationally.

But now they’re back after working on their latest album and a brief band split. Their show at Sydney’s The Metro is already sold out and tickets to the Old Museum are going fast. They’ll be backed up on their tour by support acts, Leader Cheetah and Grand Salvo.

We’re just happy they’re back together and playing some sweet music again. Catch The Middle East in Brisbane for one night only. Oh, and keep an ear out for Jesus Came To My Birthday. You’ll recognise it once you hear it. It’s going to be your new favourite song.
