The Lovetones return after a three year absence with their new single ‘Everything Changed’ ahead of next month’s gigs in Sydney and Melbourne. Their signature crisp twelve string crunch carries the yearning tones of singer Mathew Tow in a track that seems to merge an REM melancholic blush with a Byrdsian jingle jangle and a Dylanesque burr.

Details of the tour are below with Sydney tickets available here and Melbourne tickets available here. Supports for the Sydney gigs include the brilliant Lewis Goldmark and fantastic The Wednesday Night – rare appearances for both bands.
