An Evening With … Models: Tour Dates

Fresh from a full house at Enmore Theatre last night  for Vivid Sydney, Models announce a set of special live shows, this September/October. The four piece, comprised of Sean Kelly, Andrew Duffield, Mark Ferrie and Ash Davies, are relishing the opportunity to perform their vast catalogue live once again.

 

When they formed, Models were hailed as one of the most innovative and imaginative Australian bands.  As the authors of The 100 Best Australian Albums (which featured Models' The Pleasure Of Your Company) stated: 'Melbourne electronic outfit Models followed a distinctly perverse and disjointed course from the outset."

 

Models are that rare breed of band – one that has successfully straddled critical acclaim, cult appeal and commercial success.

 

From earlier tracks such as -Happy Birthday IBM' to -Cut Lunch' and -Two Cabs to the Toucan', the band then hit a purple patch with a run of hits - -I Hear Motion', -Big On Love,' -Barbados' and -Out Of Mind Out Of Sight' all scaled the upper reaches of the charts.

'Alongside The Boys Next Door/The Birthday Party, Models were one of the first Melbourne bands to rise out of the ashes of that city's hothouse punk/new wave explosion of the late 1970s with a clear vision and wider appeal," says Ian McFarlane, author of The Encyclopedia Of Australian Rock And Pop.

 

Models were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2010.

 

'We might go into hibernation occasionally – actually, quite a lot," Sean Kelly says, 'but we have never broken up."

 

Models have continued to record, recently releasing two EPs, -GTK' and -MEMO'. And live, the band pays tribute to the pop genius of James Freud, who died in 2010.

 

The songs still sound fresh. 'We don't think of them as being old," Andrew Duffield says.

 

Models never go out of style.
