Sydney purveyors of melancholic pop rock FAKER are about to hit the road to celebrate the forthcoming release of their sophomore album BE THE TWILIGHT featuring the brand spanking new single This Heart Attack.  With BE THE TWILIGHT  set for release on November 17, FAKER will embark on their national album tour upon the release of the record.

FAKER say that something happens in the turning of day to night when things get lost and found in the light and on BE THE TWILIGHT, the band captures that fleeting time of day with a dynamic sound all of their own – eclectic chaotic danceability paired with a modern complexity.  Frontman Nathan Hudson admits, “I’ve had a fear of twilight ever since I was a kid. Anything could happen.” And anything indeed could happen when FAKER take to the stage. Known for their energetic and enthralling live performances lead by wild on stage antics from Hudson, FAKER’s BE THE TWILIGHT, tour is not to be missed.

Presented by triple j, FAKER are psyched to announce their touring companions on the BE THE TWILIGHT,  album tour will be Children Collide and E.L.F.

Melbourne’s Children Collide join the BE THE TWILIGHT, tour for their final live outing before they head indoors this Summer to record their debut album, due for release in the new year. Described as indescribable, Children Collide’s music is an edgy obscure form of rock and their high energy live sets are guaranteed to get audiences moving.

While E.L.F otherwise known as the new solo laptronic indie dance band from gerling’s Darren Cross will see this lone gent use laptop based samples as well as live vocals and mash-ups to bring an inspired, multi-layered party E.L.F. On the BE THE TWILIGHT, tour, punters will be treated to a double dose from E.L.F when Darren performs a live set to kick the night off as well as a DJ set to gear everyone up for the main event, FAKER!
