The Temper Trap will also be touring in December with Florence and the Machine and play their own one-off Christmas show at London’s Koko on the 21st December before returning to Australia to round off the year. They continue playing there in January before joining the Big Day Out tour later in the month.
Hailing from Melbourne, Dougy, Lorenzo, Jonathon and Toby came to England earlier this year and have toured the UK and taken their exhilarating live show to festivals across the world. Their breakthrough single ‘Sweet Disposition’ became the anthem of the summer and climbed the UK charts for over 10 weeks ending up in the top ten and selling a staggering 250,000 copies. The album ‘Conditions’ garnered great reviews and achieved silver status six weeks after release. A new single ‘Fader’ is out January 4th.
The Temper Trap are also nominated for four awards at the ARIA Awards (Australian Record Industry Association) which takes place later this month. ‘Conditions’ is shortlisted for Album of The Year, Best Rock Album, Breakthrough Artist (album) and ‘Sweet Disposition’ for Single of the Year.
The Temper Trap round off a spectacular 2009 with the news of another London show added to their previously announced UK tour for Spring of next year. Due to phenomenal demand the band have now confirmed a third night at the Shepherds Bush Empire on 30th April. The first two Shepherds Bush shows are now completely sold out.
