Renee Cassar On Tour w/ the Sundance Kids

Jake Challenor — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 04:03:15 +0000

The Sundance Kids have had an incredible 6 months! They first burst onto radio around the country in
March this year with their fantastic debut single “Solutions” which peaked Top 10 on the National
Australian Artists ARIA Chart. The same single was Music Networks Premier Pick and the #2 most added
track to radio around the county in it’s first week.

July saw the bands second single “Drive Away” serviced to radio and it’s currently shaping up to be the
bands biggest single to date steadily climbing up the national airplay charts.

In the last 6 months, the Adelaide outfit have impressed audiences around the country with their live
performances supporting the likes of Evermore, End Of Fashion and most recently The All American
Rejects. Joining the Sundance Kids on tour with her hit single “Its Not You”, will be MySpace darling
Renee Cassar. Renee has had over 7.5 million plays on her MySpace page!

With the bands artillery of assured anthems perfectly weighted by amiable front man Ash Gale’s honest
words, combined with their natural ability to strike a chord with audiences, it hasn’t taken long for the
band to be thrust into the spotlight.

The Sundance Kids debut album is an assured and focused set from a group who clearly share the kind
of dynamic great rock bands are made of. Intricate guitar tones, fantastic pop hooks, piano flourishes,
inventive rhythms and soaring atmospherics lay the foundation for singer Ash Gale to build on.
Possessing a voice that’s as powerful and expressive as it is delicate and resonating, Gale steps out as a
new leading front man on the scene.
