SUMMARY:Banawurun – The Nightwatch Tour
DESCRIPTION:Banawurun \n \nThe Nightwatch Tour\n\nWith roots deep with
	in the red soils of Indigenous Australia and Africa\, Deadly Award Win
	ners Banawurun are set to embark on a massive 20+ date national tour. 
	Crossing from coast to coast\, beach to bush\, the Nightwatch Tour is 
	set to see Banawurun announce themselves across the nation.\n \nHaving
	 won the hearts of Australian audiences with a string of acclaimed fes
	tival performances\, The Nightwatch Tour sees the Brisbane five-piece 
	step onto the national stage to deliver the next installment of their 
	soulful future roots and hypnotic outback Motown.\n\nAs those who have
	 seen them in the flesh will know\, this is first and foremost a live 
	band and it is on stage that the magic truly happens.  Distinctly Aust
	ralian yet internationally focused\, Banawurun make music for movement
	 – as infectiously danceable as it is socially and politically charg
	ed.\n\nRecently re-named by a Gu Gu Yelangi Elder\, Banawurun (meaning
	 “running water” and formerly known as Troy ‘n’ Trevelyn & The
	 Tribe) was formed in 2004 by aboriginal man Troy Brady and Matabele Z
	imbabwean woman Trevelyn Brady. The band serves as a vehicle for bring
	ing awareness and change to social inequalities by promoting through t
	heir music a message of equality and freedom.\n\nOf course\, whilst di
	stinctly home grown in nature\, Banawurun’s songs are universally re
	levant. This was confirmed with the bands 2006 tour to the US\, which 
	culminated in a showcase performance at the world famous Viper Room in
	 Los Angeles as part of MUSEXPO. Here delegates and press affectionate
	ly labeled Banawurun “The poster children of Australia”.\n\nMusica
	lly rooted within the cultures of the two singer songwriters\, Banawur
	un takes the baton from iconic acts like Yothu Yindi and the Warumpi B
	and\, fusing traditional indigenous instruments and ideas with new roo
	ts music sensibilities. With three EP’s released throughout 2007 –
	 each with the expert production of ARIA award winning producer Paulie
	 B (George\, The Beautiful Girls) – This upcoming national tour serv
	es as a teaser and precursor to band’s debut full-length release.\n\
	nThere is no band whose distinctly Australian\, culturally vital and s
	onically powerful music stands to represent the new roots music moveme
	nt like Banawurun’s does.\n\nThe Nightwatch Tour\n\nFriday June 6 to
