We caught up with Augie March drummer, Dave Williams, ahead of the band’s shows at Melbourne Recital Centre as part of RISING festival.
In 2000, now-acclaimed Aussie indie rockers Augie March came onto the scene with their debut album,
Sunset Studies. They’d already released a few EPs back in ’97 and ’99, but this was their first major record.
The album not only made an impact and established the band within the Australian music landscape, but it attracted a loyal fanbase that has stayed with them ever since. And so, to celebrate that momentous album and its significance to both the band and their fans, Augie March are dusting it off and playing it in full for two Melbourne shows.
