Q's House - Voted one of their Top 10 Artists for 2009

More from our friends at Q's House radio from Orlando Florida in the USA.

Q himself sent us a message today saying that we had been voted one of the station's top 10 artists of 2009. This was voted by fans of the station at a recent listening party.

We're the only non-American band in the top 10.

On January 6, Q will hold another listening party to have people vote for the top 5. After that, it will go to a panel of industry judges who will decide on the Artist of the year.

We're really grateful that people we've never met are voting for the band in this way.

Thank you guys... and thanks also to Q for his ongoing support of Tonk.

Cheers!

We'd encourage you all to support Q's House and tune in. Here's the link to Q's site:

Summernats

We've been selected to play the opening slot at Australia's biggest car show.

We'll be supporting two Aussie legends Noiseworks & the Screaming Jets as well as fellow local louts - our mates in Night Train.

Summernats is known for it's raucous party crowd and an incredible collection of stunning cars.

Check it out at: http://www.summernats.com.au

We were selected to play the show by our local FM radio station - FM 104.7.

These guys have been incredibly supportive of us through the last four years, particularly when we launched our album, and we're really grateful to Scotty Masters, Nige, Knuckles & all the good people at FM 104.

To this day they're still the only Australian radio station that's played anything from the album and we love them for it.

Kudos guys!

We owe you many beers.

We'll post photos of the show when we have them.

Get Ready To Rock - UK Review

Thanks for reviewing us guys.

Cheers!

A very retro sound here - updated for the 21st century. There's a distinct sleaze sound with an indie edge; think 80s sleaze a la Hanoi Rocks but much more mainstream trad metal. Yes it's blistering, with a hint of blues metal in there.

There are some big guitar sounds, especially in the song endings, a strong touch of AC/DC there, but much more extreme. The first break from this is 'Libertine' with a moodier indie metal opening. Even so, it's rifftastic. The intro to the album's title track will see Motley Crue and AC/DC fans uniting in their headbanging.

It's a little samey, but a lot of fun. ***½
