Cog Come Out Of Hiatus For 2016 Reunion Tour

February 10, 2016

Sydney prog-rockers Cog have announced their comeback after a five-and-a-half year hiatus, with some east coast shows now lined up for July.

Kicking off in Byron Bay on 8th July, the band’s reunion tour will also head to Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney to give loyal fans the chance to check out how much juice the trio’s huge live show still has, and whether or not any new tracks will be on display.

Earlier this month, Cog teased fans by a number of not-so-subtle updates to their Facebook page, including a new profile picture, cover photo and some galleries of old tour posters and stage passes. As it turns out, fans who took these updates as something not completely random were actually onto something.

Cog went on hiatus in 2010 after 12 years of solid touring and two studio albums, including their latest full-length, 2008’s Sharing Space. Since then, the band’s Lucius Borich has spent some time in Floating Me before joining The Nerve alongside longtime collaborator Ezekiel Ox. In 2012, Cog brothers Flynn and Luke Gower also launched their musical project The Occupants.
