Melbourne folk outfit Husky have given Music Feeds an insight into their continuing national tour, which will take the group through to mid-December. Backed by their latest new album Ruckers Hill, the band have already played a number of shows across the country, and have had a heap of fun along the way.
Husky have been touring the country since early November, and have already wrapped up their New South Wales and Queensland shows. The remainder of their 2014 tour will them through even more places they’re yet to visit in Tasmania, South Australia, Victoria, Western Australia and the Northern Territory.
Following their headline tour, Husky will also perform at Woodford Folk Festival 2014/2015 and Sydney’s Party In The Park in March. Details of the band’s remaining tour dates are available below.
The candid shots in Husky’s 2014 tour diary paint a picture of the ups and downs of touring life, the ups being days off and new music tech, the downs being stinking hot Australian weather and an almost over-flowing tour van. Catch Husky’s 2014 tour diary below, with some cheeky commentary from the band themselves.

This piano accordion was given to me by a family friend. I've recently learnt to play it and each night we've been performing the song 'Mirror' with the accordion and the amazing Ali Barter singing the vocal harmony. -

Yikes! Man mountain Arron Light sets up kit before soundcheck in steaming hot Brisneyland. -

Our one day off in Melbourne and we got to meet our new cousin/nephew. His name is Saul and we can't wait to train him up to play in the band. Probably guitar I think. -

Like ants over their ant hill. These are the days of our lives. -

En route to Toowoomba for our first show with bass player Ryan Monroe from the Cat Empire, who is filling in for the weekend. He's super pumped for these shows. -

Our tour manager and sound man Matt Landers. An extremely talented man who can reverse park a 12-seater van like no one else. It's wild! -

Ali Barter and her incredible band have opened for us on this tour. Such a pleasure to listen to their amazing songs every night. We love them! -

Me getting my keyboard rig ready for our show. Never totally satisfied with my setup but think I'm kinda getting there. New favourite piece of gear is the Roland space echo pedal. Lots of nice psychedelic tweakability 🙂
