Lowlakes is an alternative group based in Melbourne. We make cinematic pop music and have just released our debut album Iceberg Nerves. We've recently been invited to play at a number of significant music festivals in Europe and to release and tour Iceberg Nerves across Europe between July and October.

This will be our fourth and most significant international tour to date - we released and toured our debut EP to the USA in 2012 and to Europe twice in 2013 and once in March/April this year - providing Lowlakes with an unique opportunity to build on the extensive ground-work we've done and to play large festival audiences and expand our presence in the European music market.

We're originally from Alice Springs in the central Australian desert and being childhood friends have always aspired to tour our music around the world. We're really excited to present our new album to people across Europe.

We've worked hard touring and promoting our album and EP to finance our trip, covering living expenses and accommodation. We're asking for your support to help us finance a tour van and a back-line (drums and amps) - the final step to help us realise this fantastic opportunity.

06.07.14 DE Stuttgart / Marienplatz Festival
26.07.14 AT Göfis / Open Hair Festival
02.08.14 DE Münster / Auf Weiter Flur Festival
