Australian Shows
These Four Walls are playing two Australian shows in November. First, supporting APE BC and Bellusira at Club Blink in Sydney on the 19th, then playing the Capital Rock Music Festival in Canberra on the 20th with many other acts including Sydonia (VIC), Breaking Orbit (NSW), Tonk (ACT), Zero Degrees (ACT), Bellusira (VIC) & Hands Like Houses (ACT).
These Four Walls NZ Tour Announced.
Fresh from three blinding shows with The Butterfly Effect, These Four Walls will be hitting the road again this October, this time with emerging Australian act Bellusira.
Bellusira have been turning heads across the ditch, having released two successful EPs and gaining significant radio airplay on Triple J, while building a solid live following.
“With the melody of The Butterfly Effect, the fire of Rage Against The Machine and the commerciality of Evanescence, Bellusira push the musical boundaries to what will be the next wave of this genre – with songs equally suited to heavy rock arenas and mainstream radio”

These Four Walls touring with The Butterfly Effect
These Four Walls will be supporting Australian rock legends The Butterfly Effect and Kiwi ex-pats Jakob on their three-date tour of New Zealand in August. The dates are 26 August at the King’s Arms in Auckland, 27 August at Flow in Hamilton and 28 August at Bar Bodega in Wellington.
Pre-sale tickets are a very reasonable $15 and we’d recommend you DO buy in advance as these shows are very likely to sell out. Tickets can be purchased through http://www.moshtix.co.nz
One of Australia’s undisputed heavyweight touring acts, The Butterfly Effect are very excited to announce their debut New Zealand shows to align with the release of their latest album FINAL CONVERSATION OF KINGS.
Heading to the country straight off the back of a 24-date Australian tour, the Brisbane four-piece are certainly no strangers to heavy duty performances, …wowing audiences both internationally and at home with their progr…essive, melodic rock sound. Having spent a large part of their musical careers on the road, The Butterfly Effect have constantly pushed themselves, working hard to become one of the most jaw-dropping live bands in Australia.
With three ARIA Gold selling albums under their belt and over 200,000 catalogue sales in Australia, The Butterfly Effect’s third and most recent studio album ‘Final Conversation Of Kings’ will be released in New Zealand through Sony Music on Friday 20th August. ‘Final Conversation Of Kings’ has garnered four and five star reviews throughout Australia, and the first single ‘Window & The Watcher’ is at all media outlets now!
