	Dead Letter Records present the "Autumn of the Unknown Tour" with Goth Alt. Country act Brillig, and Acoustic Pop duo Goldentone (feat. singer/songwriter Tim Hudspith). The last in a cycle of seasonal trips, (which began in July '07 with the "Dead of Winter", followed by the "Sorrow of Spring" & "Summer of Discontent"), the moody-titled tour series aptly represents the bands' trademark style of melancholic, yet strangely uplifting, melodic music. Cult act Brillig are well known in their hometown of Adelaide for their odd blend of goth & country/folk. Described as "curiously dark in the tradition of Lewis Carroll, ... with days-gone-by poetic flair" (dB Magazine), Brillig's music features male/female harmonies, acoustic guitar, viola, harmonica, banjo, piano accordion, plus the NEW ADDITION of ukulele & autoharp. Signed to Germany's Black Rain label, Brillig's music has been receiving rave reviews & airplay all over Europe & the USA, and an overseas tour is in the works for early 2009. Back home, brillig have recently supported the nation's top acts in the alt. acoustic scene, including ARIA-winning act The Audreys, CW Stoneking, Sime Nugent, Andrew Morris, Ned Collette, & The Handsome Family (USA). Brillig also toured nationally throughout '07, playing in all capital cities east of SA. Tim Hudspith (Goldentone) has been carving a niche for himself in the local original music scene since moving to Ballarat just over a year ago. Originally hailing from Adelaide he has played over 250 gigs all over Australia, including major events like the Big Day Out.	CLICK for Full Poster
	Over the years, this Goldentone frontman has also enjoyed national airplay, great reviews and has supported acclaimed artists such as Ed Kuepper, The Go-Betweens and The Stone Roses. With musical influences ranging from Nick Cave & The Church to Johnny Cash & Mazzy Star, Tim's sweet melodies & dark voice are compelling and addictive. Recently teaming up with Ballarat guitarist extraordinaire, Adam Seery, Goldentone's sound is soaring to new heights with Tim's chimey Rickenbacker perfectly complemented by Adam's thoughtful and powerful guitar riffs/rhythms. For the "Autumn of the Unknown Tour", Brillig and Goldentone return to the charming Maryborough Railway Station Cafe on Friday 9th May for a dinnertime performance (7:30pm; book early to reserve a table!). For this show they will be joined by the lovely piano accordion act, Madame's Lament, performing an eclectic mix of original material andarrangements of french folk/classical tunes. Next stop is Castlemaine on Saturday 10th May, where Brillig & Goldentone hit the stage of the famed Five Flags Hotel (8:30pm), plus a very special instore appearance at Burke's Music store (2pm). Come along to the best music shop in the Goldfields, hear some unplugged tunes & grab a CD or two. The bands have also added Melbourne to their itinerary for this trip, doing a low-key Sunday arvo set on 11th May at North Melbourne's Town Hall Hotel (5pm). Brillig & Goldentone complement each other beautifully, and have enjoyed playing together in Adelaide, Canberra, and of course regional Victoria. Having found an appreciative & intrigued audience in the Goldfields, these engaging acoustic acts plan to further expand their seasonal treks to include the VIC coast and regional SA in latter 2008.
