AXXONN Media Release - 'Small' Oz Tour

Tom Hall, AXXONN & Ambrose Chapel back on the road.

Dropping home after some 25 shows across Europe and the UK that saw them playing in underground basements in Berlin, Vineyards in Italy and abandoned hairdressing salons in Glasgow, AXXONN's, Tom Hall (Solo, TRIAD) and Ian Rogers (No Anchor) take off shortly on their debut Australian shows outside of Brisbane.

Drawing from inspiration gained from their experiences while completing their recent tour, AXXONN have honed and shaped their previous sound, developing their varying sludgy beats and crossing it all with the finest Italian noise and drone, leaving them with a sound that still entices the senses but sits more solidly on foundations. Leaving many 'laptop modeled' bands drowning in clichés, AXXONN pride themselves on their down and gritty ethos taking to using a host of outboard equipment more likened to noise or rock/metal bands but still with a sprinkling of hundreds and thousands. After these shows AXXONN will be on a small 3 month hiatus as Hall leaves to the US for solo commitments.

With varied descriptions in recent times including;

"Soft elements join a reduced drum as quiet tones get f**ked up by bellowing noise" (Foxy Digitalis, July '09)

"Melodies that sparkle like alien vessels on a pulp science fiction cover" (Mess+Noise, August '09)
