The Birthday Massacre are more than just a band: they're a worldwide
phenomenon. Hailing from rock-capital Toronto, Canada, in the eight
years since the band formed they have found success the world over,
with large and loyal fanbases from Austria to Australia and everywhere
inbetween. Defying categorisation, The Birthday Massacre's sound is
somewhere between electronica and guitar rock, infused with story-like
elements of children's fiction and fantasy, mixed with gothic
sensuality, industrial grind and dark sonic distortion. Their music
has been uniquely dubbed 'post-retro'. For the very first time,
patient Australian fans are at last invited to take part in The
Birthday Massacre experience.

Tour dates are:
20/11, Brisbane, The Zoo
21/11, Sydney, Manning Bar (All Ages)
22/11, Melbourne, Central Club Hotel, Richmond
23/11, Perth, Gilkisons

The Birthday Massacre's line up is: vocalist Chibi, guitarists Rainbow
and Mike Falcore, keyboardist Owen, drummer Rhim and the recently
returned O.E. on bass.

The band was formed in 2000 and independently produced and recorded
their first two albums, "Nothing and Nowhere" and "Violet". Due to
their independent success, in 2005 they were approached by European
record label Repo Records (followed shortly by Metropolis Records in
North America) and the band began its steady climb to reaching a much
wider audience. 2005 also marked the bands first European festivals, a
video for "Blue" and the independent creation of a small DVD
collection of videos.

In 2007 the band released their highly popular album "Walking With
Strangers" produced by long time Skinny Puppy collaborator Dave 'Rave'
Ogilvy to public and press acclaim, seeing the album debut at number
10 on the Billboard charts in the US. Touring in the last couple of
years since the release of 'Walking with Strangers' has seen the band
performing internationally, traveling across Canada, the United
States, Mexico, and many European countries. They have become renowned
for their high-energy live performances, drawing large mixed crowds
through their appeal to fans of a surprisingly wide range of genres.
Equally comfortable playing intimate venues as they are on a festival
stage, the band's highly-praised performances will continue into the
next year as they continue touring "Walking With Strangers". The tour
brings them to Australia for the first time, where they will showcase
their second single from 'Walking With Strangers' - "The Looking
Glass EP" plus their first single "Kill the Lights" and tracks from
the earlier albums "Nothing and Nowhere" and "Violet".
