CHASE THE SUN – The Living Free Tour Sydney trio Chase The Sun are hitting the tarmac to launch their new double A-side single “Living Free/Sweet Candy”. The Living Free Tour will kick off with a show at The Vanguard in Sydney on April 8th and will take in the better part of the East Coast including Brisbane, Melbourne, Bluesfest in Byron Bay, and a bunch of places in between. The track Living Free sees Chase The Sun break from the acoustic roots sound of their debut album with a slab of cranking southern rock, fast and loud. Sweet Candy features the slide guitar at its sleaziest. Both tracks can be previewed at www.myspace.com/chasethesunband and will be available on iTunes from mid April.
