Following a run of sold out shows in Melbourne, Frankston's fab four The Gnomes have announced the six-date “Dive! Dive! Dive! Rock'n'Roll Dive Bar Tour” across Victoria and New South Wales throughout January and February,.
The NSW gigs include a support spot to Viagra Boys at the Hordern Pavilion. The band has a string of regional Victorian shows coming up, including two with Hockey Dad, and they have been included in recent line-up announcements by Frankston's Waterfront Festival (7 February) and Flippin' The Bird (28 February) as well as Golden Plains (8 March).
The six Victorian “Dive! Dive! Dive!” shows are all priced at $20 and are door sales only, so no booking fees. The Sydney Lansdowne and Wollongong Dicey Riley's gigs are both free admission.
Things are happening for The Gnomes. Mojo's David Fricke gave their debut album a four-star and a full-page story. The UK magazines are all over them. The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald followed a pre-album feature on the band and included the band in their "25 Best New Aussie Artists of 2025" end of year feature.
The debut album "The Gnomes" is out on Dog Meat Records (through Tweak Distro in Australia, FMD in UK/Europe/Japan and Revolver in the US). Check it out here.
