Heinz Riegler Announces Tour, Cassette

Related: Heinz Riegler.
Heinz Riegler will take a break from recording his debut solo album when he embarks on an east-coast tour in October. Riegler, a former member of Not From There and Nightstick, will perform shows in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne in support of a new limited-edition cassette.
Titled Survey #1, the tape features cuts from Riegler’s forthcoming album, as well as instrumental compositions commissioned by Queensland’s Gallery of Modern Art, some rare I/03 recordings and previously unheard material of collaborations spanning the past 10 years. And trust us when we say limited: a mere 60 copies will only be available at shows. The cassette also features artwork by Alex Gillies of No Anchor fame.
Riegler has recently augmented his live shows with Meredith McHugh (ex-Rational Academy, Delpino), Seja Vogel (Sekiden, Regurgitator) and Susie Patten (I Heart Hiroshima). They will accompany him on most legs of the tour.

bloody cassettes!
The Tuesday Old Bar gig is also my exhibition opening. Should be a cracking good time.
This is all cool and stuff, but why is he wearing that hat?
anyone heard him? what's his solo stuff like?
i saw his solo show at the toff last time he was here. it was quite arresting. just him, no mics, no lights, just him and his guitar and his voice in the dark of the toff. really lovely show.
no mics?!
the solo shows have been amazing - not taking anything away from the killer lineup he's assembled - just that, for me, the quartet hasnt yet hit the peaks those first few solo nylon string shows did....im sure theyll get there tho.
oh, finally bothered to actually read the article.
werd.
Wow, have seen the Heinz + ladies show, it is spectacular. Stoked so many Melbourne shows!
When Heinz last played the old bar it was just him on a nylon string acoustic. No mic's, no guitar strap, he just stood in the middle of the floor and it was great. Can't wait to see him play again. An all round lovely chap and fantastic songwriter.
the cassettes look amazing. alex does wonderful work.
i personally love the shows with the girls. meredith is flawless and her voice works wonderfully with heinz
true - their duet is a real set highlight!

60 is a very small amount to release... I can imagine them all selling out before he makes it to Melbourne!
Is it just me, or are cassette releases the most pretentious thing ever?
why are they pretentious? its just a way of putting out music, no different to putting out vinyl.
i like tapes. i lose cds and generally leave them all over the floor till they are so scratched they are unlistenable. tapes and vinyl seem to have more permanence to them
Home taping is killing music. Cassettes are the work of the devil!
Nah, I love tapes.

i finally get a cassette player hooked up and it sounds like the recent heatwave in Sydney has melted/damaged the tape.
