About this concert
Coldwater DFU - the album Mick Thomas' Roving Commission made in Memphis last year is finally out and the band are keen to get around the country and play it to people. Like its predecessor The Big Don't Argue - the album Mick and Wally recorded with weddings, Parties, Anything in Memphis thirty years ago - this is shaping up to be a record that finds its identity on the live stage.The Roving Commission 2019 is firing with the inclusion of lap steel maestro Nick O'Mara and alt-folk songbird Jac Tonks (otherwise known as Amarillo) and this run of dates sees Mick and his core band (Sqeezebox Wally, Dave Folley and Ben Franz) right up for the task of showing the country the fruits of their labour in studios of Tennessee. These are songs that will stand the test of time and what better place to blood them than in the pubs and clubs of Australia alongside the songs that have served Mick and his compatriots so well, for so long.Coldwater DFU is out March 8 on Bloodlines Musicwww.mickthomas.comhttps://www.facebook.com/MickThomasMusic

Mick Thomas Biography
Since the demise of the iconic WEDDINGS PARTIES ANYTHING in 1998, MICK THOMAS has barely taken his foot off the pedal for a moment - whether working solo, with his fine band THE SURE THING or on any amount of soundtracks and side projects. Mick has kept busy with his own label, CROXTON RECORDS, there's been numerous tours of the UK and Europe, China, Vietnam and North America, not to mention a fine list of independently released albums and now two albums for LIBERATION RECORDS.
In 2006 Mick released PADDOCK BUDDY - a record hailed by critics and fans alike as brimming with heartfelt tales of "everyday life and the mysteries inside everyone" - certainly his finest work to date post WPA.
Late 2006 saw WEDDINGS PARTIES ANYTHING come out of retirement for one headline appearance at the Queenscliff Festival - a show filmed and recorded by Madman Pictures as part of a DVD to be released by early 2008.
Mick has been heavily involved in the careers of many other Australian acts such as The Gadflys, The Re-mains, The Waifs, Darren Hanlon, Ruby Hunter, Nick Barker and The Vandas. Add to this his theatre work on the productions OVER IN THE WEST, THE TANK and RUN RABBIT RUN, his musical contribution to the stunning ABC website (also called DUST ON MY SHOES), sountracks for tele documentaries SHACKS, THE REAL WATER RATS, THE END OF THE GAME and LEFT LUGGAGE and his claims as a constant creative presence are substantial.
"Just when you imagine he can't have any more fabulous songs in him, he brings out an album like this ... he is Australia's last true balladeer..."
DJ, Forte Magazine, Geelong (talking about Dust On My Shoes)
" Mick Thomas, lyrically and musically, blows my mind. I inherited some testicular forte from Mick Thomas - more so than anyone he did me a spin, and gave me a lot of confidence"
Tim Rogers, Age EG Interview
"Dust On My Shoes makes you more than glad Mick Thomas has bothered to clock up the miles on his (seemingly) never ending tours as this grimy world would be a lot poorer without his engaging songs of life, love and experience..."
Tim Peacock, Whisperin' & Hollerin', UK
