Win Tickets To Via Tania’s Sydney And Melbourne Shows!

Have you heard of Via Tania, kids? 

Via Tania is the “Alternative / Acoustic / Electronica” (MySpazz description, you know) outfit of Tania Bowers, a former member of Sydney noise-popsters SPDFGH. She moved to the States a while back and began producing strange, beautiful, adventurous tunes with the help of various talented folk you can look up in your own time you adorably earnest music buffs, and her latest offering ‘Moon Sweet Moon’ was produced by bona fide motherfucking musical genius Craig Ross (who has worked with the likes of Emmylou Harris, Daniel Johnston, Patty Griffin, Angie Hart and Spoon).

The aforementioned new record ‘Moon Sweet Moon’ has been album of the week on 2SER, FBi, and 4ZZZ, and the good news is that Via Tania is in “town” (ie: the country) and “bringing it” to (ie: performing at) assorted venues. She’s been supporting the gorgeous Clare Bowditch & The Breast-Feeding Set around town, but she’s also squeezed in a couple of solo shows which you must – MUST – make a concerted effort to attend if you have a soul.

Defamer Australia would like to help you do this by offering free tickets to Via Tania’s Sydney show on Saturday night and the Melbourne show on Sunday night. All you need to do is email tips at defamer.com.au and tell us what your favourite news story of the week was and which show you’d like to attend, and we’ll get in touch with the winner and sort out your name plus one on the door.

Let’s just assume for a moment you don’t win but – being a sexy and intelligent individual with impeccable taste in music – you still want to attend the shows. Here are all the details you require. You may thank us later in the form of Jager shots, please.
