Pop youngster Owl City supports Cobra Starship
Robust young up n comer Adam Young will bring his alter ego Owl City to the table as the supporting act for pop rockers Cobra Starship, when they kick off on their national tour early next year.
The entrepreneurial 23-year-old rose to fame via the usual way these days, posting his sweet, tinkly electro-pop tunes on his MySpace and waiting for the world to come knocking. Forget knocking, the door was practically bashed down, as 35 million curious onlookers stopped by to see what all the fuss was about.
Owl City’s three albums, Of June, Maybe I’m Dreaming, and this year’s Ocean Eyes, have been downloaded over 33 000 times, garnering fans across the globe all by word of mouth. The US-native appears to prefer the online method for just about everything, conducting interviews via emails and relying little on media promotions.
But with Ocean Eyes debuting at #27 on the Billboard chart, online secrecy will be a thing of the past for this talented young chap, as he takes on Australian audiences alongside Cobra Starship next year.
Dates for the two pop sensations are as follows:
Tuesday 16 March UNSW Roundhouse, Sydney
Wednesday 17 March The Tivoli, Brisbane
Friday 19 March The HiFi, Melbourne
Saturday 20 March The HiFi, Melbourne
Sunday 21 March MetroCity, Perth
- Carley Hall
