The John Steel Singers vs Cloud Control battle royale (and national tour)

Brisbane's The John Steel Singers and Blue Mountains' Cloud Control are the kind of Diet Coke Decaf bands that are often heralded as 'the next band to get into if yo wanna be cool' in the weekend newspaper's 'funky' section. They are both highly enjoyable live acts, but that doesn't stop them being bands that your almost cool Auntie might like.

Some are calling this the 'tour of the decade'. The media release we received however has simply labeled it the 'Flying High Tour'.
