Ohana will beat you dead... with their awesomeness!

Ohana's highly anticipated second album now has an official release date (September 22) and a tracklisting...

One On Four
When Things Come Alive
End Fabric Indefinite
Bad Credit Good Posture
The Birth Of The Clinic
They Scoundrels
Foreign Profession

... and a title (DEAD BEAT) ... AND cover artwork...

Ohana - Dead Beat

Holy shit! We just kept on giving there didn't we?

You thought it was over and then there was more and more and then even a little bit more. It was kinda like The Price Is Right when they describe the final showcase and peeps lose their shit as a somewhat endless 'bonanza' is unveiled.

The album, recorded with Neil Thomason at Head Gap, Melbourne and mastered by Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering Services, will be released on the group's own label, Imperative Residence.

In support of the new record, Ohana will be heading out for an extensive national tour:

Friday, October 3: Music Farmers, Wollongong (*)
Saturday, October 4: Spectrum, Sydney
Friday, October 10: Brisbane Hotel, Hobart
Saturday, October 11: Arts Alive, Launceston (*)
Thursday, October 16: TBA, Newcastle
Saturday, October 18: Rosie's, Brisbane
Thursday, October 23: Hyde Park Hotel, Perth
Friday, October 24: Shape, Perth
Saturday, October 25: Jade Monkey, Adelaide
Thursday, October 30: Gangbusters, Canberra
Friday, November 1: The Birmingham, Melbourne

* All ages show.

You can also catch the band this Sunday (August 24) at the Hopetoun Hotel playing alongside Melbourne's Bachelor Of Arts and Sydney's own masters of 'space rock party jams' - Ghosts Of Television. An absolutely unmissable show.
