Sparkadia's last hurrah for 2008

The best thing about Sydney's Sparkadia isn't their fantastic ability to create, mould and give birth to magnificent pop songs. Nor is it the great way they cover TLC songs and make them sound like dirty dirty punk tunes. It's the way they listen.

Back in May we TOTALLY burned them for their tiny eeny weeny national album tour AND they obviously took it to heart and decided the next time they head out to do a lap around the country they were gonna do it all proper - REAL MAN style!

Tah-dah! Sparkadia are doing a slightly gigantic national tour. Their LAST shows for two oh oh eight.
