After what must be their 10,000th (give or take a few) voyage to their favourite touring destination, Ben Ottewell and Ian Ball, founding members of the legendary Gomez, return to Australia for another run of unforgettable, up-close-and-personal shows. This time, it’s by request – YES! ‘Gomez By Request’ is calling all fans of, ‘Tijuana Lady’, ‘Me, You and Everybody’ to ‘See The World’ – through the eyes of Ian Ball and Ben Ottewell as they ‘Bring Your [their] Lovin’ Back Here’ to Australia.
Expect the best tunes, from the best of 25 years touring Australia, and the best albums Bring It On, Liquid Skin, and beyond, all delivered with Ben Ottewell’s unmistakable growl and Ian Ball’s melodic brilliance.
No rules. Just two mates, two guitars, some electronic stuff, and decades of songs that have soundtracked road trips, breakups, breakdowns and breakthroughs. It’ll be intimate and loose, but it’s your chance to hear the songs you love, the way you’ve never heard them before. By request.
Come be a part of Gomez By Request on another grand lap of Australia with two of the best to ever do it. Oh, and they’re bringing Buddy along for the ride. Make sure you fill out the song request form here: bit.ly/GomezByRequest, get your request in, and Bring It On.
The Northern, Byron Bay, on Friday from 8pm. Tickets from oztix.com.au.
