EZEKIEL OX SIGNS SOLO DEAL WITH BIRD'S ROBE RECORDS AND ANNOUNCES NATIONAL "ON THE RECORD" HEADLINE TOUR - Supported by THE TWOKS

The voice and heartbeat of defunct underground heros Full Scale, Mammal, The Nerve, and the still firing Over-Reactor has a had a massive 2014 since announcing his solo ambitions in January.

This year has seen him support Boots Reily (The Coup, Street Sweeper Social Club), King Of The North, Sietta and Tim McMillan live, as well as appearing on stage and street with fellow buskers/headliners The Pierce Brothers (video). Forever relentless, he also found the time to write, record, mix and collate his debut EP "RAW STYLES", which has had tracks spun on JJJ and community radio around the country, and features B-side production from hip-hop bass guru James Mangohig (Briggs, Damn Moroda).

This has lead to Sydney's art-rock champions, Bird's Robe Records (sleepmakeswaves, The Red Paintings, 65 Days Of Static) getting on board to release "RAW STYLES" officially to coincide with the tour. Zeke couldn't be happier:

"Mike and Bird's Robe were instrumental in the development of the The Nerve, and I took RAW STYLES to him first when I was shopping it around. Having Bird's Robe on board gives me the support of a label that do it for the right reasons, and in the right way."

Described by showbiz renegade Eddie Perfect as "so good, he's dangerous", Ox is taking his new 'cyber/punk-hop/cabaret" around the country this October, November and December. He'll be holding court in VIC, NSW, QLD, ACT, SA, WA and NT, bringing the protest, the beat and his legendary energy to the far corners of Australia.

Joining him on the tour will be Melbourne's The Twoks, who have just finished supporting Adalita and Clare Bodwitch, as well as appearances at The Edinburgh Fringe and Woodford Folk Festivals. Lead by violin powerhouse Xani Kolac (who played on Mammal's second live album, as well as with You Am I at Golden Plains), they deliver high energy pop that is a must see live.

All 16 national dates are below, with more support announcements coming soon, so stay tuned.
