The Bloodpoets to support the Whitlams! Posted on Thursday, August 6 2009 Brisbane five-piece, The Bloodpoets, have been confirmed to support the Whitlams on the band’s Tivoli show on Friday August 14 before playing Tooheys Extra Dry Uncharted Live at Coolangatta Hotel on Saturday August 15. This news comes as the Bloodpoets debut single ‘Borderline’ has just been released to radio which is taken from the band’s debut album due in stores later this year. “The song is about borderline emotional problems,” says Tom of the single. “People trying to cope with feeling different because of things they can’t change (i.e. personality disorders – obsessive, compulsives, etc)”. “The fight back element is really translatable to anybody who is feeling any sort of repression/suppression; so the song is about getting aggressive about the situation and changing it immediately for the better”. Immediate responses for the single were from Triple J where the band had been featured on unearthed for two months consecutively, and receiving a large circulation of play over the summer of 2008. Richard Kingsmill has described the single as “catchy and a brain sticker for sure.” Already, The Bloodpoets have snagged many high profile supports including The Boat People, British India, End of Fashion and The Whitlams. To seal this success off, the band were then picked up by Channel V and “Borderline” was the most requested song on Channel V online for 2 weeks running and is currently placed second on their online request site, and rated the number one band in the country on Austereo’s digital network, Radar Radio. The Bloodpoets - Tom Murphy (Vocals & Guitars), Jason Marles (Lead Guitar), Jake Parker (Bass), Todd Orchard (Drums) and Bec Plath (Keys & Backing Vocals) - will tour the east coast: Sydney, Melbourne, Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast and Brisbane throughout October. National tour dates will be announced in the coming weeks. Debut single, ‘Borderline’, at radio now. Tour dates are: Friday, August 14: The Tivoli, Brisbane, QLD with The Whitlams Saturday, August 15: Coolangatta Hotel, Gold Coast, QLD for Tooheys Extra Dry uncharted
