As most of you may know by now, after 21 years as a band, Powderfinger have decided this will be their last year together. Recently on their website the band stated: "With the completion of our last album, 'Golden Rule', we feel that we have said all we want to say as a musical group."
Three-time ARIA winners for Album of the Year (Internationalist, Odyssey Number Five and Vulture Street), Powderfinger has been nominated for a total of 28 ARIAs in their career, taking home 16 of them.
The band has definitely had a glowing musical career. Many Aussies may remember the band for songs like, "The Day You Come", "Passenger" and "My Happiness" as their first taste of Powderfinger, back in their school days.
Powderfinger have decided to end their career on a high with one last headlining tour. The Sunsets tour will be heading to Townsville with Aussie rockers Jet in support, about three years after their Across the Great Divide marathon tour with Silverchair. So make sure you don't miss the final opportunity to see Powderfinger live. The band will be performing at the Townsville Entertainment Centre on 1 October. Tickets go onsale 9am Friday 30 April.
If I may borrow some words from Bernard Fanning himself, Powderfinger, "I just want to wish you well."
Powderfinger have made such a contribution to the music industry. I hadn't realised they had been around for so long
