New Pornographers Live In Australia

The joint Americo-Canadian coalition of The New Pornographers were recently Sydney, Australia playing an eighteen song set to fans. Happily, there was a video camera present.

The gig took place on October 12, 2008 at the Annandale Hotel in Antipodeanland.

The New Pornographers release their latest album Challengers back in the year currently known as '2007'. Work on its follow-up is already underway, with front-man A.C. Newman remarking:

"With Challengers, we moved as far in this direction as we can go, unless we turn into M. Ward or something... The songs I find myself writing these days are a little bit more rock, but that's as far as I can say."

You can watch the band's set at the Annandale Hotel at their Moshcam page.
