THE RED PAINTINGS PRESENT THE "WE BELONG IN THE SEA" AUSTRALIAN TOUR
Before heading to the U.S. in April, The Red Paintings will be doing a tour throughout Australia in support of their newest single and music video, "We Belong In The Sea."
As the band has been wrapped up in recording their debut full length, and will be in America for some time, we wanted to make sure to hit some cities we haven't been to in a while. This tour will be a temporary farewell to all of our wonderful Australian fans, and will most likely be the only Australian tour in 2008. To thank all of you for your support on the recording of "The Revolution Is Never Coming", we will be playing songs which you've never heard live before. In addition, we will be giving out 5 pairs of tickets (10 total) per show to those who donated $40 or more to us in the past year (more on that below).
The dates are as follows, tickets on-sale Friday 22nd February, with additional info (including support) to be announced soon.

Friday 14 March
Fisherman's Wharf (Fisho's) – Gold Coast
18+ | Tickets $15
Saturday 15 March
388 – Fortitude Valley – Brisbane
18+ | Tickets $20
Saturday 5 April
Factory Theatre – Sydney
All Ages | Tickets - $20

National Hotel – Geelong
18+ | Tickets At Door Only - $15
Friday 11 April

PAINTERS & HUMAN CANVASES WANTED!
Since these shows will be themed after the "We Belong In The Sea" single and music video, we hope to capture the haunting beauty and overall feel of the song in a live setting. In order to do so, we want to try some new things out for all of you, but don't want to give too much away. However, as always, we want to have a few lucky participants directly involved in our journey. The band is currently working on set designs and plans for our human canvases, to bring the audience down under the sea with us...if you are interested in participating, please contact us ASAP by e-mailing seatour@theredpaintings.com with the subject "The Red Paintings Sea Painter" or "The Red Paintings Sea Canvas". If you are interested in painting for these shows, a sample of your work would be preferred (but not required). We will be selecting four painters, and two canvases or each show and would like to get everything locked in and explained to you as far in advance as possible.
TICKET CONTEST!
If you are not interested in being a human canvas or a painter at these shows, and have donated $40 or more to us in the past year, you're eligible for free tickets! The first 5 people from each city to forward seatour@theredpaintings.com the receipt you received (when you donated) will receive free tickets. Please include which show you would like to attend in the header...for example "BRISBANE We Belong In The Sea Tour Tickets". If you are a winner, you will be put on the VIP list, allowed to hang backstage with the band, and be a part of many other surprises.
These shows will be like nothing you've ever seen before from TRP, and we are very excited to share them with you before leaving for MUSEXPO -- these will be filling us with the good energy and positive vibes we need to have on our tails returning to the States, so the more of you who can join us for these, the better.
More info soon. See you out there.

THE RED PAINTINGS & THEIR FANS START THEIR OWN REVOLUTION!
Six months ago, The Red Paintings embarked on a gamble and an idea hoping to answer a question: Could a band (without record label or management), raise funding to professionally record a full length LP, solely relying on the help of its one of a kind fan-base? As of this past weekend, the band had been blessed to find out; the answer is a resounding YES, they have done it! Many people believed it was impossible, but The Red Paintings have hit their target and raised $40, 0000 towards their debut album via fan donations.
Before recent alternative means, anti-label newsmakers Radiohead and Saul Williams, The Red Paintings were hard at work on their debut full length LP, "The Revolution Is Never Coming". Completely fueled by the charity of their fans -- from a few bucks, to in some cases hundreds of dollars -- every cent made a huge difference...as lead songwriter Trash McSweeney pointed out on the bands official forum this past July, donations of $40 or more not only counted as a "thank you" in the liner notes, but also as a pre-order for the record upon it's production... Though the band is about to dive head-long into their last month in the studio and readying of the artwork for the LP (with an expected release mid 2008), we had to share this bit of information with everyone, and thank you for all of your help and support throughout this battle.
A message from songwriter Trash McSweeney:
THANK YOU to everyone who has supported us to create our debut record, not just financially, but creatively as well.
For the past six months, we have been lucky enough to work here in Australia with New York producer Tidy Kid, all the while seeing a 35 piece string orchestra, harp, painters, woodwinds, brass (including french horns, trombone, and trumpet), and even a theremin, thru the studio. Fans have also come in and helped build choirs, leaving their own "fingerprints" on the record, which has made this piece of art much more special and true to me.
I think this is an incredible achievement for a band who has had very minimal support from the Australian Music Industry. We have had many doors closed in our faces, but despite many blows, we've kept getting up and pushed through, with the help and respect from our fans and friends...I am so amazed with this achievement, and consider myself very lucky -- you all have seen me through some of the toughest times.
When we decided to run with this idea, I was unsure and worried we weren't going to pull it off, but in the end you afforded me the ability to create this album the way I needed it to feel. It was important for me to do at least this one record on my own terms -- without outside pressure -- and you have afforded us that opportunity.
I had no idea just how much love and respect there was for us, and I am truly blown away that we have been able to finish this on our terms. I've dreamt of creating this record for six years, and we are finally in the last stages.
Again, thanks to all of you.
Here's to a successful new decade for The Red Paintings.
Next stop, US of A.

BE A PART
OF THE RED PAINTINGS HISTORYÂ…THE REVOLUTION
IS COMING?
"I would like
to give special thanks to those of
you who have helped us record and
release the new ‘Feed the Wolf’ EP.
It was such a new experience to create
in. All of these songs are my life.
They are everything I believe in and
feel each day. You have allowed me
to express that to so many people,
thank you.
We are going to try our luck again
and see if we can raise 40 thousand
+ to record our debut album in August.
We have New York producer
‘Tidy Kid’, residing in Brisbane,
producing the album (he also
produced “Feed the Wolf”). We have
booked the studio and he is hiring
out the best gear from all around
the world as we speak. We will be
recording the album over 3 months
starting in August using an orchestra
and choir. We need your help. We want
you to own a piece if it and help
us keep sailing through uncharted
waters. If we can get 1000
people to donate $40 or more, then
we have an album. This is
the one IÂ’ve always wanted to create
and have waited for all my life. No
more EPÂ’s? Consider it a pre-order
I guess. If you donate $40 or more,
then you have pre-ordered your copy
and of course we will add your name
to the special thank yous. We donÂ’t
have a long time to find the cash
and I have no idea how, but we will
get there. Either I'm brave or stupid.
EEK!" Trash xx
If you would like to help us produce
our debut album, we ask for a minimum
donation of $40. Your donated money
will ensure that The Red Paintings
will be able to produce the long awaited
album ‘The Revolution is Never Coming’.
If you would like to donate under
$40, that would help and would be
much appreciated. Those who donate
$40 or more will have their name credited
on the CD for helping The Red Paintings
produce the album. They will get a
signed copy of the CD sent to them
anywhere around the globe. We only
need a 1000 people to donate a minimum
of $40 to help The Red Paintings achieve
their first album. Be a part of this
history making bandÂ’s dream and help
make ‘The Revolution is Never Coming’
a reality.
As a special thank you from the band,
those who donate to the album will
receive a personal invitation
to a private acoustic show
inside the studio the night before
production commences in August. Sadly
this show will only take place in
Brisbane , Australia . This will be
a good opportunity for those supporting
TRP to meet them personally, take
a look around the studio and be a
part of whatÂ’s going to be the life
of Trash, Tidy Kid, and all involved
in the creative side of the album
for the next 3 months. We are all
very grateful for your support. If
we pull this off, it's going to be
an incredible time for all involved.
All donations can be sent via pay
pal store@theredpaintings.com,
Bank Deposit or Money Order. Please
email milkbar@theredpaintings.com
for deposit details or more info.
Once again we would be nowhere without
our fans & friends, and we are
so grateful for your support and keeping
us creative outside our bedrooms.
Go to TRPÂ’s official forum for weekly
updates on the current amount of funds
raised and new album devolpments.

the new single “Feed The Wolf”
As you all know TRP
are an independent act. So when its

becomes very hard to financially support
a release. Well, especially at this

Wolf” & DVD band doco, “Seizure
& Synesthesia”. We are hoping
to raise around $1000+ in funds and
then we promise to hit the road again
in June/July for some shows and meet
and greets.
What we are asking
is for anyone to give us a minimum
donation of $10 or more for the privilege
to have your name in the CD sleeve
as a special thank you for your support
and you will also receive the single
a week before it hits stores. You
will need to provide your name and
contact details and we will send you
a free copy of the new disk signed
by all band members, as well as that
you will go into the draw to win a
night out with any TRP member. ThatÂ’s
right were pimping ourselves out to
you lovely people. An evening with
a band member of your choice and some
extra goodies to go with. We will
be placing all names into a hat and
announcing the winner ‘live to air’
on the bands myspace (time/date TBA)
All donations can
be Pay pal store@theredpaintings.com,

Dresden Dolls, The Red Paintings return
home to Brisbane to play an exclusive
benefit show, an All Ages
at Gardens point QUT Guild Bar in
Brisbane on Sat 30th Sept.
The band then head off on a
whirlwind tour of America & just
announced UK, London tour.
We are very excited to announce that
Jason Webley (USA), Brillig (Adelaide)
& the Orphanarium will
be special guests for the Brisbane
show and are donating their services
to help raise funds for the bands
insane tour and to help recover from
recent tragedies. This week before
the Adelaide show some-one smashed
the bands Tarago window stealing over
$13,000 dollars worth of equipment,
including all the paintings that were
created on this tour and all paints
which meant no more paintings could
be created for the last two shows
in Adelaide and Perth. Any one interested
in donating funds to the band can
do so by paypal at: store@theredpaintings.com
Or email: management@theredpaintings.com.
Tickets for the benefit show
are on sale now at Skinnys and Rocking
Horse and at the venue on the night
if available.
On the last night of the Aust tour
the DDÂ’s personally invited TRP to
play support for their London
shows, which isnÂ’t bad for
a band with no Agent or Record label,
doing things independently and still
playing in front of thousands of people
around the world each night and somehow
surviving! Exciting times.

differences. Their current EP “Destroy

have finally resolved the issues which
have interrupted our EP release and
are so relieved that fans will be
able to purchase the EP again.” said
singer Trash McSweeney. “Our creative
freedom is so important to us and
at this point in our career, we decided
that being independent is a better
way forward for all parties involved.
We have worked with MRA in the past
and they understand what we need as
an independent. For us it feels like
coming home.” The band's previous
EP “Walls” and previous catalogue
