completed One Will Hear The Other Tour

During February and March 2008 the band completed their One Will Hear The Other Tour, along Australia’s east coast, playing 30 shows. “One Will Hear the Other” (January 2008) was released ahead of their seventh studio album, Beautiful Machine (April 2008), co-produced by the group with Alan Moulder ( Nine Inch Nails , The Killers , Billy Corgan ) and Scott Horscroft ( the Sleepy Jackson , the Presets , the Panics ) at Melbourne’s Sing Sing Studios. In the second half of the year they toured New Zealand on the Beautiful Machine Tour promoting the album, which reached No. 1 in New Zealand and No 11 in Australia. For the tour they played medium-sized venues including Wellington Town Hall , with support from the Mint Chicks and Luger Boa. Shihad also toured with Gyroscope around Australia for that group’s Australia Tour during that year. For New Year’s Eve 2008/2009 the band performed in Gisborne , followed by shows later in January at the Coroglen Tavern and the Lake Hāwea Motor Inn.
