Two of Australia’s most cherished singer-songwriters and sometimes Basement Birds band mates Josh Pyke and Bob Evans have announced a co-headline tour, Another Evening with Josh Pyke and Bob Evans, from 24 November through to mid-December.
Josh Pyke and Bob Evans embarked on their first Evening with Josh and Bob tour a decade ago.
“That first Evening with Josh and Bob ten years ago was a fairly rudimental affair in retrospect,” Bob Evans explains. “We were both very much still finding our feet. Now, we have higher professional standards to which we hold ourselves and those bawdy jokes of a burgeoning bromance have developed in to, well, bawdy dad jokes. Bah, who am I kidding? We’re not that different ten years on.”
