The band travelled to Australia mid 2010 to gain experience in a country that breathes rock music and have performed a number of shows in Victoria and NSW with some great Aussie bands to acclimatise in the lead up to 'Le Downside Up Tour'.
Kicking off in SE Queensland April 29th, the band has made an impression signing to Australia's Blue Tongue Management, the band recorded their first single 'Dead On The Ground' in Sydney which was mixed by Scott Kingman (The Screaming Jets) and will be launched via Australian label Lungata Records 29th April in time for their Gold Coast show.
Harmonic Generator recorded a second track to go with their original, one they heard while touring Australia and reminded them of home, 'The Angels' Marseille. The band has turned a classic Oz rock song into an aggressive punk rumble rock and in the words of The Angels publicist Catherine Swinton, "My son loves it and so do I!!!!! Got a Foo Fighters Angry sound."
'Le Downside Up Tour' engulfs Geelong, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast and Ipswich and every show hosts lashings of Australia's hottest rock, metal and punk bands from each region including a massive day at Brisbane's multi stage Caxton Street Seafood & Wine Festival with bands such as New Zealand's Shihad.
Harmonic Generator head back to Europe after May for the northern hemisphere summer festival season and will be returning to Australia early 2012 to complete their debut album for release in that year
