'''The Lytic Cycle embraces DIY ethic in Australian tour'''
Hailing from sunny Queensland, The Lytic Cycle (TLC) are about to embark on their first major Australian tour.
The ambitious DIY Lobotomy Tour will see the band take in NSW, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania, as well as the band’s home state.
TLC vocalist Craig Ballington said the band had embraced the DIY theme for the ambitious tour, organising all shows, transport, accommodation and promotion themselves.
“It’s been a big learning curve and involved hundreds of emails and phone calls to organise everything ourselves—especially for our first big tour—but this band has always been very DIY.
“We’re really pumped to get out there and see some fresh faces... Hopefully it all pays off!” he said.
