“Rattlin’ Bones”, the new collaboration album by Kasey Chambers &
Shane Nicholson, has entered the Australian ARIA Charts at #1!
The gang is currently preparing to head off on the first leg of the
‘Acoustic Tour’, kicking off in regional Victoria on May 7. Dates
have been posted in the “Live Shows” section, and there are more

Rattlin’ Bones
Shane Nicholson has made a new album in collaboration with Kasey
Chambers. The album is titled “Rattlin’ Bones” and is set for
release in Australia on April 19. Overseas fans should keep their
eyes peeled for international release dates soon.
The album is a collection of 14 duet-style songs, most of which were
co-written by Shane & Kasey, with a few written separately. This
record marks a departure for both artists from their most recent
work, having a much more stripped-back, roots/country vibe, recorded
‘live’ in only 8 days. The album was produced by Nash Chambers and
Shane, and is to be released through independent label Liberation.
An extensive tour is planned for the coming year. Dates can be found
in the ‘Live Shows’ section, or at the brand new “Kasey and Shane” info
site (www.kaseyandshane.com)
Stay tuned for more…

sleeping...x
Time For A Change…
After 8 splendid years of working together, Shane Nicholson and

An Important Message
There’ve been a few whispers regarding some December NSW shows. Just
to inform everyone, these shows were never actually confirmed and
won’t be happening. Don’t believe what you read
unless it's here! After a very busy year, Shane will now be
crawling into a small hole where no one from the music industry can
find him. He’s started writing songs for a planned 2007 album, and
is looking forward to some time at home and sleeping in his own bed.
Video Room
Check out the new 'Video Room' where you can catch all
Shane's clips. Over the coming weeks we'll be adding exclusive footage
including a track by track interview for "Faith & Science" with some
new insights into the making of the album with thoughts Shane hasn't
previously shared. Stay tuned and make yourself comfortable...
Shane is home again after doing some support slots for Kasey.
