Treasured Australian alt-folk outlier Mick Thomas and his band The Roving Commission have just announced the forthcoming Boxing Day Drive EP and his traditional string of pre-Christmas dates across the country.

Compiled from particularly fruitful and inspired album recording dates in Memphis, Tennessee, Boxing Day Drive offers long-time fans a tantalising glimpse into the sessions that begat the band’s forthcoming full-length album release Cold Water DFU – due for release in 2019 and destined to leave yet another high water mark on Thomas’ already storied career.

Mick Thomas’ Roving Commission will launch Boxing Day Drive with a special media show on the 12th of November at the Merri Creek Tavern in Westgarth, and of course performing live with full band at Basement Discs on Friday November 23rd at 12:45pm, and signing copies afterwards.
