Bar Mckinnon’s Umlaut will be supporting Les Claypool on his national tour of Australia in December for the following dates:

• Wed 2 Dec Enmore Theatre Sydney
• Fri 4 Dec Forum Theatre Melbourne

“Bar McKinnon of Umlaut is thrilled to be supporting Les Claypool on the Sydney and Melbourne tour dates. Having toured in the ’90′s, Primus and Mr Bungle go way back,  it’s like old times!”

This will mark the first occasion that Umlaut have ventured North to Sydney, which is very pleasing for at least one fan who happens to reside in Sydney and has been begging for a Sydney show…………
