With this tour Nepathya is set to re awake after a yearlong hibernation. The last show they performed was in New Delhi at the Rock the Boat Concert on 7th December 2007.
"We were involved with intensive tours in the country and wanted a break from stage performances. It has been a well deserved break for me, as this gave me time to walk through many treks in the country and also finish up recording our 8th album." says Amrit Gurung.
This Australia Tour will come with some new songs and also new musicians. Niraj Gurung will perform his debut performance as Nepathya's guitarist replacing Hari Maharjan. With this change, Niraj is now the 21st musician to join the Nepathya Journey.
" In addition to the regular Nepathya number, the show in Australia will feature some new unreleased numbers, from it's forthcoming 8th Album – due to be released sometime in 2009." discloses Kiran Shrestha of Nepathya's management company nepa~laya, who is accompanying the group to Australia.
"I always had a dream to see Nepathya perform in Australia. Now that this is finally happening, I simply feel great and excited. I do hope this event will aid in bringing all Nepalese living in Australia together to share this joyous moment." says Prem Kaji Gurung, president of Tamu Samaj – Sydney.
Tamu Samaj Sydney is the Australia _base_d sponsor for the tour which is to coincide with the Tamu Lochar celebration.
After completing the scheduled 3 city tour, Nepathya is scheduled to depart Melbourne on the 20th of January and arrive the same day here in Kathmandu.
Nepathya is known for its nation wide musical campaigns for peace, education and other social issues. Critics call them – The most earthy and socially responsible folk rock entity of the Nation.
