‘Sharing Space’ has been nominated for Album of the year by Triple J. Other nominees in this category include Cut Copy, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and The Presets. For more info check out http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/jawards/.

If there is one award in Australia that we would want to be nominated for it is the J Award, it's an honor to be included alongside such awesome Australian bands."

What a night! triple j's annual ONE NIGHT STAND was a massive success, with a capacity crowd, great weather and four AMAZING bands.

Collie, a town (pop. 9000) two hours south-west of Perth, won the opportunity to host the event after garnering the support of the local council and petitioning local business and the local community.

triplejunearthed.com winners THIS END UP sure know how to kick off a show. The Collie band are still in school but you wouldn't know it after seeing their polished rock performance. These guys are ones to watch: www.triplejunearthed.com/thisendup.

There were plenty of near heart-attacks as the 15,000-strong crowd went crazy for FAKER. The band pulled out all their instant indie-rock classics and the crowd hung on to every word. PNAU turned it up and Collie got raving, along with a moonwalking wild strawberry, a dancing sun and a hundred giant balloons that were released into the crowd. The excitement continued with headliners COG, still on a high with news of the no. 2 debut of their latest release Sharing Spaces.

The drug and alcohol free event was incident free and the town kicked on to a special One Night Stand street party, hosted by the Collie council.

If you weren't lucky enough to witness the action, or hear it live on air right around the nation, you can see it in the coming weeks on triple j tv who caught the whole thing on film or hear it repeated on the following Live At The Wireless dates:

5 May - Faker
12 May - Pnau
19 May - Cog

Hello people,

Our new Sharing Space website is now online - just in time for the release of Sharing Space.

From what we're told so many of you have already gone online and pre-ordered the album - that's unreal, thank you. And we hope that the rest of you will hot foot it down to your favourite record store or get online with iTunes and Bigpond next week to be amongst the first to have the album.

There is a limited edition, recycled packaging version out there that is strictly limited - all the copies made have been ordered by stores, so if you see one, there's your chance to get a special edition as they are strictly limited. The regular version also comes in recycled packaging but isn't quite as elaborate as the limited edition.

In the meantime though, you might like to stop by our MySpace page www.myspace.com/cogrockmusic where we are previewing the album in its entirety for the rest of the week.

We'll celebrating the release this weekend with 2 all ages shows:

And next weekend we will be instore at Utopia on Broadway in Sydney signing copies of the album. See online for more details.

Lucius, Luke & Flynn.

Hello people

Sharing Space the album will be released on April 12 and to conicide with the album release we will be touring extensively. We have just announced the dates and line up of the album tour.

Here's what our PR people wrote in the press release for the tour:

With their much anticipated sophomore album, Sharing Space due for release on April 12, Triple J, JJJTVC, Aloha & The Atlas Agency are pleased to announce COG’s Sharing Space Tour for this coming May and June. Spanning some six weeks, the tour will feature two of New Zealand’s finest live rock bands, Kora and Jakob as well as local Melbourne prog-rockers Sleep Parade and Brisbane’s Melodyssey and will be COG’s biggest tour to date.

Described as an orchestra of guitar chords, beckoning drums and resonant bass tones, COG’s live shows are renowned for their implacably monstrous sound where the synchronicity between the three members is somewhat of a spectacle.

“To expect anything less than sheer brilliance, honesty and truthfulness to leave the speakers and enter your ears at a show is quite a high expectation to have, but in a balance that can only be described as eerie, Cog delivered well above any past performance and took their now influential sound to a whole new level.” Drum Media

COG’s army of fans is growing, and their upcoming album tour is none not to be missed.

With the first two singles from Sharing Space - What If and Bird of Feather, sitting on high rotation on Triple J and community stations around the country, and the success of their 2005 critically acclaimed debut album The New Normal, COG’s Sharing Space is set to be one of the most anticipated Australian releases of 2008.

COG’s Sharing Space Tour kicks of off on May 15 and tickets are on sale from Thursday March 6.

Their new album, Sharing Space is out on Saturday April 12 on Difrnt Music.

We have been announced as the headline act for this year's One Night Stand promoted by Triple J. This is the station's annual comp for a town of less than 20,000 people to win a huge free concert in their town.

Together with Faker & Pnau we will be playing this special show at the yet to be decided town on Saturday April 26.

For more information or to find out how you can win this show in your town go to the following website:
www.triplej.net.au/events/one_night_stand_08/

We have a new single that has just been taken to radio and added to Triple J. Its called BIRD OF FEATHER.
Our lovely PR people have written this press release about it:

Bird Of Feather is the second single off Cog’s forthcoming album Sharing Space, due in store April 12th 2008. A heart breaking song of being far away for a long period of time from the ones you love, torn between art and love, career and family and all the while trying to make a situation better and find a way to pay the bills.

“That’s the heart of the song there â€" that conundrum, that question that faces all of us. On one hand you need to pay the bills, on the other you need to nurture the relationships with people. Everyone is having to work harder, longer and smarter and in most cases both parents, just to get by. It’s a consequence of the global predicament that everyone
sees less of each other,” explains song writer and front man Flynn Gower.

Tales of cracked conversations over long distance lines and tearful telephone calls where words get lost in two second delays, Gowers anguish is palpable. But for all of Bird Of Feather’s raw pain and ragged emotion, when the chorus comes, it comes like a rock thrown through a stain glass window. Spilling light glorious. Such is the power of Cog’s music.

Recorded at RadioStar Studios in Weed, CA USA, produced by Cog, Sylvia Massy, Richard Veltrop and Jim Wood. Mixed by Richard Veltrop, Sylvia Massy, Maor Appelbaum, Cecil Gregory & Cog, Bird Of Feather will be available from March 15th as a digital download only from www.cog.com.au and iTunes and all good online stores.

Hello everybody

Just a quick update on some things happening in the Cog camp…

Due to the overwhelming demand on tickets in Sydney, we have announced a second and final show in Sydney to be held at The Metro on Wednesday November 21. What’s most exciting however is that we have just learned that both Metro shows (the other one being on Friday November 23) are now ALL AGES & LICENSED meaning everyone can come!

The last tickets for the Friday night show are selling now and Wednesday’s show is also on sale now. Check out www.cog.com.au to purchase tickets and to find out where else you can get them.

Still on the tour and we have found a new venue to play at in Rockhampton. We’ll be hitting the Tropic of Capricorn on Wednesday November 28 playing at the Great Western Hotel. Tickets are on sale now from the venue (07) 4922 3888.

WHAT IF on Triple J â€" great news people, the folk at Triple J have added the new single and its getting played now… it would be great to hear it spun more and for Cog to be heard far and wide, so show your support for the single by requesting it. Go to: http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/requests/ While you’re at it you can also vote for the new video for What If on JTV now: http://abc.net.au/jtv/saturday/

We’re coming home from the States this weekend so more news when we’re back in Oz.
Best,

Luke, Lucius & Flynn

As of today, Friday September 21, we have found ourselves a new home on My Space at www.myspace.com/cogrockmusic. But don't worry, we have moved all of our friends from our old page to the new address - the only thing that changes is our page address. So add it to your bookmarks.

In other news, unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control, the scheduled What If show in Rockhampton in November has been cancelled. We are trying to find an appropriate alternative venue so we can see everyeonel there at the Tropic of Capricorn but we have not got that sorted yet. We will let you know what is happening as soon as we can.

For one week only we are giving Cog fans the chance to purchase tickets to the What If tour this November and December at a reduced rate.

Tickets for all shows except the Newcastle Beach Party show at Newcastle Uni are available for this offer.

The special internet offer is available for one week only from 9am AEST Monday September 3 to 5pm AEST Friday September 7.

All shows are over 18s only and the internet pre sale tickets are available from our ticketing page.

Tickets for Melbourne Metro show and all other shows are available from the venues and outlets from 9am AEST September 10.

Hi all,

We are working on a new Cog site at the moment, but for now we'll have a temporary home page while the new site is under construction. So this is it! We hope to launch the new site in the coming months in time for the release of Sharing Space... so stay tuned!

Part of the temporary site is our new ticketing page where you can buy tickets to most of our shows and get access to exclusive pre sale ticket offers. Such as the offer we're launching on Monday September 3 for our new tour coming this November and December.

It’s the What If tour, proudly presented by our friends at My Space and it will coincide with the release of our brand new single What If from our forthcoming album Sharing Space. This tour will run for five weeks and we'll be playing up and down the east coast of Australia with a quick stop in Adelaide as well. But for people up north, this will be the first time Cog will be making it to the northern reaches of Queensland to play. So we can't wait to meet all of you from up those parts at the shows.

You can read about the tour in the press release below however take note â€" we’re offering you an exclusive deal to get tickets* for a reduced price for one week only from Monday September 3 at 9am until Friday September 7 at 5pm right here on our ticketing page. So check it out.

But back to us in Weed - we are now over half way through the new album Sharing Space and it's coming along nicely. The plan is to have it out by the end of Summer in early 2008, but the What If single will be available in November. We'll preview the track here in the coming weeks and then it will be up to you guys to bombard the radio stations if you want to hear it.

More news coming soon, in the meantime don't forget to check out about the What If tour and the internet pre sale next week - for one week only you will get discounted tickets available exclusively from www.cog.com.au (and www.theatlasagency.com).

All the best,

Lucius Luke Flynn and all in the Cog camp.

*PS - Internet pre sale offer does not include Newcastle show, sorry.
