SAN Cisco has done a lot of growing up in the public eye – and now they have outgrown their venues.

Following overwhelming demand for tickets, the popular local band have been forced to shift their two shows at Fremantle Arts Centre later this month from the Front Lawn to the larger capacity South Lawn area.

The support from fans follows their recently released second album, Gracetown, which takes its name from the laid-back coastal town in the South West and peaked at No. 2 on the ARIA Album charts within its first week of release.

The hometown shows – an over 18 gig on April 23 and an under 18 gig on April 24 - will mark the start of a national tour supporting the album, with the band having just added a third Melbourne show after the first sold out.

San Cisco is due to return from a whirlwind US, UK and European tour showcasing Gracetown soon.

The ARIA-nominated group, consisting of Jordi Davieson, Josh Biondillo, Nick Gardner and Scarlett Stevens, released their self-titled debut album in 2012, which was certified Gold.

Bass player Gardner was temporarily sidelined ahead of the US leg of the band’s tour earlier this year after accidentally shooting himself in the foot on a friend’s farm in the South West.

Tickets are available from www.oztix.com.au.
