As the sun finally starts making its presence felt, so too does the looming Mistletone Records spate of mini-festivals. The likes of which sport Dan Deacon, Pivot, Qua, and High Places in tow.

The record label has made a habit of celebrating the seasons in Melbourne, with Spring Tones still ringing in the ears and Winter Tones now a fading (but recorded for posterity) memory. In 09 the label showcase is going national with Summer Tones, sending it up to Brisbane and Sydney, across to Adelaide for a mini-fest and back home in Melbourne for a massive shin dig at the Esplanade Hotel.

Headlined by child-predator wearing US party-starter Dan Deacon, the bill also include Brooklyn pop duo High Places, New Zealand man-prince Lawrence of Arabia and a swathe of local acts.
