Revered ARIA Award-winning Brisbane band george, featuring iconic singer-songwriters Katie Noonan and Tyrone Noonan, and bandmates Paulie B, Geoff Green and Nick Stewart, is set to return to where it all began! The band has confirmed that in celebration of the record’s 20th anniversary, they will perform their double-platinum debut album Polyserena in its entirety, with four shows at Brisbane Powerhouse from May 6 – May 8.

Polyserena debuted at #1 on the ARIA charts in 2002, launching george onto the national stage and earning them six ARIA nominations that year – ‘Album Of The Year’, ‘Best Group’, Best Cover Art’, ‘Producer of the Year’, ‘Best Pop Release’ and winning them the award for ‘Breakthrough Artist – Album’.

They became only the tenth Australian band in history to debut at number one upon release; Polyserena achieved gold status within ten days, platinum record status within three weeks and had reached double platinum by the end of 2002.

Polyserena also gifted the band an amazing 6 songs in Triple J’s annual Hottest 100 poll across three years with Bastard Son, Spawn, Run, Release, Breaking It Slowly and Special Ones; the latter also earned them an ARIA nomination for Breakthrough Artist, Single and an APRA nomination for Song of the Year in 2001.

The album has more recently been recognised as one of Triple J’s Hottest 100 Australian albums of all time and landed in Double j’s Top 50 Best Australian Debut Albums.
