Baseball are from Melbourne, Australia, and returned in July 2005 from a 3 week tour of Taiwan and Japan.
Baseball were the only self-managed and independent band to play at the Hohaiyan Rock Festival in Taipei 2005, where they shared the stage with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (US), Vincent Gallo (US), Auf Der Maur (Canada) and Boom Boom Satellites (Japan). Since then Baseball have played with Saul Williams (US), Sleater-Kinney (US), NiHao! (Japan), Les Savy Fav (US), Birushanah (Jap), Ryokuchi (Jap), and Sabot (Czech Rep)
Prior to the formation with the current line-up, Baseball have toured Europe and Far East Asia, and have plans to tour Europe again at the end of 2006.
Baseball’s only recording to date with the current line-up is a set of 5 songs which were recorded as demos. On finding out about their invitation to play at the Hohaiyan Rock Festival, these recordings became the Baseball “Taiwan – Japan Tour EP”. A new album will be recorded in mid-2006.
