REGIONAL ALBUM LAUNCH – “SYMPHONY OF SYMMETRY”
The final promotional date for Ryan Webb’s debut album “Symphony Of Symmetry” was realized tonight, as Ryan Webb & The Method performed a Regional Album Launch in Ryan’s hometown of Narrogin, in Western Australia’s Great Southern region.

This event concludes all engagements with relation to the debut album – with the band looking to the future as a period of creativity.

PERTH CITY TO SURF – RYAN WEBB & THE METHOD’S LARGEST EVER LIVE AUDIENCE
Today, Ryan Webb & The Method played to their largest ever crowd (somewhere in the vicinity of 20,000 to 25,000 people) as part of Perth’s annual CITY TO SURF event – which this year attracted over 40,000 competitors and followers. The boys ripped through a rockin’ set that was well received by the massive crowd upon the expanse of City Beach Oval. Playing to a sea of faces of that magnitude is definitely a first for the band, and certainly a highlight to this point in 2009, in what has been an eventful year thus far.
