WHAT: Yacht Club DJ's Hooroo! National Tour
WHEN: December 19 & 20, doors 8.30pm
WHERE: Karova Lounge
TICKETS: $18+bf
YACHT Club DJ's will kick off a national fair well tour next month following the public announcement of their split.
Gareth (Gaz) Harrison and Guy Chappell have announced a three month national tour following a post to their Facebook page in July telling fans they're calling it a day.
"We've been talking about this for a while and we've decided that 2014 will be the last year of Yacht Club Dj's." it read.
"It's been an unbelievable ride, but we both feel like it's time to put our focus on to other endeavours."
The duo will play 14 shows across the nation with their last two shows set to be played at the place it all begun - Ballarat's Karova Lounge.
Harrison told The Courier after more than half a decade in the music industry they felt it was time to move forward with their own lives.
"We both have other stuff we want to do, people get this idea we don't work, but it's intense both mentally and work wise," he said.
"We don't have a connection anymore."
Returning to Karova Lounge for the last time, the pair said there will be plenty of memories of their gigs over the years at the stomping ground they won't forget.
"If you look up at the roof, there is beer from our first shows there," Chappell said.
Patrons can still see their names inscribed on the wall near the stage and glitter from the time Chappell covered Harrison in a bucket full still sits in the cracks.
But it's not just locals who have jumped on the chance to buy tickets to their national tour.
"We sold out at The Corner in a day which we've never done before and is pretty cool," Chappell said.
While they have no idea just yet what to expect from their final show ever, they could tell us that it was going to be the best of all their tours.
"Hopefully Karova doesn't burn down," Harrison said.
"It's going to be a fun night out with our friends."
Tickets are selling out fast for their final shows at Karova Lounge on December 19 & 20.
