The band led by the late Kurt Cobain's wife, Courtney Love,
has mounted its first world tour and will next year appear in Perth as
part of the annual Big Day Out.
Hole has also announced a new bass guitarist to replace
Kristen Pfaff, who died last May of a herion overdose. She is Melissa Auf
Der Maur, 22-year-old, formerly of Montreal-based band Tinker.
Hole will next week release its new single, Doll Parts.
