the first time and quite frankly kicking myself that I had not heard the group's
music before and wondering how I had missed it.
Suffice to say it grabbed my ears immediately, which is not surprising with the
stellar line-up it enjoys (and of course the vocals of
New Zealander singer/songwriter JON STEVENS who's music I have long enjoyed
over the years from his time in Noiseworks and INXS to his solo work.
( I have arranged to speak with Jon next week which I am really looking forward to )

The Dead Daisies idea was formed when singer-songwriter Jon Stevens
got together with guitarist David Lowy. A couple of guitars and
six hours later they had written twelve songs
and The Dead Daisies were born,

The powerful musical collective is created by a rotating line-up that features
some of the best Rock musicians on the planet with a sound that’s influenced by late ‘70s and early ‘80s hard rock : –big choruses, powerful melodies and strong hooks.
To help capture their sound best, they turned to American engineer/producer
and multi-instrumentalist John Fields. The Dead Daisies debut album was recorded at Wishbone Studios in Los Angeles. ' 
In early 2013 The Dead Daisies were invited to open for ZZ Top in Australia.
Word about their dynamic live show spread quickly and the band soon joined legendary Aerosmith on their first Australasian tour in 23 years. The Dead Daisies were also part of the massive 25-date Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival through the US and Canada along side Alice In Chains, & Jane’s Addiction amongst others.

Jon Stevens, David Lowy, Richard Fortus (Guns N’ Roses/Thin Lizzy) on guitar, Frank Ferrer (Guns N’ Roses/Psychedelic Furs) on drums, Marco Mendoza (Thin Lizzy/Whitesnake/BlackStarRiders) on bass Dizzy Reed (Guns N’ Roses) on keyboards 
The Dead Daisies headed to the UK* where they played an 18 date tour as
Special Guests of Black Star Riders. To kick it off, the bands first headline UK show at the prestigious Underworld rock club in Camden was SOLD OUT. The band released their self-titled debut album “The Dead Daisies’ on November 11th in the UK after having released the first single* “Lock ‘N’ Load” featuring Slash the month earlier.
