UK Dates – November / December 2013
Special Guests of Black Star Riders &
Debut UK Headline Show
The Dead Daisies are set
to release their self-titled debut album ‘The Dead Daisies’ on the 11th
November 2013 and will be touring the UK supporting it through November &
December 2013.
Off the back of a killer
summer tour through the US & Canada (which saw The Dead Daisies form part
of the massive 25-date Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival tour, alongside
Alice In Chains and Jane’s Addiction among others), The Dead Daisies will be
hitting the UK as the Special Guests of Black Star Riders. The band will also
play their first ever UK headline show on the 20th November at
Underworld in Camden. Earlier in the year The Dead Daisies were invited to open
for ZZ Top in Australia and, after word of their dynamic live show spread, the
band soon joined legendary American rockers Aerosmith on their first
Australasian tour in 23 years.
Formed around the nucleus
of Australians Jon Stevens (Noiseworks/INXS) and David Lowy (Red Phoenix/Mink),
the powerful musical collective is completed by a line-up that speaks volumes.
They include, Charley Drayton (The X-pensive Winos/The Cult), Richard Fortus
(Guns ‘N’ Roses/Thin Lizzy), Darryl Jones (The Rolling Stones) and Dizzy Reed
(Guns ‘N’ Roses).
The 12-track self-titled
debut album features their first single “Lock ‘N’ Load” feat. Slash. The song
was co-written with Slash and showcases the inimitable guitar tone of the
legendary guitarist. The single is storming the UK radio airwaves and has been
placed on a number of key playlists including Planet Rock and Kerrang Radio. In
the US, Rolling Stone magazine have already highlighted the track on their
Daily Downloads list and it has received high praise on US rock radio – being
featured on Alice Cooper’s and Nikki Sixx’s extremely popular nationally
syndicated radio programs.
The album picks up where
the single leaves off. From the opener and forthcoming second single “It’s
Gonna Take Time,” to the uplifting “Writing On the Wall”, the dirty groove of
“Tomorrow”, and the soulful ballad “Yesterday”, ‘The Dead Daisies’ is a rock
album infused with big choruses, strong hooks, powerful melodies and groove
with a sound influenced by classic late ‘70s rock, early ‘80s hard rock in a
soulful ‘Bad Company’ meets ‘Foreigner’ via ‘The Faces’ kind of vibe.
The album was recorded
with LA-based engineer, producer and multi-instrumentalist John Fields who,
together with Jon Stevens, also wrote and produced the feature track ‘Fly’ for
the latest Disney hit movie ‘Planes’ (which recently topped box offices around
the world).
