Influenced
by 70’s and early 80’s rock, The Dead Daisies sound is soulful and
accessible – equal parts of Aerosmith, Bad Company and Foreigner:
muscular vocals, bluesy riffs, big choruses, powerful melodies and
strong hooks. With stellar musicianship and pulverizing live shows, fans
worldwide are discovering the band that is bringing back Rock &
Roll!
The current incarnation of
The Dead Daisies is taken from a musical collective created originally
by a rotating line – up that has left their mark on the high – class
brand of Rock & Roll the band is known for. The band features in
their ranks some of the finest Rockers on the planet, among them one of
the premier lead guitarists of this day and age, Doug Aldrich
(Whitesnake, Dio). He completes a powerhouse lineup consisting of
charismatic singer John Corabi (Mötley Crüe, The Scream), bassist
extraordinaire Marco Mendoza (Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake), the drumming
powerhouse of Brian Tichy (Ozzy Osbourne, Foreigner) and bringing the
thunder from down under, Australian rhythm guitarist David Lowy (Red
Phoenix, Mink).
Past names have included Rich
ard Fortus (Guns N’ Roses/The Psychedelic Furs), Dizzy Reed (Guns N’
Roses/Hookers and Blow), Darryl Jones (The Rolling Stones, Sting),
Bernard Fowler (The Rolling Stones), Charley Drayton (The X-pensive
Winos/The Cult), Jon Stevens (Noiseworks/INXS), Tommy Clufetos (Black
Sabbath/Rob Zombie) and many more.
Since exploding onto the
scene in 2012, The Dead Daisies have taken the music world by storm,
releasing three albums to date and touring with the biggest names in
Rock including: ZZ Top, Aerosmith, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bad Company, Judas
Priest, KISS, Whitesnake, Def Leppard and the Hollywood Vampires.
In an era when Rock music has been
proclaimed dead time and time again, the Daisies defy the critics with
ease. This is more than evident on their last studio album, 2016’s ‘Make
Some Noise’ with twelve songs packed full of exciting Rock & Roll
hooks and riffs.
It’s loud, energetic &
uplifting – and most importantly: it’s real. The songs were written and
recorded with mega-producer Marti Frederiksen (Aerosmith, Def Leppard,
Mötley Crüe), receiving huge praise from the music press, and smashing
straight into 23 charts globally.
The ‘Make Some Noise’ World
Tour 2016 kicked off in Germany with The Hollywood Vampires then onto
some of the biggest festivals in Europe among them the colossal Wacken
Open Air in Germany and Woodstock Poland where they played to over
250.000 people. Sold-out Summer Club Shows, a US trek with KISS on their
“Freedom to Rock Tour”, US headline gigs in LA at the Whisky-A-Go-Go
and Webster Hall in New York City followed. The band then headed to the
Far East for the first time, where they wowed the crowds at Loud Park
Festival in Japan which led right into their first USO Tour, playing
shows for the US Military in South Korea. It was then onto KISS Kruize
VI followed by a hugely successful Sold-Out tour of Europe finishing
2016 on a high.
The real Rock & Roll
magic happens on-stage, with the band and audience feeding off each
other’s energy, which is where The Dead Daisies really excel. Capturing
that adrenalin soaked power and committing it to tape was a great way to
showcase the bands live potency. A live album entitled ‘Live &
Louder’ is the result that captures The Dead Daisies in all their loud,
raucous and powerful glory, which was released worldwide on May 19th.
There is a whole planet to
conquer and the band is currently on a world tour that see’s them play
to an ever- increasing audience including the continent of South America
with shows in Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Mexico City, another first
for The Dead Daisies. The band has played some of the biggest festivals
in Europe including Download, Hellfest, Graspop, Sweden Rock and Rock
Hard Festival. Along with headline shows that have sold out, the band
once again have made a massive impression in Europe. Enthusiastic
Japanese fans have clamoured for The Dead Daisies to return to the Land
of the Rising Sun, and now, the band are finally on their way for two
headline performances in July in Tokyo and Osaka. Their first US-
headline run, aptly titled ‘The Dirty Dozen’ kicks off in August, and
will see the band partner with sports organisations like the New York
Yankees. The band storm through 12 major cities across North America
including New York, Chicago, Toronto, Los Angeles finishing up in Las
Vegas on August 27th.
One thing is for sure, The Dead Daisies are going to be “Live & Louder“ in 2017!
Rock ‘n’ Roll is alive and well!!
