Music News - Iconic UK band CAST to tour New Zealand for the first time
22 April 2016 - 0 Comments
Troubadour Music is thrilled to announce that Cast, one of the UK’s most revered bands of the Brit-pop era, will tour Australia and New Zealand in May. Local fans are in for a very rare treat - the band has been described as ‘The Who of the 90’s’, and Noel Gallagher once described watching Cast play live as “a religious experience.”
Originally formed in 1992 from the ashes of two of the most legendary and lauded guitar bands of all time, The La’s and Shack, Cast released four albums. The second, Mother Nature Calls went platinum, three reached top 10, and they enjoyed ten top 10 singles before disbanding in 2001. The group’s first album All Change became the biggest selling debut album of all time for Polydor Records. After the band’s split, John Power released three solo albums, and has played intermittently since 2005 with the reformed La’s.
More than a decade later, and the original line-up of John Power (guitar/ vocals), Liam ‘Skin’ Tyson (lead guitar), Pete Wilkinson (bass) and Keith O’Neill (drums) have reunited to play select international tour dates, ready to shower fans with their much-loved hits – gems such as Alright, Walkaway, All Change, Like It Is and Promised Land.
They’re also set to release a brand new album later in the year, a long-player that is destined to be full of the anthemic, melodic and beautifully written songs for which they have always been loved.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see Cast live – the band’s Australian tour dates will kick off on May 14 in Adelaide, finishing in Sydney at The Factory on May 21.
