Music News - Alter Bridge Are Returning To New Zealand In 2017
01 November 2016 - 0 Comments
Orlando,
Florida-based rock legends Alter
Bridge are today announcing that they will return to New
Zealand and Australian shores in April 2017, presented by MJR Presents. Early
October 2016 saw Alter
Bridge release their latest studio album The Last Hero –
featuring new single Show Me A Leader.
With an obviously loyal and ravenous fanbase down under, Alter Bridge are
coming to New Zealand to celebrate the success.
Alter Bridge's album Fortress was
released in 2013 and it was clear their fans were eagerly waiting for them to
return. Now the rock juggernaut comprised of Myles Kennedy on vocals/guitars, Mark Tremonti on
guitars/vocals, Brian
Marshall on bass and Scott
Phillips on drums are returning to New Zealand and Australia on
the back of their fifth album, The Last Hero. The new release is a monster that builds upon the sound that Alter Bridge has
become known for with their uncompromised vocal melodies, untouchable duelling
guitar work and pounding rhythm section.
Founded in 2004, the quartet immediately went gold in the US with their debut
album One Day Remains –
and that was just the beginning. Each and every subsequent critically acclaimed
release would hit the top album charts in Alter Bridge's home country, find
partnerships with the likes of WWE, MLB and ESPN, and concerts around the globe
created a legion of supporters known as the AB Nation! Europe also pledged
their allegiance. Alter
Bridge's 2013 effort Fortress gave the band their highest chart entries in Germany, the UK,
Austria and Switzerland.
The Last Hero creates
musical imagery to showcase a common theme that runs throughout the record:
paying tribute to, and touching on the need for heroes and leaders in a complex
world. "Show me a
leader that won`t compromise – show me a leader so hope never dies.“
Produced by Michael “Elvis” Baskette (Slash, Trivium, Tremonti etc) and
mastered by Grammy award winner Ted Jensen, The Last Hero is the diversified and
resolute rock album we have all been waiting for: welcome back, Alter Bridge!
Ultimately, Alter Bridge heroically deliver for fans worldwide and rock music at large. “It’s good to be
back in the Alter Bridge battle,” Myles leaves off. “Every time we tour, I’m reminded of how great it is
to have this passionate and loyal audience. We don’t take it lightly. We
consider it an honour that people let us into their lives that way – and we
can’t wait to see our loyal fans down under in April.”
