Looking forward
to their first New Zealand tour aside from a short Big Day Out one-off show in
2004 - are Darkness brothers Justin and Dan Hawkins, Frankie Poullain (bass) and new drummer Rufus
Taylor (son of Queen drummer Roger Taylor).
The band rose to stardom with the release of their debut album, Permission To Land which was certified quadruple platinum in the UK. Since 2003, they released
three more albums (One
Way Ticket To Hell... And Back, Hot Cakes and the most recent
album, Last of Our
Kind).
As
a very special addition to the line-up, New Zealand’s own Push Push reform
for their first shows after a 24 year-long break. The Kiwi legends –
fronted by Mikey
Havoc – will blast through the hits as well as unveil new
material from their forthcoming EP, due out in the New Year. Push Push
is Mikey Havoc (Vocals), Silver (Rhythm Guitar), Andy
Kane (Lead Guitar), Steve
Abplanalp (Bass) and Scott
Cortese (Drums).
The explosive five piece released their debut album in 1992, A Trillion Shades of Happy, which
featured their #1 hit single Trippin’,
and pushed the group further up into New Zealand's singles chart with more hits
such as What My Baby Likes and Song 27.
Lead guitarist, Andy
Kane says of the reunion: “Pretty apt that we’re emerging from
the darkness of the last 24 years to gig with The Darkness. We’re all
frikkin pumped and totally amped to get back on stage together."
