The Dead Daisies have announced their first ever UK headline show at Camden's Underworld venue on Wednesday 20th November 2013. Support will come from Leogun and The Graveltones.
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 fun began in earnest when The Dead Daisies were invited to open for ZZ Top in Southport, Queensland and Sydney in March 2013, and started to heat up when they joined legendary American rockers, Aerosmith, on their first Australasian tour in 23 years. But things really caught fire with The Dead Daisies' invitation to be a part of the massive 25-date Rockstar Uproar Festival through the US and Canada in August/September, where they have joined Alice In Chains, Jane's Addiction and Coheed & Cambria among others.
Their forthcoming single Lock 'N' Load (released in the UK on the 28th October 2013) was co-written by, and features the inimitable guitar tone of the legendary Slash.
