GOLD COAST SHOW ADDED November 22 2007
AND DIVINYLS TO ROCK AUSTRALIAN IDOL GRAND FINAL SHOW AT SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE ON SUNDAY
Feedback to the imminent and much-anticipated return of one of Australia's seminal rock bands Divinyls has been fantastic, to say the least.
25,000 tickets to Sydney's Homebake festival which the band are headlining, plus tickets to their own Sydney and Melbourne shows sold out pronto, with new shows added.
Now in news fans have been waiting for, a new concert is announced today at the Gold Coast Convention Centre on Friday January 4. It is Divinyls only concert in Queensland. Special guests on the tour are The Church, with a third band to be announced soon - making this a fantastic triple bill.
The Chrissy Amphlett and Mark McEntee-led band are also confirmed and set to rock the Grand Final show of Australian Idol on Sunday (November 25). In what will be their first commercial television performance in more than a decade, the band will play on the forecourt of the Sydney Opera House to a 6000+ crowd and a huge national TV audience. Divinyls will deliver a highly charged reminder of why they are acclaimed as one of THE greatest Australian rock bands.
After performing last in 1997, Divinyls were popular inductees into the 2006 ARIA Hall Of Fame and put in a red-hot reunion performance. With old energies rekindled, this much-loved iconic Australian band are now back in the saddle and ready to do it all again.
There's a sensational new single 'Don't Wanna Do This' (Universal) recorded in Las Vegas in September and produced by Pat Thrall and Charley Drayton. The single is available digitally on November 24. And watch out for the wicked animated video which is now spinning around.
'Don't Wanna Do This' has all the earmarks of classic Divinyls rock with the unmistakable Amphlett vocals to the fore - it makes you realize how much we've missed them! As a special bonus, a copy of the 'Don't Wanna Do This' single will be included with EVERY concert ticket. Fans will collect the single on the night of the gigs.
'Don't Wanna Do This' is the forerunner to a new album due in early 2008.
Divinyls - Chrissy, Mark, Charley Drayton (drums), Charlie Owen (guitar), Jerome Smith (bass) and new member Clayton Doley (keyboards) - started rehearsals this week and can't wait to get back on stage. The set will include all their classic songs like 'Pleasure And Pain', 'Science Fiction', 'Boys In Town', 'I Ain't Gonna Eat My Heart Out Anymore', 'I Touch Myself' and some newies.
Divinyls' extraordinary career pushed all the boundaries. Their raw, rock'n'roll spirit embodied their music, and their blistering, mesmerising live shows fueled by Amphlett's sexually charged performances took audiences to new heights.
Exciting, exhilarating, unpredictable, passionate - this iconic Australian band are ready to do it all again. Who'd wanna miss this!
