Kiwi powerhouses The D4 have announced locasl supports for the hit-and-run Australian leg of their reunion tour and with one member living ont he other side of the globe, it might be your last chance to catch them on this side of The Ditch.
There are just three dates in Australia with most of their shows not unexpectedly in their home country.
In Brisbane they'll be joined by Tape/Off and Gentle Ben and His Shimmering Hands (The Brightside, February 13). Mary's Underground is the Sydney venue with Hard-Ons and Finnocuns opening preceedings on February 14. For the February 15 gig at Melbourne's esteemed The Tote, Mach Pelican, Raging Hormones and The Stripp fill out the undercard.
It's been two decades since The D4 arrived on a then-rejuvenated global garage rock scene, with their albums "Out Of My Head" (2005) and "6Twenty" (2002) making a modest global mark. The tour coincides with the first vinyl release of "Out Of My Head" on February 7.
Guitarist Dion Lunadon has a solo career and is based in the US. He, Jimmy Christmas, Jake Harding and Beaver Pooley will no doubt pull out stalwarts like "Rock'n'Roll Motherfucker", "Sake Bomb'", "Party", "Come On!" and "'Ladies Man" and are also promising some unheard tunes.
Tickets for all Austrlaian and NZ shows are available here.
