Diva Demolition Home Dirt Tour 2015

DIVA DEMOLITION’S ZOMBIE ROCKING HOME DIRT TOUR WILL PROVE THAT ROCK N ROLL IS UNDEAD

Having realised their dream of completing a five-month European tour and recording their second album in Vâsteras, Sweden, fully-charged Australian rock chicks Kylie Cowling and Sherree Newton – DIVA DEMOLITION – are coming home for a national headlining HOME DIRT TOUR 2015.

“Our Home Dirt Tour is a celebration of getting home alive!” jokes singer/bass player, Kylie. “We’re very much looking forward to a bit of lighthearted fun and rocking out. We also have 11 new songs to put the finishing touches on. It’s a diverse collection of tracks that transcend our genre of rock, and the songs reveal and reflect our experiences in Europe – the good, the bad and the ugly. We’ve been both blessed and scarred by our experiences overseas, and our new songs reflect the vulnerability and uncertainty of what lies ahead.”

“In Europe, we were aptly described as a classic style blues rock band, and we were received with open arms in places like Sweden, Belgium, Amsterdam and Serbia,” says Kylie. “These places, especially Sweden, are at the frontier of new rock music in Europe, and is it any wonder, considering the biggest and most consistent band in the world today is a rock band, still killing it after 40 years. AC/DC’s music is loved by all generations, and people constantly compared our live Aussie rock styling to AC/DC. We could have toured Europe for years on their coat tails, but thankfully it’s now time for us to come home.”

With Halloween in sight as they tour the country, no doubt the Divas will be collecting a few rock zombies along the way while making the most of their absence from Australian shores. The light-hearted, fun track ‘Rock the Zombie’ is a fitting metaphor for Diva Demolition’s journey so far. The song and videoclip (featuring footage from Brisbane’s Zombie Walk) were the last things the Divas completed before they departed for Europe.

DIVA DEMOLITION’s experience and rock prowess has previously earned them a spot on many a large stage, playing with the world’s greatest rock acts. Their strength of their debut album ‘Like It Too Much’ (Spitfire Music) won them a national tour with Kiss, Mötley Crüe and Thin Lizzy, and the Aerosmith in Melbourne and Dunedin. What stands out foremost in their live show is the easy-going, fun attitude, followed-up with strong riffs and a solid rock feel. Kylie and Sherree are also favourite choices of the Australian Defence Forces, having been invited on four separate occasions to entertain the troops in Timor Leste, Afghanistan, Dubai, Sinai and the Solomon Islands.

“ … virtuosity and explosive energy … the entire performance was with unabated intensity from beginning to end … it wasn’t difficult to surrender to the charms of Diva Demolition – two charismatic Australian Divas giving us a unique experience of hard rock.” — 49th Guitar Festival, Gitarijada, Serbia

“ … [Diva Demolition] are unapologetically retro rock – not riot grrl rock, but in-your-face, spandex-and-big-guitars rock.” — Michael Smith, themusic.com

“Like an Australian version of the Runaways meets Suzi Quatro meets Josie and the Pussycats, Diva Demolition is on a two-woman mission to bring the fun back to good old-fashioned Rock and Roll.” — Leslii Phillips, The Rockpit
