The Feelers are about to return to Australian stages to deliver a blistering 90-minute set, powering through the hits and premiering tracks from their new album Hope Nature Forgives, due for release next month.
The band launch their six-date Eastern Seaboard tour in Brisbane with a set list full of hits and fan favourites including Pressure Man, Larger Than Life, Communicate, Astronaut, Venus, As Good As It Gets, The Fear and Fishing for Lisa, Supersystem, Weapons of War and Stand Up
To coincide with the tour, The Feelers are releasing a brand new single Didn’t Want To Fall In LovE which is the follow-up to Snakes (Can’t Fix Me). Both songs are taken from their forthcoming album.
A momentary altercation on a Christchurch primary school football field was the catalyst for a music partnership between James Reid and Hamish Gee that has spanned almost twenty years.
The Feelers have gone from busking on street corners to becoming one of New Zealand’s biggest bands.
As the only NZ artists to have released five Multi -Platinum albums, they are arguably one of the country’s most successful recording groups in the past 14 years.
The band have amassed over a quarter of a million in album sales, three #1 albums, seven #1 singles and have received more airplay than any band or artist in New Zealand since 1999.
James Reid is a man with an extraordinary ability to write compelling catchy songs.
Joining The Feelers on stage will be Gasoline Inc! The band stormed into 2012 with a dynamic new EP The Wanted One. With powerful melodies and driving guitar riffs, The Wanted One proves again the band’s ability to write and produce well-crafted insatiable rock songs with universal appeal. Gasoline Inc have well and truly cut their teeth playing the pubs and clubs circuit in Australia, which is an experience that has served them well in developing an incredibly energetic and entertaining live show that highlights their musical diversity and skilled musicianship.
