For the first time in 25 years, seminal Sydney underground rock´n´roll band Asteroid B612 will light up Australian skies with a select run of shows in November. The gigs will the band’s first chance to present their new album “Roads, Stars”, out now on vinyl LP and CD and via all streaming platforms.
Asteroid B612 came hurtling out of Sydney´s Northern Beaches in the early 90´s and was a guitar-powered force of nature, recording five albums and playing endless tours throughout Australia and once across the USA.
The core of the band - schoolyard buddies Johnny Spittles aka Johnny Casino, singer Grant McIver and bassist Benny Fox - were brought up on a musical diet of heartfelt, soulful, blazing rock´n´roll.
Dissembling in 2002, they reunited for eight concerts in 10 days through Johnny Casino's adopted home of Spain with an Australo-Spanish lineup. This is where the idea of recording new music was hatched.
It’s a slightly re-tooled version of the band with the passing of bassist Scotty Nash. Tickets go on sale from venue outlets at 0900 (AEST) today.
