DZ DEATHRAYS announce 'Teenage Kickstarts' tour + dates with Bronx & Groovin The Moo
For Shane Parsons and Simon Ridley, the two friends who make up the Brisbane based thrash party duo ‘DZ Deathrays’, the last 18 months have been nothing less than an absolute whirlwind. Having released their debut LP ‘Bloodstreams’ 11 months ago, the pair gained much deserved critical acclaim through music bibles such as NME and Pitchfork, tour the world constantly sharing stages with acts like The Killers, Foo Fighters, Crystal Castles etc, play festivals such as Reading & Leeds, The Great Escape, Splendour in the Grass, Laneway Festival etc and finally pick up the ARIA and AIR awards for best Australian heavy release of 2012.
It’s fair to say that given all of the above, the two friends have deserved some downtime, instead we’re pleased to announce that DZ Deathrays will be hitting the highways of Australia for the final headline tour of the ‘Bloodstreams’ album cycle this April, a tour named ‘Teenage Kickstarts’ after the title of the final single to be taken from the band’s debut album. The tour will see DZ Deathrays playing intimate club shows (which will no doubt be an incredibly sweaty and raucous) with their full lighting show in Adelaide, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. These shows will be fans last opportunity to see DZ Deathrays play headline shows for quite sometime as the pair will be leaving for the UK in May once more where they will begin working on the follow up to Bloodstreams.
If this wasn’t enough good news, fans will also be happy to note that DZ Deathrays will be joining The Bronx on their upcoming tour of Australia and also dropping party DJ sets nationally at Groovin The Moo festival.
Brutal times.
