News: Sick Puppies confirmed to support Nickelback
Multi-platinum selling and multi-award winning Canadian band NICKELBACK tour Australia in November and will play 8 Arena shows in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.
Australian band the Sick Puppies have just been announced as special guests on the tour.
When the Sick Puppies decided to break through in the U.S., founding members, vocalist/guitarist/songwriter Shimon Moore and his high school classmate, bassist Emma Anzai, simply picked up and moved lock, stock and guitar amps to L.A., advertised for a drummer on Craig’s List, and were soon joined by Orange County native Mark Goodwin. After getting signed and putting out their debut, the trio made their own video independently to accompanying the first single, “All the Same,” shot in a Sydney shopping mall in which fellow Aussie Juan Mann held up a hand-written placard offering passersby “Free Hugs.” The clip attracted over 43 million views on YouTube alone, and spawned a world-wide phenomenon.
Three years later, Sick Puppies are back with a new album Tri-Polar which was produced by Rock Mafia’s Antonina Armato and Tim James.
Watch out for the Sick Puppies joining NICKELBACK at Arenas around Australia this NOVEMBER!

I think the first time I did the Big Day Out we were sharing the stage with the Black Eyed Peas before they got massive we had a great time hanging out and the audiences were fantastic
