Exciting news! Due to overwhelming demand, new solo shows have been added to the ’30 Year Thang’ tour along with a string of other performances planned for 2018!
After circling the country with his band, Diesel will be heading out in solo mode, allowing him to roam even further into the “nooks and crevices” of his back catalogue as he trawls through the Highways and back roads that have made him the journeyman of music he is today.
This year, marks 30 years since Mark Lizotte literally stepped off the bus after making the Nullarbor crossing from Perth with his band Johnny Diesel And the Injectors, a “hobby” band made up of remnants of an imploded previous band. Arriving with just $95 between them meant that 9 shows a week ensued for many months. By ’88, after playing everywhere and supporting everyone (including a fortuitous slot with Jimmy Barnes on his Freight Train Heart tour) they were poised to impact with their debut eponymously titled album.
Impact they did, winning ARIA’s for Best New Talent and Highest Selling Album. The very same album went on to become the highest selling Australian debut album of all time.
So, what better way to celebrate than with a night that ”Rewinds” through the ever-growing body of music spanning 15 albums, 35 singles and 6 ARIA awards.
So “get on the bus” and celebrate Diesel’s 30 Year Thang!
