The D4 return to the Yotty !!!!
October 28 2022 marks the 21st anniversary of The D4’s critically acclaimed debut album, ‘6TWENTY’. To celebrate The D4 are not only rereleasing the album, but are hitting the road on a nationwide tour in March 2023.
This is a rare opportunity to see the band LIVE. A full force, sonic assault!!!
Adding fuel to the fire, The D4 will be joined at Raglan's finest venue by the absolute FORCE OF NATURE that is Tokyo's wildest export GUITAR WOLF!!! It would not be an exaggeration to say with no GUITAR WOLF, there would be no THE D4, and for both bands to grace the same stage one more time is unexpected, undeniable, and quite likely your last ever opportunity to experience a line up quite like this.
Rounding out what is potentially the most extreme rock n roll show ever to bear down on the Waikato is the phenomenal CINDY, widely considered to be one the finest live experiences currently accessible to humankind.
The only question remaining...will the YOT CLUB REMAIN STANDING?!?!!
Between 1998-2006, The D4 took on the world and their run sheet is impressive. They toured relentlessly playing clubs and festivals in the US, UK, Japan, Europe, Australia and New Zealand - these included, SXSW, Glastonbury, Reading, Leeds, Fuji Rock, Pukkelpop and The Big Day Out. On the strength of their live shows and the reception of the debut album, The D4 were lauded by stalwarts of the scene past and present and invited to play and tour alongside legacy heroes and contemporary upstarts including: The New York Dolls, the Dictators, Bo Diddley, the Pretty Things, Iggy and the Stooges, Guitar Wolf, and the Hives.
“One of the greatest Kiwi live bands...” Graham Reid, Elsewhere.
John Peel invited the band to record a Peel Live session that aired on his legendary BBC Radio 1 show and they performed live on late night US TV shows, David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel, Craig Kilborn and Last Call with Carson Daly.
The D4 was assembled by vocalist/guitarists Dion Lunadon and Jimmy Christmas who put together a collection of songs and built a four-piece combo, featuring founding members English Jake and Rich Mixture. The band was later enhanced by members Vaughan Williams (bass) and Beaver Pooley (drums).
Rock'n'roll fans will be treated to their notorious and explosive live show across the country, which comes with a reputation for amplifiers catching on fire and sweat dripping from the ceiling. Expect the band to play the classics ‘Rock'n'Roll Motherfucker’, ‘Party’, ‘Come On!’, ‘Get Loose’ and ‘Ladies Man’ amongst a high octane set.
