Neon Trees – Australian Shows

The Frontier Touring Company has announced that Utah rockers Neon Trees will be tearing up Melbourne and Sydney with a special one off performance in each city this May!

The band is set to perform their infectious brand of pop rock at Ding Dong Lounge in Melbourne and The Standard in Sydney for their first Australian shows since 2011.

Well known for juxtaposing dazzling guitar hooks with thoughtful and reflective lyrics the last 12 months have seen the band climb to the top of the charts with second studio album Picture Show (out now through Universal).

The album was produced by Justin Meldal-Johnson who has worked with everyone from Beck to M83 and the album itself manages to nuance the restless surges of new wave, yet never takes itself too seriously.

Neon Trees first captured the public’s attention with 2010’s Habits, bursting with charisma and clever story telling it’s break through single ‘Animal’ scored a #1 on the U.S. Alternative Songs Chart eventually winning ‘Top Alternative Song’ at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards. In Australia the single was certified platinum and was the most played song on Australian radio in 2011. ‘Animal’ has also since been covered by a host of artists from Taylor Swift to Panic! At The Disco.

Neon Trees have also lit up screens as well with a huge number of television performances including Jimmy Kimmel, Jay Leno, Conan, David Letterman, Ellen and America’s Got Talent.

Be ready; with an artillery of radio stompers and the stage presence to back it up the band is unquestionably set to burn brightly when they hit the stage this May.
