Ten Thousand New Zealand Tour 2013

Ten Thousand Events & Rkcndy Present: Ten Thousand NZ Tour 2013

Fresh from playing at Sydney's Stone Music Festival with the likes of Van Halen, Aerosmith, Billy Joel, Buckcherry and many more as well as recent supports with I Am Giant (NZ/UK) and London Cries formerly Juke Kartel (US/ AUS), Australian Band Ten Thousand are taking their high energy live show across the Tasman on their 1st New Zealand Tour!

Armed with a string of new singles produced by Lindsay Gravina (Shihad, The Living End, Spiderbait), the band has further developed its sound, straddling new territory and fusing together razor sharp rock n roll riffs, echoing spaced out melodies, a thunderous fuzzed out rhythm section and soaring melodic vocals. With influences as varied as Motley Crue, Muse & 30 Seconds To Mars, Ten Thousand destroy the barriers between progressive and classic rock n roll.

'Hard Rock is tricky.... But the devil is in the details, and you cant fake the perfect balance of attitude, melody, precision and energy of Ten Thousand' - Peter Hodgson, Beat Magazine

Joining Ten Thousand on their New Zealand Tour are Phantom Empire from Christchurch.Their self-produced debut album, has industry veterans stumped at its high production values; describing it as 'Epic' and 'Bench Mark'. Phantom Empire's uniquely dynamic soundscape and animated live show, claims the attention of first time audiences leaving them intrigued and asking for more.

Phantom Empire recently released 'If the World Burns' meticulously recorded throughout 2012, in a variety of locations including an abandoned vintage N.Z. school hall, and includes choir recordings captured in the heart of Christchurch. The album was produced alongside York Street Studios, Auckland, and Christchurch's premier facility Quicksand Studios. https://www.facebook.com/phantomempire
