ROCK STAR SUPERNOVA To Tour Australia In March

October 9, 2006

ROCK STAR SUPERNOVA, the band featuring Tommy Lee (MÖTLEY CRÜE),Jason Newsted (VOIVOD, ex-METALLICA) and Gilby Clarke (ex-GUNS N' ROSES) and vocalist Lukas Rossi, will play dates in Australia and New Zealand in March 2007.

The new quartet, which is currently in the studio finishing off its highly anticipated debut album with producer Butch Walker (AVRIL LAVIGNE, PINK, BOWLING FOR SOUP) will play shows in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and New Zealand. Support will come from Toby Rand (a "Rock Star: Supernova" contestant) and his band JUKE KARTEL.

"Rock Star: Supernova" amassed huge ratings during its 11 weeks for Australian broadcaster Fox 8, becoming the highest rating general entertainment series ever on subscription television. The two-hour finale reached almost 600,000 viewers according to official OzTAM results.

Lukas Rossi, who joins the group after an exhaustive search spanning 25,000 entrants, 22 cities and six continents, describes his win as "the gig of a lifetime."

"That I'll be singing in a band with Tommy, Gilby and Jason — guys that I've always respected — is just surreal. Can't wait to get started."

"Lukas is the real deal," says Tommy Lee, who himself can't wait to get back to Australia where he has been a regular visitor in recent years. "Lukas proved that he's got the voice and swagger to front this band. He's gonna tear it up in the studio and then we're taking the show on the road. Wear a cup, kids."

ROCK STAR SUPERNOVA shot a video for the song "It's All Love" this past Wednesday (October 4) in Los Angeles.

ROCK STAR SUPERNOVA will release its debut album on November 21 via Epic Records. The band will launch a 28-city North American tour with THE PANIC CHANNEL (which features the show's co-host Dave Navarro) in Las Vegas on New Year's Eve.

ROCK STAR SUPERNOVA Australian tour dates:

Mar. 15 - Melbourne - Vodafone Arena
Mar. 16 - Sydney - Hordern Pavilion
Mar. 17 - Brisbane - River Stage
