The Novocaines - Shows in Japan

11 January 2012 - 15 January 2012

The Australian rock band The Novocaines will perform live in Japan from 11 to 15 January 2012. The band was originally formed in the small farm town of Northam in Western Australia, close to Perth. A punch in the arm from Dave Grohl, a thumbs up from Josh Homme, and a quiet nod from Jon Paul Jones are just a few of the reasons why The Novocaines are fast becoming one of the hottest independent bands in the world.

Members include brothers Corey (vocals/harmonica) and Jay Marriott (guitar), Steven Turnock (bass) and Liam Young (drum). They are young, with an average age of 21, but have played abroad over last couple years, including at the South By South West music festival in Austin, Texas and Hollywood, California. They have opened for artists including Them Crooked Vultures, Spinnerette, and Shonen Knife. The band has also played at the Big Day Out, an annual rock festival in Australia.

Ampersonic Records released The Novocaines debut album “IDLE TIME” in November, 2011. The Novocaines embarked on a global touring plan with dates in Australia surrounding the release and are planning dates in North America and Asia for early to mid 2012.

The album, produced by Canadian Alan Brey, is packed with explosive rock tunes. With plenty of Triple J airplay for teaser track “Summer Waiting”, an international management deal in the USA and Europe and the major deal for “Cup Of Coffee” in the hit movie Scream 4.

“It is a mark of an excellent live band when you turn up to their show expecting nothing less than to be blown away and they delivered in spades.” - Perth Bands Review Southbound festival, 1 January 2011

“Bred singer and born frontman Corey Marriott gives it as good as the greats, prancing around like vintage Mick Jagger with the same ability to hold an emotionally filthy note.” - Time Off Magazine, supporting Jebediah The Zoo, Brisbane, 8 December, 2010
