After their sold-out debut gig last month at The Barfly, Australian/US rock trio Sick Puppies return to the UK for a full tour in the New Year.
This follows the release of their debut UK single ‘All The Same’ on December 20th. ‘All The Same’ has gained worldwide attention being the soundtrack to the ‘Free Hugs’ video, which has been viewed an incredible 64 million times and counting since it was uploaded to YouTube.
The video features the lead singer Shimon’s friend, Juan Mann, who used to walk around Sydney streets carrying a placard offering ‘Free Hugs’. Shimon captured him on video and a few years later after Shimon had moved to the US he found out Juan’s grandmother had died so he emailed Juan the video, set to the Sick Puppies track ‘All The Same’, to let him know he was thinking of him. The video was subsequently uploaded on YouTube and sparked a movement to offer Free Hugs around the world.
Sick Puppies debut UK album ‘Tri-Polar’ will be released in the spring. Tour dates are as follows:
Jan 26th – Leeds Cockpit
Jan 27th – Glasgow King Tuts
Jan 28th – Newcastle 02 Academy 2
Jan 29th – Nottingham Rock City Basement
Jan 30th – Sheffield Leadmill
Feb 1st – Manchester Roundhouse
Feb 2nd – Birmingham 02 Academy 3
Feb 3rd – London Borderline
