Devilskin will rise
Win a signed Devilskin photo
Multi-platinum Kiwi rockers Devilskin are revving up and getting ready to hit the road shortly in celebration of the 10th Anniversary of their ground-breaking debut album We Rise.
Hot on the heels of the release of their jaw-dropping rendition of Heart’s hardkicking 70’s rock anthem Barracuda, Devilskin are now gearing up to reunite with their ardent fans across the country.
Renowned for their phenomenal live shows, Devilskin always bring their A-game musicianship, formidable energy, and compelling presence to the stage.
This run of shows will undoubtedly maintain that tradition, featuring their solid arsenal of banging tour hits and fan favourites which includes the likes of Little Pills, Never See The Light, Start A Revolution, Fade, Mountains, Pray, Grave, Believe In Me, Animal, Endo, All Fall Down, Corrode and Everybody’s High But Me and some brand new material off their upcoming EP Surfacing, set for release on Friday, May 3.
Pulling out all the stops, Devilskin have stacked the line-up for a killer evening of powerhouse rock with two
very special guests on board for all shows: a surprising reformation of Auckland rock band Tadpole, featuring the wide-ranging and fearless vocals of dynamic indie-poppunk singer Emma Dilemma.
Well-known for a string of huge radio-friendly singles and popular numbers such as Offering, Too Hard, Backdoor, For Me, Blind, Alright and Yesterday, Tadpoles legacy as a highly successful and hardworking four-piece rock act makes them a perfect fit for the ‘ We Rise’ tour.
The irrepressibly raucous energy of progressive Auckland rock duo Skinny Hobos round out the line-up.
Released in 2014, We Rise was the much anticipated and aptly named album that put the band front and centrestage of the New Zealand rock scene, shooting straight to the top of the charts and taking out both the No. 1 Album and No. 1 Kiwi Artist album spots.
From there on in, the album quickly achieved Gold then Double Platinum status, thus earning Devilskin a welldeserved place in the hearts of hard rock/metal fans and cementing a future based around a relentless touring schedule.
Devilskin are beyond excited to curate this line-up for these shows, saying: We are delighted to be touring again and getting around the countryside to see, and thank, the amazing people we have met in the decade since we released We Rise. There's an
army of people that have contributed to Devilskin being where we are now, and this tour is a big, fat, celebratory thank you from us. It's going to be a lot of fun. The audience are getting an absolute treat with Tadpole and Skinny Hobos bringing the party. We promise a night to remember!
Not a band to rest on their laurels, in July 2023 Nail was made a Gibson Artist, the first Kiwi guitarist to achieve this coveted title from the iconic manufacturer.
Lead singer Jennie Skulander was invited to sing the female part of Don’t Tell Me with Disturbed when they played at Spark Arena recently and Devilskin were invited on stage during Halestorm’s March Town Hall concert in Auckland to share a social moment with the band.
This week we’re offering the chance to win a signed Devilskin photo.
As you can see by the attached image, there are two different photos up for grabs. We have two copies of each.
All have been personally signed by Paul, Nail, Jennie and Nic and then laminated to ensure their longevity. And longevity is pretty much what Devilskin is all about. They are more than just music. They are a musical ‘family’, and they are in it for the long haul.
Through the highs and lows, the tears and laughter and they bring it all together at those much sort after ‘family reunions’ — their live gigs!
