Sick Puppies begin their winter tour with Breaking Benjamin on November 29th in San Antonio, TX, which will include a number of Holiday Radio Shows throughout the Midwest after returning from a short stint of dates supporting Nickelback starting in New Zealand November 7th and taking them back to their homeland of Australia.Sick Puppies' lead single "You're Going Down" took the rock world by storm, scoring them a No. 1 record on the Mediabase & BDS Active Rock Chart this past September. The single continues to hold strong on the Rock Radio charts and currently sits Top 5 at Active Rock and Top 20 at both Modern & Rock radio charts.
The hard hitting fight anthem appears on the band's latest album, Tri-Polar (RMR/Virgin Records/EMI Music), which released on July 14. Revolver recently spotlighted Sick Puppies as one of their Bands To Watch in their November 2009 issue. In addition, "You're Going Down," served as the theme for WWE's Extreme Rules PPV broadcast this summer, scored them an Unleashed video premiere on MTV2 & MTVu, is currently featured on WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 Video Game (out now), and has hit #1 on FUSE's Countdown Rock Show. While recently released b-side, "That Time of Year" will be featured on the NCIS Soundtrack and TV show this November. Riding the wave of success, Sick Puppies will begin shooting the video for follow up single "Odd One" in Los Angeles later this month subsequent to its impact on the modern and active rock radio charts.
Sick Puppies relocated to Los Angeles four years ago, and introduced themselves to the world with their song, "All The Same," which was used for video that was shot in a Sydney shopping mall featuring their friend Juan Mann, who held up a hand-written placard offering "Free Hugs," a clip seen by more than 50 million viewers on YouTube alone, spurring six-figure sales of their RMR/Virgin Records/EMI Music major label debut, Dressed Up As Life. In recent times, SICK PUPPIES (Shimon Moore, guitar and vocals, Emma Anzai, bass, Mark Goodwin, drums) completed a two-month headline tour, and a series of gigs supporting Evanescence, Deftones, Velvet Revolver, Chris Cornell, Flyleaf, Chevelle, Breaking Benjamin, 3 Doors Down and Finger Eleven.
