year absence, the legendary duo bring their spectacular, acclaimed stage show to New Zealand later
this month before arriving in Australia for the first show in Melbourne on February 2.
The iconic duo are coming off an extensive 2011 tour which saw them play venues from Tokyo to
Nashville, including three sold-out shows at the Hollywood Bowl.
Although their extraordinary run of hits – including six US #1 singles, ‘Rich Girl’, „Kiss On My List’,
„Private Eyes’, „I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do)., „Maneater. and „Out Of Touch’ - spanned the 80.s
and 90.s, Daryl and John have become cool with a whole new generation of musicians and fans and
are one of the most sampled artists around, impacting many new artists. It.s no wonder there is real
excitement about seeing these much-loved performers again.
Daryl has been busy with his critically acclaimed and multi-award-winning monthly web series Live
from Daryl’s House (http://www.livefromdarylshouse.com/) which is garnering impressive ratings in its
televised syndicated version, now available nationally in the US. Both Daryl and John released well-
received solo albums last year in „Laughing Down Crying’ and „Mississippi Mile’, respectively.
“Daryl and I are both very passionate about our solo projects and then we get together and play as
Hall & Oates. I.m happy that a younger generation is still discovering what we have done, and that
the songs have held up and people care enough to re-record them. It.s been a cool thing to happen
later in our career and it keeps our music alive.”
“It.s a true thrill to go to Australia and New Zealand to play these shows,” adds Daryl. “We have a
great many fans there and we.re really looking forward to reconnecting with them.”
Daryl and John will be joined on all shows by ICEHOUSE, whose relationship goes back to the late
„80s when John Oates co-wrote and sang vocals on the band.s smash hit „Electric Blue’” with lead
singer Iva Davies.
2011 has seen Iva.s return to the music scene with the release of „Flowers Icehouse 30th Anniversary
Edition’ and „White Heat: 30 Hits’ which went Gold after only two weeks, proving just how timeless the
music of ICEHOUSE truly is.
Most recently Iva was invited to be a Friend of Australia by Tourism Australia and is currently in Los
Angeles for G.day LA Week joining such past ambassadors as Baz Luhrmann, Hugh Jackman and
Olivia Newton John in promoting Australia during the annual US showcase. The appointment comes
in the 30th anniversary year of the release of one of the band.s most successful songs and an
unofficial Australian anthem – „Great Southern Land’.
“I was absolutely delighted I was invited to be an official „Friend of Australia. and look forward to an
engaging year ahead in that role,” Iva said. “It.s also going to be a lot of fun touring with Daryl and
John. They are amazing musicians, writers, arrangers, performers and great innovators so it will be
an exciting run of shows.”
