Australian hit machine Diesel has expanded his Sunset Suburbia Tour ,
adding new solo shows around the country. Having announced the release
of 3 separate EP’s leading to an album Sunset Suburbia , Diesel will
hit the road in 2020 to showcase new songs from the EP along with
playing all his classic hits spanning a multi-platinum career. Sunset
Suburbia Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 follows last year's Top 20 retrospective
Diesel 30 : a double-CD which featured 14 Top 40 hits, including Tip
Of My Tongue , Come To Me and Soul Revival . The third Sunset Suburbia
EP is currently under construction. An album featuring yet more new
songs is due mid 2020. Diesel says: "Suburbia has always held a
strange fascination for me. I remember designer cul de sacs strewn
with shotgun shells in Chandler Arizona; little vignettes of
skateboarding around closed service stations on weekends in Perth;
some guy in the hot tub in his backyard where I'm riding my bike over
the rail overpass in Sydney. I love going into where people live —
the sights, the smells, the little repetitive things that make their
world. It's kind of a bittersweet thing but it's the stuff of life and
it has a way of making songs." And after more than 30 years of
recording, Mark Lizotte — aka Diesel — has found a more direct
route from inspiration to revelation. He adds: “I’ve really
enjoyed doing it this way as it elongates the recording process,
allowing for each EP to take on a uniqueness. I’ve always been a bit
bummed when getting to the end of making a record and this in a way
delays gratification, making 3 ‘mini albums’ on the way to an
LP”. The ‘GREATEST HITS & SUNSET SUBURBIA’ SOLO TOUR will be
coming to a city, town or suburb near you soon... be sure to catch the
evolution of Diesel as an artist as he rolls out Sunset Suburbia and
performs a 'best of' collection of tracks in solo mode in venues
across the country!
