D.D. SMASH TO RESIDE IN OZ!
After a quick visit home to say their goodbyes, DD Smash will head back across the Tasman for good. The band is in Sydney at present, playing almost every night. Most of the gigs have been headliners at pubs and rugby league clubs. Bass player lan Morris told RIU the band would return to New Zealand in about a fortnight and spend about three weeks on extensive promotion. Then it's back to Sydney to live and to record their second album. No decision has been made on what studio or producer the band will use. Their current single 'Outlook for Thursday' is getting some airplay in Oz but the band is waiting on the promotional video which should create more interest. The band is working hard during a recent 12 day trip to Melbourne they played 14 gigs. At the moment it appears that Morris, originally only a stand-in bassist, will be staying with the band.
