Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening have announced that they will be launching a tour of Australia and New Zealand this spring.

The tour is set to launch on April 5th at The Astor Theatre in Perth, Australia and will wrap up on April 16th at the Great Hall in Auckland, New Zealand.

Band leader Jason Bonham, son of late Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, said in a recent interview about the trek, “The show is all of those demons I had to go through growing up and realizing that everybody I knew understood how great my dad and Led Zeppelin were.

“To me, he was just dad, and I was more interested in other music. By the time I understood how amazing he was, dad was gone. I couldn’t tell him, and that was the sad part. I figured out how great he was, and I never had the chance to tell my dad, ‘do you know how good you are?’ That’s why when I do the show now, it’s my way of saying that to him.”

04/05 – The Astor Theatre – Perth, Australia
04/07 – Palais Theatre – Melbourne, Australia
04/08 – The Enmore Theatre – Sydney, Australia
04/09 – The Tivoli – Brisbane, Australia
04/11 – Hindley Street Music Hall – Adelaide, Australia
04/14 – James Hay Theatre – Christchurch, New Zealand
04/15 – The Opera House – Wellington, New Zealand
04/16 – Great Hall – Auckland, New Zealand

Daft Punk’s Thomas Bangalter shares ‘L’Accouchement’, first song from forthcoming solo album

Posted on January 31, 2023 by HD Radio Network

Daft Punk‘s Thomas Bangalter has shared the first track from his forthcoming solo album, ‘Mythologies’.

The sprawling ‘L’Accouchement’ is the 10th of 23 pieces that make up the orchestral ‘Mythologies’. The 90-minute album was originally commissioned by choreographer and Ballet Preljocaj founder Angelin Preljocaj for a ballet of the same name.

The score was performed and recorded by Orchestre National Bordeaux Aquitaine, under the musical direction of Romain Dumas, and the accompanying premiered in July last year at Bordeaux’s Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux.

Set to arrive on April 7, the former Daft Punk member’s album doesn’t draw on electronic music. Instead, according to a press release, it focuses on “the large-scale traditional force of a symphony and, as such, it embraces the history of orchestral ballet music”.

Listen to ‘L’Accouchement’ below:

Daft Punk announced they were parting ways in February 2021 after 28 years together, confirming the news in a video titled ‘Epilogue’ featuring footage from their 2006 sci-fi film Electroma.

Earlier this month, the duo shared a rare unmasked live video of ‘Rollin & Scratchin’ from their archives online. The clip was first aired as part of a one-off Twitch stream last year, during which the French electronic duo streamed a full set filmed in LA’s Mayan Theater in 1997. The stream marked the one-year anniversary of their split, and the 25th anniversary of their landmark debut album ‘Homework’.
