REVENGE GETS HOT

Californian duo She Wants Revenge are heading to Australia to shake-up venues in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane this August.

Justin Warfield and Adam 12 are She Wants Revenge and together, they’re hot property. The duo have found success overseas with their brilliant self-titled debut cracking the Top 40 on Billboard’s album chart.

With hip-hop roots, a love of 80s music and an aim to “make a record that would make girls dance and cry”, the duo’s tunes are dark, edgy and invigorating. The songs on their acclaimed debut revolve around themes of love, lust, obsession and sex and have the ability to get even the toughest of critics moving.

She Wants Revenge are a band in demand. The pair thrilled crowds at this year’s Coachella Festival and will play at Lollapalooza in Chicago and Summersonic in Japan later in the year. They’ve also opened for some of the hippest bands on the planet, including Depeche Mode, The Kills, Bloc Party and Moving Units.

This is your opportunity to see She Wants Revenge before they become the superstars they’re destined to be. Tickets are on sale now.

She Wants Revenge will be supported by much-talked about local bands The Temper Trap and Moscow Schoolboy.
