Four years have passed since Australia’s Sick Puppies relocated to Los Angeles, and took the world by storm with their song, “All The Same,” used for a video shot in a Sydney shopping mall with their friend Juan Mann, who held up a hand-written placard offering “Free Hugs,” which was seen by over 43 million viewers on YouTube alone, spurring six-figure sales of their RMR/Virgin Records/EMI Music major label debut, Dressed Up As Life.
Now, primed by almost three straight years of touring, playing before thousands at festivals and generally living in rock and roll’s fast lane, vocalist/guitarist Shimon Moore, his high school classmate, bassist Emma Anzai, and drummer Mark Goodwin, an Orange County native who answered an ad in Craig’s List to join the band, Sick Puppies are back with their eagerly awaited follow-up, Tri-Polar, scheduled for release July 14, the band’s third album overall.
