Australian electro pop band, Rogue Traders will perform never before heard songs from their yet to be released album at Vodafone Live at the Chapel this Sunday 12 August. This will be the first chance fans will have to see the band in Australia following an extensive European tour.
Fans can stream Rogue Traders’ performance live at 8pm on their Vodafone 3G mobiles or online via music.vodafone.com.au. Those tuning in will be the first to hear the band’s new material including the single, ‘Don’t you want to feel?’ not due for release until September 10.
Best known for their hits ‘Voodoo Child’, ‘In Love Again’ and ‘Watching You’ from their 4 x platinum selling album, ‘Here Come the Drums’, the ARIA award winning group are currently putting the finishing touches on their third album which will be released late this year. Rogue Traders are set to blow the Chapel audience away!
Tony McGinn, Executive Producer of the series and CEO of mcm entertainment said, ‘To have Rogue Traders come straight off their UK dates after playing to over 150,000 people, and perform their first home show at the Chapel is an honour indeed. It’s very exciting that fans will have an exclusive sneak peak at Rogue Traders’ brand new material as their new album is not out until late October.’
Fiona Murphy, Head of Sponsorship, Vodafone Australia said, ‘Vodafone is passionate and committed to providing music across Australia with amazing, “see it first” music experiences. Thanks to Vodafone Live at The Chapel, fans, whether Vodafone customers or not, will have access to this amazing, exclusive, never before seen Rogue Traders tracks – we’re proud of that’.
The sixth series of Vodafone Live at The Chapel began recording in mid July with a new, unique TV and mobile format, taking fans behind the scenes and bringing them closer to their favourite artists than ever before. Already some of Australia’s hottest acts including Missy Higgins, John Butler Trio, Josh Pyke and Sneaky Sound System, have played the exclusive venue with more great acts to follow.
Series six kicks off on Channel 7 at 10.30am on Sundays from September 9 for six weeks, before moving to a Saturday midday time slot. Live tracks from the performances will air on Nova.
