Aussie rockers' UK deal

February 11, 2007 12:00am

 

AUSTRALIAN rock group Rogue Traders have signed on as the support act for Girls Aloud's British tour, giving them an opportunity to build their UK fan base.

 

The band - Natalie Bassingthwaighte, James Ash, Timothy Henwood and Cameron McGlinchey - are also rumoured to be on the verge of signing with a major label in the US.

 

Girls Aloud is the UK's highest-selling pop group.

 

The tour will see Rogue Traders play some of the UK's biggest venues in May, including London's Wembley Arena.

 

Signed to Sony BMG in Australia, Rogue Traders have attracted a lot of interest overseas since the release of their first single, Voodoo Child.

 

Locally, the group have had massive success with their debut album, Here Come The Drums, and have had a number of hit singles. In the UK, Voodoo Child reached number three in the singles charts.

 

Last week, they filmed the video clip for their third single in the UK, Way To Go.

 

The group's management confirmed the band had been in discussions with a major US label.

I love Voodoo Child :wub: and Watching You soooo I can't wait :cheer:

 

Their album is on my shopping list too, probably float up to the top for next week now :D

Quite a good support act I guess. Who supported them last time? I think I remember it being some boyband? Or was that a joint tour or something

OMG! :wub:

 

I love them to bits. I went to see them last July at Shepherd's Bush and they put on an incredible show. Here Come The Drums was my favourite album of last year. :wub:

 

I'll get to see them again, aswell as the girls! :cheer:

Is it wrong that I must admit I'm maybe slightly more excited about seeing Rogue Traders perform than I am Girls Aloud...?

 

Anyways so so so so so excited about this, it'll be my second time seeing them perform and you just know they'll be awesome.
