“Australia and New Zealand are two of the most beautiful and welcoming countries I’ve ever been to. Every time we tour, I push our reps to try and get us back there. Unfortunately, due to circumstance beyond our control like a global pandemic, it’s been way too long,” Filter main man Richard Patrick said. “Rock fans there are a very loyal and devoted bunch, and I know we will bring it when get Down Under. I really cannot wait.”
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the band’s birth. In 1993, founder and lead vocalist Patrick placed an ad in Scene Magazine in Cleveland, OH, shortly after leaving Nine Inch Nails as their touring guitarist, looking to form a band that would eventually evolve into Filter.
Patrick has spent three decades pushing the boundaries of musical expression. Filter’s debut album, ‘Short Bus‘, achieved platinum status, propelled by “Hey Man Nice Shot.” The success continued with ‘Title of Record,’ also going platinum thanks to crossover hit “Take A Picture.”
This year Patrick unleashed the new Filter album “The Algorithm,” which has delivered a sonic revolution for fans worldwide and has been called the band’s “best record in 20 years.”
Live Patrick hasn’t lost one iota of his in-your-face, punk-meets-rock persona. He still “belts out the lyrics with pure energy and aggression” and his band always deliver an intense, in-your-face performance.
“Richard Patrick had some mega energy and was right in the middle of the crowd…I mean literally. He was crowd-surfing while singing” (Media Mikes)
