Rogue Traders Announce New Single & Launch Show

MELBOURNE, Australia (Top40 Charts/ Rogue Traders Official Website) - To celebrate the launch of their new single, 'Would You Raise Your Hands?', and their upcoming album release, Rogue Traders are very excited to announce a one-off show in Sydney. On Saturday, April 10th, Rogue Traders will play Star City's Lyric Theatre, giving fans a sneak peek of their new album 'Night of the Living Drums' plus performing all the Rogues classics such as 'Voodoo Child' and 'Don't You Wanna Feel'.

Joining the band on stage will be Rogue Traders' new singer Ms. Mindi Jackson, a tall, lithe bundle of energy, who brings her own vocal and visual talents to the band's make-up, and sounds as effortless tearing through the new numbers, many of which she co-wrote with Ash, as she does wrapping her vocal interpretation around the Rogues classics.

'Would You Raise Your Hands?' is the next step in the Rogue Traders' never-ending evolution, part of a new collection of music that marks a move back to the group's club roots, yet loses none of the pop smarts that have seen the band sell over 1 million records worldwide.

Rogue Traders shot the video for 'Would You Raise Your Hands?' in Melbourne last week and the glam inspired electro tune will be instantly recognisable to fans with the line "Unplug the jukebox, do us all a favour" from the Adam & The Ants classic 'Ant Music'. Buoyed by swaggering guitars and chunky synths, 'Would You Raise Your Hands' bounds relentlessly towards its addictive sing-a-long chorus refrain, the song's breathless energy and addictive melodies setting the tone for the upcoming Rogues album 'Night Of The Living Drums', set for release in June 2010.

Rogue Traders have released three previous albums - We Know What You're Up To, Here Come The Drums, and Better In The Dark - yielding numerous hit singles, an ARIA Award, multiple APRA Awards and an MTV Award.
Tickets for the Lyric Theatre show go on sale at 9am, Monday, February 22nd and are available through Ticketmaster at www.tickmaster.com.au or phone 136 100.
