NEW PHOTOS UP FROM ALBUM LAUNCH

Go to our photo page and check out the latest photos from our Album Launch at the Zoo on the 26th June. A huge thanks to Bec from Rebel Jean Photography for her great shots.


PAUL DIANNO (IRON MAIDEN ORIGINAL SINGER) SHOW ROCKED
TDC supported rock legend Paul Dianno at Rosies on Tues 29th July 2010. Paul Dianno was Iron Maiden's first singer, appearing on their first 2 Albums. Paul has still got a big voice and awesome stage presence still after 30 years.
TDC warmed up the metal crowd in rock n roll style with a great response. Rock Horns raised everywhere. Ward finished the show smashing his guitar, once again putting a hole in the stage (right where Paul Dianno was about to stand!) Roadies quickly repaired the floor and the show went on.
F#%k Yeah!


THANKS TO OUR FANS FOR A FANTASTIC ALBUM LAUNCH!
We'd like to thank our loyal fans for making our Album Launch a fantastic and memorable success. With over 400 hardcore fans screaming and cheering us on, all members of the band rate this gig as our best ever! We filmed the show and will be releasing a live DVD hopefully by Xmas. Stay tuned for that. Thanks again. Rock On!


FULL THROTTLE' THE ALBUM IN STORES NOW
Our debut album, 'Full Throttle' is now available for purchase. The album features 12 'balls to the wall' rock tracks in the Good Oz Rock tradition. Thanks to Mark Spillane from Stockxchange Music and the team at Sony Music for their hard work in making this release happen. Stay tuned for launch show details.

THE LATEST NEWS FROM TDC!






TDC bringing you up to date with the latest! We've had a wild and flat-out past few months, playing some kick-ass shows including a tour to Melbourne, opening for The Screaming Jets and more recently supporting Oz Rock legends Rose Tattoo (Aria Rock n Roll Hall of Famers).
The September shows with Rose Tattoo in Brisbane were bloody awesome!
These were our first shows featuring our new 5 piece lineup. A huge thanks to Pauly Galagher for rocking out on rhythm guitar.
We would also like to thank the Tatts and everyone who came out to see us!! As these were our first shows since playing with The Screaming Jets back in May, we were keen to hit the stage rockin hard.
Check out the photos of us playing some Dominating, Ball Breaking, Straight Up Rock n Roll!! And it doesn't Stop!!
As you all must know we have also been busy recording our Debut Album Entitled 'Full Throttle' which is set to be released early next year. So get excited for that!
But next up we're opening for Welsh Rockers, Budgie, at the Hi-Fi Bar in Brissie on Nov 27th.
We will be finishing off the year with a huge headlining show at Rosies, Brisbane on Friday Dec 18th to launch our NEW DVD release of 'Sex, Boobs & Rock n Roll'! Make sure you're there for our final and biggest show of the year! Rock on !
 


RE-RECORDING FULL THROTTLE MAY/JUNE 09










 

Hey Rockers! We've been in the studio for the past 3 weeks re-recording the album, Full Throttle.
We originally recorded the 11 track album in June 08 at Black Box studios in Brisbane with Jeff Lovejoy engineering and Geordie Leach producing. We had it mastered at 301 studios, Sydney by Greg Clarke and Steve Smart.
We made the tough decision to re-record the album after getting the master back. We weren't completely happy with the Guitar and bass sounds on the recording and thought we could get better performances by re-recording it.
We decided to re-record using our long-term live soundman and living legend, Ean Redman behind the desk. We went into the awesome, Sounds Like Butter Studios in Brisbane on May 18th 09 and began laying down the big balled bass and Drum beds. After 3 flat-out weeks of recording by day and sex, drugs and rock n roll by night we had completed the tracking. We also did some final tracking at Ean's home studio in Goodna. All is sounding like sex so far.
Now, we're mixing and will again have it mastered at 301 by Steve Smart.
We're currently negotiating contracts for world domination and distribution and plan to have Full Throttle in stores by ealry 2010.
We'll also be releasing a DVD of the making of the album which will include interviews, behind the scenes footage, live performances, Ward's balls, Woodman's moonboot, nude drumming and Sol's dancemoves. Watch out for that one.
Sorry it's taken so long to get this album out. We assure you, it'll be worth the wait!
Remember, don't stop rockin!
