LMFAO CONFIRMED FOR AUSTRALIAN & NEW ZEALAND TOUR SUPPORT
“…sleazy jams, booty boasts and enough irony to clog your Jacuzzi.” – Rolling Stone
The Frontier Touring Company is pleased to confirm that LMFAO – your new favourite band – will support The Black Eyed Peas during their forthcoming The E.N.D. World Tour when it hits Australia and New Zealand this October.
An electro-hop duo from California, LMFAO – made up of DJ/rappers Redfoo and Sky Blu – are not your typical band. Named following an iChat conversation with Sky Blu’s techno-savvy grandmother, LMFAO have shown little respect for convention, forging their own path in the music world.
Releasing their debut album Party Rock in mid-09, LMFAO haven’t calmed down, producing ‘Back to the Future’ for Pitbull , and proving their status as master remixers, knocking out tracks by Kanye West, Lady Gaga and Fergie, to name but a few.
A long-standing friendship – and a spectacular back story – between Redfoo and will.i.am sees LMFAO join the tour alongside The Black Eyed Peas. As the story goes Will and Red were high school pals. Will wanted to be signed to Red’s dad’s (Berry Gordy, yes, that Berry Gordy) record label. It didn’t happen, but Will and Red were still cool.
Fast forward to 1995 and Will’s working on a new project: The Black Eyed Peas. Recording the band’s first demo, The Black Eyed Peas’ time was split between three houses, one of which belonged to Redfoo. That demo scored The Black Eyed Peas their record deal. And the rest, as I guess they say, is history.
Tickets to the The E.N.D. World Tour are selling fast, with only limited tickets remaining at shows. If you haven’t secured yours yet, time is running out. The addition of LMFAO to the bill will only make them sell faster.
