Happy Homecomings With MARK DALBETH And KEVIN HICKLIN From BLVD OF EYES

Happy Homecomings With MARK DALBETH And KEVIN HICKLIN From BLVD OF EYES

Interview by Kris Peters
US rock outfit BLVD OF EYES have strong ties with this side of the world, with bass player Mark Dalbeth living in Australia and playing in Melbourne band Belusera until he left our shores a decade ago. In that time, Dalbeth has found himself playing in an American band called BLVD OF EYES, who have often proclaimed their desire to visit our shores without much success.
But that all changes in November when BLVD OF EYES hit Australia for an East Coast tour with fellow US party machine The Midnight Devils. The bookends of the tour - a Sydney Harbour boat cruise on November 23 and HEAVYFEST 3 in Brisbane on November 29 - have been announced today to align with Independence Day, with the band also planning to fill in the blanks at a later date.
But for now, excitement reigns over BLVD OF EYES' debut trip to our shores, with guitarist Kevin Hicklin and Dalbeth joining HEAVY to spread the news.
"We're excited, man," Hicklin enthused. "Everything just came to fruition pretty quickly, so we're stoked to do it. We're gonna have our new release coming out around that time, so it's gonna be killer."
We mention the homecoming of sorts for Dalbeth.
"The last time I played shows in Australia was, I think, November, December 2015 with Belusera and Halestorm," he nodded. "So literally ten years later, I'm coming back. It's exciting, because I really miss Australia and I look forward to seeing everyone."
In the full interview, we spoke more about the Australian tour, what to expect from the band live, their last EP Buying Lies For The Truth Seeker and how it was received, upcoming new music, signing to XMusic and more.
