Three-piece riff rockers Dallas Frasca are back in a huge way with an explosive new single Lizard Boy. The single from the Melbourne group, who have gained a fiercely loyal following in both Australia and Europe, is the first taste of their highly anticipated third album Love Army, due out in mid 2014.
To celebrate the release, the band will hit the road for a mighty 10-date national tour across April and May, bringing their famed live show to major cities Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra and Melbourne, as well as a number of regional towns across the country.
