Returning to Australian soil Harmonic Generator teamed up with one of Australia's most renowned producers Mark Opitz(ACDC/KISS/INXS/The Angels) and acclaimed Australian producer Colin Wynne of One Music Asia to record and produce their new songs . "Australia has such a great rock music history" states Renaud of Harmonic Generator " Coming here has allowed us to learn so much about our music and the evolution continues working with Mark (Opitz)"
After amazing warm up shows in Victoria, at one of which the boys from the world famous 'Airbourne' turned up and partied to the French rockers music, Harmonic generator perform 5 shows only in Australia before returning home.
Driving a Rock'N'Roll projectile into the audience, these Euro gutter rockers pile on the energy with firebrand guitars, body shaking rhythms and implode the stage with a volatile injection of rebellious rock n roll vocals.
The band have hooked up with some of Australia's best known act like Kevin Borich and The Poor along with some of the fastest moving breakthrough bands such as The Deep End, Vendetta and Running Hot (Vic) Pistenbroke (SA), Bonney Read (NSW), Forever The Optimist, 1.1.1 and Kill The Apprentice (Qld) to help deliver the ‘Nasty Frogs Tour’ on Australian soil this April and May.
So it's Thirty Mill Studio for this exciting rock band, then off to plunder, down-under!! There’s no question that France’s ‘Harmonic Generator’ have hit the ground running in 2012.
