Tour news: Push Push plan summer shows

Push Push are looking to tour the main NZ centres over summer.

Nineties glam rockers Push Push could be Trippin' their way around the country in a series of summer gigs.

Frontman Mikey Havoc revealed the former bandmates recently jammed together for the first time in 20 years, and had so much fun they're keen to hit the road again.

"It was remarkably cool fun actually. It felt like going straight back there," he said.

Push Push was formed by a group of Rangitoto College friends. They seared their way into the nation's consciousness with their No 1 single Trippin', which spent 25 weeks in the charts in 1991, and an album released the following year, A Trillion Shades of Happy.

The band also had hits with What My Baby Likes and Song 27, and modest success in Australia, before splitting in 1993.

Havoc said Push Push fans often asked him about a reunion. "I like the idea that I can still sing the songs, it blows my mind.

"I really miss the physical and spiritual feeling of singing.

"Not so fussed about being the front man of a band but it feels good to sing."

Havoc said the logistics of practising and performing were difficult as half the band lived in Australia.

But they were looking to tour the main New Zealand centres over summer — "maybe a couple of gigs in Auckland, maybe one in Wellington, and definitely a big one in Christchurch".
