Chris Masuak Returns to Oz!
Chris Masuak’s musical history reads like a muscle car ride through the mean streets of Australia’s rock and roll underground but appearances Down Under have been few and far between since he relocated to Spain.
Masuak is about to right that wrong with a handful of select shows in NSW in March and April, his first in four years.

Get Brujita by Chris Masuak and The Viveiro Wave Riders Now!
Chris Masuak (ex-Radio Birdman, Screaming Tribesmen, New Christs, Hitmen) has a new album recorded with his crack Spanish band, The Viveiro Wave Riders.
"Brujita" is a return to hard rock-pop roots for Masuak. Propelled by a nimble engine room and Klondike's scorching guitar,
It's a rock and roll record tempered by his trademark melody lines and pop smarts. It features 12 tracks (two of them exclusive to the CD edition) and most of them are instant anthems.
From the rollicking "Viveiro Rocks" to the raucous ode to Detroit's diva, "Niagara", this is an album of high-energy rock-pop rifferama. From the stinging Birdmanesque "No Younger" (based in part on a song Chris wrote for the Birdmen back in 1996) to the Flamin'-Groovies-meet-the-Dictators swagger of "Another Lost Weekend" (a re-recorded version of a vinyl single) to the acidic reflection of "Bird Brain", it's a gem.
