'Men At Work'-frontman back at work
The man is back at work. Colin Hay, the frontman for the 80s Australian band Men At Work, said he is launching his longest North American solo tour in more than a decade.
The series of more than 60 concerts started in San Juan Capistrano, Calif., on Thursday 29 January with plans to run through October, hitting cities including Chicago, Philadelphia, Atlanta, New York and Nashville.
Hay showcases his new songs along with old hits like "Down Under," "Overkill" and "Who Can It Be Now?" in acoustic-heavy performances that blend music with comedy and storytelling.
"The idea is to bring the past up to the present and then we can move on from there, hopefully," as Hay stated.
That's the philosophy he employed on his last album, "Man (At) Work," which was aimed at new fans while still satisfying the longtime Men at Work stalwarts.
"I have very good relationships with those old songs. They've been very good to me. We look after each other very well," Hay said.
