Come Together has announced another tour in their series.
The iconic kiwi supergroup is combining the biggest and best songs they’ve recreated since their inception for a “banger” end-of-year-tour.
Jon Toogood, Shihad frontman, is a member of this star-studded group, and told Newstalk ZB’s Mike Hosking that he plans to perform David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.
He’s pretty sure Bowie is going to be featured in the tour, and picked the song because it’s one he knows on acoustic guitar.
Toogood told Hosking that music is a part of pretty much his whole day.
“It’s been my thing since I was two years old.”
The only time he’s not thinking about music is when he’s with his kids, saying that that’s when he feels “like a dad rather than a musician.”
He did pass the musical gene on to his children though, telling Hosking that his five-year-old daughter is either going to be a punk rock drummer or a truck driver.
“We made a decision early on with our kids,” Toogood revealed. “That whatever they’re passionate about, we’ll back them 100%.”
“I’m not into making copies of myself.”
Touring also comes naturally to Toogood, telling Hosking that he feels at home in front of an audience.
“I’m more comfortable on a stage than I am New World shopping,” he joked.
This particular tour however, comes with a bit of a challenge: picking the songs.
“There’s so many highlights on all the records we’ve done.”
But before that he’s taking his solo music to the East Coast, playing three shows to test out his new material.
“I’m looking forward to those.”
