**_“The Casanovas’ AC/DC-infused sound is keeping the tradition of Aussie rock alive.”_–
Joe Matera**

Melbourne’s rock’n’roll kings **The Casanovas** today release their fifth album,****_**
Backseat Rhythms**_, on Rubber Records**.**

_Backseat Rhythms_ was mixed by legendary US producer **Ron Nevison** – a man who
made his mark working on an engineer on **The Who’s **_**Quadrophenia**_**,** **
Bad Company**‘s debut and **Led Zeppelin’s **_**Physical Graffiti **_before going
onto produce **Thin Lizzy, UFO** and **Kiss** amongst others.

The album is classic **Casanovas**; a pure distillation of the riff-heavy and melodic’
70s hard rock that they love, bottled into the aural equivalent of one of those 
minibar miniatures that always leaves you wanting more.

_The Casanovas – The Lover (Official Audio)_

_Backseat Rhythms _follows the band’s 2020 album _**Reptilian Overlord**_, which
got the best reviews of the band’s career, and a rapturously received European tour
in October 2022. That tour came nearly 20 years to the month since they first toured
Europe with **The Datsuns**, and took in 15 shows across Spain, France, Holland,
Sweden, Denmark, Germany (including a performance on the legendary **Rockpalast!**).

The new album is the first to feature new drummer **Brett “Wolfie” Wolfenden **who
joined in time to tour the last album and who has previously played with **The Pictures**,
legendary **Masters Apprentices frontman Jim Keays **and **Todd Rundgren**. **Wolfie,**
who has joined frontman/guitarist **Tommy Boyce** and longtime bass player **Damo
Campbell**, is helping **The Casanovas** take their sound to new levels.

**The Casanovas will launch **_**Backseat Rhythms**_** at the Espy Gershwin Room
in St Kilda on Friday, 13 October 2023 with guests The Stripp. **[Tickets](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com:443/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2ffacebook.us4.list%2dmanage.com%2ftrack%2fclick%3fu%3d7468cc72c4dbd0d828cf87a0a%26id%3d75d105569a%26e%3d7f3088bce0&umid=0bdad1db-d4a6-4c1d-bf36-fc59c17b7518&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-d3263e1b1585d7161dc26d10f9373aa8c4d78087)

_**“It’s like they’ve captured all my favourite rock acts – Cheap Trick, Stones,
Kiss, ZZ Top & AC/DC, and crammed them all into their own jar of Vegemite.”**_ –**
James Young** (owner of the world famous **Cherry Bar**)

**_“’The Casanovas are at their best when they’re just joyously rocking out, and‘
Reptilian Overlord’ is filled to the brim: “Cold Day in Hell”, “Stand Back” and 
the supremely rocking “Red Hot” are simply parties looking for a place to happen,
and that place should be the cars and living rooms of anyone who needs to something
kick-ass right now.”  8/10_** – Loud

_**“Summing up: wonderful songs, wonderful songwriters, wonderful band. Hopefully
when the world gets back to its normal self, we can go watch them rock the fuck 
out. The Casanovas will be a priority for me, and I want to hear these songs live.”
5/5** –_ I94 Bar

**_“With ‘Reptilian Overload’, The Casanovas sign off on their best album, a concentrate
of hard rock with a sublime heavy touch! The Australian tradition continues!”  _5/
5** – United Rock Nations, France

[⌊The Casanovas⌉⌊The Casanovas⌉[

**_“You can compare The Casanovas with bands like AC/DC, Rose Tattoo, Airbourne,
a little bit of Kiss or the Stones. Ass-kicking Hard Rock with a light Glam / Sleaze
note – sometimes hot and sometimes bluesy.” 8/10_** – Rock Garage, Germany

**The Casanovas** formed in 1999 and got caught up in the early 21st-century rock
mania, sharing a bill with a barely known White Stripes early on before touring 
Europe with **The Datsuns**. Then came** SXSW**, **Triple J** rotation, **The Big
Day Out**, and shows/tours with **Motörhead**, **Mötley Crüe**, **The Darkness**,**
The Living End**, **The Black Crowes**, **Redd Kross,** **Airbourne** and others.

They always had deeper roots though; they were as much **The Powder Monkeys** as**
AC/DC**, and very much a merging of two great local traditions – hard rocking punk
and larrikin Oz rock – so they naturally stuck to their guns when rock was no longer
in fashion.

These days it’s like the early days at the Tote all over, and with new drummer **
Brett Wolfenden** on board (Wolfie is a longtime sideman of **You Am I**’s **Davey
Lane** and has played with **Jim Keays** and **Todd Rundgren**), joining frontman/
guitarist **Tommy Boyce** and longtime bass player **Damo Campbell**, they are finding
an even greater joy in playing.
