Alt-rock icons Spin Doctors are celebrating the 35th anniversary of their 1991 debut album Pocket Full of Kryptonite with an Australian and New Zealand tour next year.

This marks Spin Doctors’ first tour of the country since 1993, with the band going all out with shows in major cities and regional areas, along with a special gig in New Zealand.

Pocket Full of Kryptonite topped the Australian and New Zealand album charts and made it #3 on the US Billboard 200, with the singles ‘Two Princes’ and ‘Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong’ propelling Spin Doctors into the music stratosphere.

Speaking on the tour, Spin Doctors’ Chris Barron said, "I lived in Australia when I was a kid, and I’m friends with Dave Gleeson of Screaming Jets. It’s been something like 30 years since we played Australia, and we’ve never played New Zealand! Way too long! What have we been thinking?!?I’m beside myself with anticipation. I can’t wait to relive good memories, see old and new friends, and rock Pocketful Of Kryptonite!!!”

Making a massive splash with their 1991 debut album Pocket Full of Kryptonite, Spin Doctors became alt-rock darlings of the ‘90s.

While they never matched the success of their first album, Spin Doctors have continued to write and record music, releasing a total of seven studio albums, including this year’s Face Full of Cake.

The current lineup of original members Chris Barron, Eric Schenkman and Aaron Comess, along with Jack Daley, can’t wait to make their Australian return next year.
