CANCELLED: Chris Masuak's Dog Soldier

It is with extreme regret that Chris Masuak has been forced to cancel his forthcoming Australian tour with Dog Soldier and Spanish dates with Los Revelators after emergency surgery to save the sight in an eye.

Chris was rushed into hospital in Lugo, Spain, on Monday after experiencing a week of deteriorating vision. A surgeon re-attached a retina and Chris is now at home recuperating.

He is under doctor’s orders not to fly and will need time to manage his recovery. Chris hopes to re-schedule the dates for early 2026 and his new CD, “Chris Masuak’s Dog Soldier”, will be released on November 7.

Lamenting the chronic shortage of real guitar rock and roll afflicting this ever fracturing planet, ex-Radio Birdman, Hitmen, New Christs and Screaming Tribesmen guitarist Chris Masuak is returning to Australia to do something about it.
Chris Masuak’s Dog Soldier will land at Banshee’s Bar and Artspace in Ipswich on Sunday November 16.

Supports will be The Mick Medew and Ursula 4 (led by Masuak’s old Screaming Tribesmen bandmate Mick Medew) and Gold Coast garage rockers The Spivs. 

It’s been more than two years since Masuak left his adopted home of Spain and came back to his longtime old stamping ground, of Australia but he hasn’t been idle.
As well as gigging through Europe, he’s released an EP with his main Spanish band, Los Revelators, a swansong single with his other Spanish band, The Viveiro Wave Riders (on US label Savage Magic).
He’s had a song included on UK label Cherry Red’s “I Wanna Be A Teen Again - American Power Pop 1980-1989” box set (by virtue of being born in Canada) and has recorded a new record with Chris Masuak’s Dog Soldier.

Chris Masuak’s Dog Solider (the band) will play songs from the album (of the same name) on their Australian tour, as well as a swag of killer music from Klondike’s notable former bands and solo career.
Bassist Tony Bambach is unavailable for this tour due to work commitments, so Masuak and drummer Stuart Wilson (New Christs, Lime Spiders, Van Ruin, Aberration) are being joined by Phil Hall (Sardine V, Dropbears, Roddy Ray'Da & The Surfin' Caesars, Lime Spiders and John Kennedy's '68 Comeback Special).

Expect the tour (and the album on I-94 Bar Records) to shake some action and burn some eyes.
