We have lots of exciting plans in the works for later this year - we can’t wait to show you!”

Dimoso is an independent marketing and PR agency specializing in tech with a focus on gaming. Jacki started her first tech PR firm in 1995, needless to say, Dimoso is a well-known name and holds the contacts to all key players in the media and in the industry.
“The Dead Daisies management are known worldwide as innovators and pioneers, and we pride ourselves on creating unique experiences to connect with our fans.” David Edwards, the band’s manager, says. “The metaverse presents a unique opportunity to lead the way in a new world of entertainment; cutting edge technology will bring fans of the band right into Daisyland.

Partnering with YAHAHA, Altergaze and Dimoso is only the first step, we can’t wait to show you what else we have in store.”
Always ahead of the curve, this isn’t The Dead Daisies’ first foray into the virtual world. Last year the band, comprised of Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple), Doug Aldrich (Whitesnake), Brian Tichy (Foreigner) and David Lowy (Mink), released Daisy’s Revenge, a sharp shooting mobile game set in a carnival underworld with the bands’ music and heroine Daisy Van Horne.
The fun doesn’t stop there! Talks are underway with major players to create Daisyland, the TV series. Keep your eyes peeled for more exciting news soon.
The Dead Daisies recently released a new digital single and music video, "Rise Up" (Live From Daisyland).
A message from the band states: "A New Year – A LIVE release… just for you guys!
"Over the festive break, we’ve been listening through some of the recordings from our Like No Other US & England/Wales tour and four killer versions of the band’s favourites stood out. 'Rise Up', 'Bustle And Flow', 'Long Way To Go' and an extended fiery version of the Deep Purple classic 'Burn'. Our amazing Sound Engineer, Tommy Dimitroff recorded these tracks at Rock City in Nottingham, UK to a monstrous crowd who really fired us up! A rockin’ night was had by all!
"So for those of you who weren’t able to come and hang with us at a live show last year, or for those who did, we’re going to release all these songs over the next few months digitally.
"Here’s 'Rise Up' (Live From Daisyland)! It’ll almost make you feel like you were there! Turn It up and check out the video with some epic footage from the tour as well!"
