Since their formation they have assembled a rotating lineup of musicians who have otherwise played with groups including Whitesnake, Guns N' Roses, Black Sabbath, and Motley Crue, among others.

Although functioning as a sort of "supergroup" during its history, the band has been spearheaded by guitarist David Lowy while its various live and studio based releases have come out.

The Dead Daisies were formed in the city of Sydney within Australia by musicians Jon Stevens (formerly of the bands Noiseworks and INXS) and David Lowy (formerly of the group Mink) in 2012.

[1] The band's self-titled debut album was recorded in two weeks at Wishbone Studios in Los Angeles in 2013 with American producer/engineer and multi-instrumentalist John Fields.

Lead singer Stevens performed for a while with casts on his hand and leg as a result of an injury sustained when escaping from a crocodile on a fishing excursion in Australia.

[10] In the fall of 2013 the band played 18 shows in the United Kingdom with the Black Star Riders with new recruits Charley Drayton (who has performed with Divinyls, the Cult, the Rolling Stones, Mariah Carey, Johnny Cash, Miles Davis, Bob Dylan, Herbie Hancock, Janet Jackson, Chaka Khan, Courtney Love, Iggy Pop, Seal, Paul Simon, and Neil Young, among others) on drums and Darryl Jones (longtime supporting musician for the Rolling Stones) on bass (instead of Marco Mendoza).

[14] Coinciding with the tour of the UK, Britain's Classic Rock magazine included a feature on the Dead Daisies in its November 2013 issue.

[17] In February 2014, the Dead Daisies regrouped with the line-up of Lowy, Stevens, Fortus, and Reed, with a returning Mendoza and new drummer John Tempesta (the Cult) to undertake their first full headline Australian tour,[18] plus shows supporting Australian rocker Jimmy Barnes for two shows: Twilight At Taronga, at Taronga Zoo in Sydney, and at the Bateau Bay Hotel.

During their visit, the band jammed in studio with Cuban musicians, played an energetic sold-out show at Havana's Maxim Rock Club, visited young Cuban musicians at the National Institute of Music, and finished with a performance at the Concert for Peace (Roc Por La Paz) in front of over 6,000 fans.

[30] On 16 April 2015, the Dead Daisies officially announced John Corabi would remain with the band as lead vocalist, and that Jon Stevens would no longer be a member of the group.

The groups met up for their first US show in Westbury, New York, and finished things off in St. Charles, Missouri, bringing American audiences the album Revolución as well as the world premiere of the documentary, titled the same, of their historic trip to Cuba on Twitter.

On 28 January 2016, it was announced that Richard Fortus (2013–2016) and Dizzy Reed (2013–2016) would be taking part in the Guns N' Roses "Not in This Lifetime... Tour" and that Doug Aldrich (2016–present) would join the band on lead guitar.

With Aldrich, the band recorded their new album Make Some Noise in Nashville with producer Marti Frederiksen (Aerosmith, Gavin Rossdale, Mötley Crüe, Buckcherry) during February and March 2016.

[33] The band also announced European dates[33] and a US tour with Kiss[34] for the summer as well as their first Japanese show at Loud Park festival in October.

For the first time, The Dead Daisies included headline concerts in Los Angeles at the famous Whisky-A-Go-Go and Webster Hall in New York.

After doing a show for fans of the NFL team Arizona Cardinals, the album's title track, 'Make Some Noise', was adopted for their touchdown song.

Included is a 'Live And Louder' documentary DVD showcasing the 'Make Some Noise World Tour' and selected acoustic tracks along with a massive photo booklet.

Enthusiastic Japanese fans had clamored for the band to return to 'The Land of the Rising Sun' so they did to two sold-out shows in Osaka and Tokyo in July.

In a major spectacular, the band played the Woodstock Festival in Poland along with the Gorzów Philharmonic Orchestra to hundreds of thousands in the audience before heading back to the US for their first headline tour.

Aptly titled 'The Dirty Dozen' kicked off in August and saw the band storm through major cities across North America including New York, Chicago, Toronto, Los Angeles and finishing up in Las Vegas.

Throughout July, the band played a series of dates including festivals in Europe and guest slots with the Scorpions in Portugal and Guns N' Roses in Estonia.

[38] The band headed to the Kiss Kruise at the end of October for the fourth time, where they set sail for Key West and Nassau.

Dates in Italy, France, Croatia, Hungary, Austria, Holland, Belgium, Spain, Portugal and Germany took them to the middle of December 2018 and the end of the tour.

[citation needed] On 23 August 2019, the band released Locked and Loaded, a collection of cover songs recorded both live and in the studio.

The band had a successful run of shows in the UK with packed audiences at the Shepherds Bush O2 Empire in London and Rock City in Nottingham, as well as Birmingham, Liverpool, Bristol, Oxford, Norwich and Cardiff.

'Radiance' was released with a new animated video and online platform with the alternate version of the band, The Meta Daisies, with which one could spend some time in a virtual bar with fellow fans listening to the track.

[citation needed] 11 November saw the release of the latest single 'Born To Fly', inspired by David Lowy's background as a pilot, ahead of the UK tour beginning on 3 December in Nottingham.

On 19 May 2023, it was announced that John Corabi had returned to the Dead Daises' line-up, and then, in addition, bassist Michael Devin joined the group for the first time.

[45] In November of 2024, the band toured Europe and performed shows in Austria, Belgium, Czechia, France, Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands, and Switzerland.

Several of these concerts included special guest, the iconic Danish singer-songwriter Mike Tramp, with him being known for his work in groups such as White Lion.
