On Saturday 17 November, Globe Theatre presents Diesel, in a solo show with his band at 220 Brunswick St, Fortitude Valley

American born guitarist/singer Mark Lizotte was snatched from his Perth-based band The Innocent Bystanders and launched into the Australian charts as the leader of Johnny Diesel & The Injectors in the late ’80s.

A career was born and Mark became known as Diesel.

Diesel made a name for himself with his versatility on the guitar and his rich, soulful voice. His band’s debut album entered the charts at #2 and was the biggest-selling album of 1989.

Diesel’s first album under his own name (1992), was a mega-platinum smash and earned him ARIA Awards in the ‘Best Album’ and ‘Best Male’ talent categories. He is the only artist to win ‘Best Male’ Awards on three separate occasions.

In 2001, having started a family and relocated to New York, Diesel returned to Australia, assembled a band, and began gigging as a solo artist.

Diesel released his latest album Coathanger Antennae in June 2007.

“I want to make records where I can play with other people and just have fun,” says Diesel.

“This album is the most liberating record to date”.

The album ranges from heartfelt ballads to soulful rockers and some straight-out rock & roll.
