Here I am, staring at a screen in the dark, contemplating the future. As you may be aware, Dekkers is leaving The Aussie Invasion, DK Promotions and Hard Rock Radio Live. "What does that mean?" I hear you ask ... despite having suffered the most minor of issues during the last 2 and a half years we have been broadcasting as The Aussie Invasion team, we have soldiered on, in an attempt to bring what we consider THE best independent and unsigned hard rock & metal artists from around the world to a largely mainstream metal listening audience. And personally I believe we have been successful in that. Will TAI & DK Promotions continue? HELL YES!!
On that note, here's the featured artists:
