LATE 2004 SAW THE RELEASE OF THE BANDS MUCH ANTICIPATED REMASTERED “VERY BEST OF” COLLECTION. THE ALBUM’S SUCCESS EXCEEDED ALL EXPECTATIONS! GIVING THE BAND IT’S FIRST GOLD ALBUM AWARD FOR IN EXCESS OF 20 YEARS, AND STAYING IN THE ALBUM CHART THROUGHOUT THE HECTIC ’04 CHRISTMAS SEASON. THIS CHART SUCCESS HAS ONCE AGAIN CONFIRMED SHOWADDYWADDY AS PROVEN RECORDING ARTISTS. ON THE BACK OF THIS REKINDLED SUCCESS THE BAND WERE ASKED TO RECORD THEIR FIRST ALBUM OF NEW MATERIAL FOR 15 YEARS! THE ALBUM ENTITLED ‘I LOVE ROCK & ROLL’ WAS A CLASSIC COLLECTION OF 70’S HITS ORIGINALLY RECORDED BY VARIOUS OTHER ARTISTS. THIS TIME AROUND GIVEN THE UNIQUE SHOWADDYWADDY TREATMENT! THE ALBUM WAS RELEASED DURING THE SUMMER OF 2006 ON DMG RECORDS AND RECEIVED NUMEROUS OUTSTANDING REVIEWS AHEAD OF HEALTHY SALES FIGURES.

2008 SAW THE MUCH ANTICIPATED RELEASE OF THE BAND’S BRAND NEW ALBUM & DVD "THE SUN ALBUM". RESEARCHED FROM 9800 SUN TITLES THE BAND HAVE LOVINGLY CREATED WHAT THEY CONSIDER TO BE "THE RECORD WE ALWAYS WANTED TO MAKE!" THE ALBUM WAS RECORDED IN NOVEMBER 2007 AT A REMOTE LOCATION IN WALES, AND COMPLETED AT THE LEGENDARY SUN STUDIO IN MEMPHIS DURING FEBRUARY 2008. THE CD WAS RELEASED IN AUTUMN 08, AND INDUSTRY REACTION HAS BEEN NOTHING SHORT OF AMAZING.

DURING THE SPRING OF 09 THE BAND PERFORMED A SERIES OF UNIQUE CONCERTS ENTITLED "AN EVENING OF ROCK & ROLL WITH SHOWADDYWADDY", THESE GIGS WILL FEATURED AN EXCLUSIVE SET WITH THE BAND PERFORMING SONGS FROM THE SUN SESSIONS, AS WELL
AS A SECOND SET FEATURING THEIR MANY HIT SINGLES. SUCH HAS BEEN THE SUCCESS OF THESE CONCERTS, THE BAND WILL BE EXTENDING TOUR DATES DURING LATE ’09 INTO SPRING 2010.

AFTER 35 INCREDIBLE YEARS ROCK AND ROLL MUSIC IS ALIVE AND KICKING IN THE HANDS OF THE LEGENDARY SHOWADDYWADDY.
