They will be performing a full set of MURDERDOLLS songs, taken from the band’s celebrated 2002 debut album, ‘Beyond The Valley Of The Murderdolls’ and their triumphant 2010 return, ‘Women And Children Last’, which won them the Revolver Golden Gods Comeback Of The Year Award.
To open the proceedings for each evening of darkness, a carefully curated selection of Australia’s finest ghoulish rockers has been chosen.
They are:
BRISBANE
Terror Parade, are a raw fusion of rock, metal, and punk with a goth twist. Experience the thunderous impact of arena-sized hooks, the ferocity of metal sonics, and the rebellious attitude of punk. Every performance is a theatrical journey, a vibrant fusion of musical rebellion and visual allure. Front and centre is Zichxyna, whose commanding vocals add a potent layer to this immersive spectacle, ensuring an unforgettable ride through a landscape where sound and sight collide in a thrilling display of artistic expression.
SYDNEY
Department Of Gloom have a musical pedigree and backstory that would take hours to dissect. The sum of their collective parts reads like a short history of Australian rock! Their members coming from bands such as The Candy Harlots, Genitorturers and JERK.
The sounds, riffs and attitudes of the 70ʼs and 80ʼs collide in a wonderful, head-on smash with the 21st Century. A poison pill coated in candy, where analogue meets digital.
MELBOURNE
Death Of Art mix elements of classical music and heavy rock into their industrial tinged dark electronic female-fronted sound to perfection. They are at home perfectly on a playlist full of Rob Zombie, Manson and NIN songs just as much as they would be on The Matrix soundtrack. Speaking of soundtracks, a remix of their song Anti-Valentine was used in every episode in the second season of Foxtel’s Body Piercing and Tattoo show, Punktured.
ADELAIDE
Falter is a one man nu-metal monster from Ngarrindjeri native, Thomas Readett. Commanding your attention with a wall of guitars and emotive vocals that are both vulnerable and cathartic, Falter live is a captivating experience as evidenced by his recent appearance at Nu Metal Mayhem featuring Mushroomhead and original Slipknot vocalist, Anders Colsefni.
PERTH
The Murderbirds’ melting pot of sonics results in an infectious outcome. Their high octane live show is brimming with psychobilly, pop-punk, ska-punk, country and surf-guitar flavours, mixed with horror film samples to create something foot tappingly catchy but eerily sinister at the same time.
Wednesday 13 and his band of unholy cohorts are primed and ready to deliver a set full of face melting classics to all the teenage zombies like it’s 197666.
Melbourne’s show at Max Watts has SOLD OUT and limited tickets remain for Brisbane and Perth. So dust off your Gothic Sunday Best, dye your hair black, grab your blood stained valentine and come dressed to depress.
