Emerging from lockdown and ready to rock, The Angels have put something special together for their fans, and it doesn’t get any bigger or better than this – an unbelievable greatest hits show, “The Greatest Show On Earth” presented by Mr Damage.
Kicking off in Melbourne initially, with two shows at The Palms at Crown on June 18 and 19, the band is thrilled to confirm a setlist of wall-to-wall hits including ‘Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again’, ‘No Secrets’, ‘Take A Long Line’, ‘Shadow Boxer’, ‘Marseilles’, ‘Comin’ Down’, ‘After The Rain’, ‘Face The Day’, ‘Fashion and Fame’, ‘Let The Night Roll On’, ‘We Gotta Get Out Of This Place’, ‘Mr Damage’ and many more.
As the book The 100 Best Australian Albums points out, “The Angels can lay claim to being Australia’s longest-lasting band.” They have been on the road consistently since 1974 and it took a global pandemic to slow them down. Now the band is itching to get back on stage and they’re not mucking around!
This is the start of a huge year for The Angels as they celebrate some major anniversaries in 2021. It’s 45 years since the release of their debut single ‘Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again’, a song that’s now an indelible part of the Australian culture.
This tour also marks the 10th anniversary of Dave Gleeson joining the band, a position he treats with great reverence. “I’m definitely respectful of the fact that I’m not the creator of the Angels’ sound,” Dave says. “And I’m mindful of bringing that energy that Doc brought to the band. But it’s a real treat for me to be up there blasting out songs that I’ve loved since I was a kid.”
Acknowledging their disappointment at the cancellation of Bluesfest recently, Rick Brewster notes, “We were devastated. We all know it’s been a very tough 12 months for the music industry and every music fan. Our relationship with the audience means everything to us and it’s fantastic to have the opportunity to play more shows and reconnect again”.“It’s time to get back out there and do what we love doing,” adds John Brewster. “It’s time to rock.”
Let The Night Roll On!
