But what I can't do is say we're gonna do this, this, and that… I've done it before and it didn't happen, so I won't… I'm glad Joe has he wants to do something like that, because I think we all wanna set some time out to do that, and we're hoping that we can play in North America. He continued: "Would I like to play some shows with Joe, Derek and Jason? Of course I would. So my priority is playing my own music with my own band and doing what I need to do to have fun on my own." What I want you to know, and I want everybody to know, that, of course, we want to play with BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNITY, but Joe's schedule is crazy busy, and we all get it. And Joe has been very busy from the get-go of his career. And I can't wait for you to hear it."Īs for BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION's touring plans, Glenn said: "If you go back 10 years when I wanted to… well, we all wanted to play more shows. And we had a great time at Sunset Sound in Hollywood. It's a really, really great vibe in the band. The vibe in the camp has never been so friendly and fun. We followed a vibe of the first four albums, so it it's an extension, but it's really a progression, if you can call it a progression. There's not too many left turns, there's nothing happening that's weirdly different. Killer 100% real live kick ass rock! Loved these guys since day 1."ĭuring an appearance on an August 2023 episode of SiriusXM's "Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk", Hughes stated about the musical direction of the new BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION material: "It sounds like BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION. Trunk added in his post: "Had a chance to listen to them play today live and have heard the album. The timetable for the arrival of BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION's first LP in seven years was revealed by SiriusXM's Eddie Trunk, who shared on social media that he spent "some time" Friday afternoon (January 26) in Los Angeles filming an interview to promote the album. Honestly, we're running out of steam here and there are so many more bands to cover.BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION, the supergroup featuring legendary vocalist/bassist Glenn Hughes ( DEEP PURPLE, BLACK SABBATH) guitarist Joe Bonamassa, drummer Jason Bonham ( LED ZEPPELIN) and keyboardist Derek Sherinian ( DREAM THEATER, ALICE COOPER, BILLY IDOL),will release its long-awaited fifth album in June. It'll be their first time in Australia since Gill's passing.Īlice Cooper is a lot of things: a golfer, a restauranteur, a radio DJ… he's also the god of shock rock and that's the capacity in which he returns to his beloved Australia to perform this year. We sadly lost guitarist Andy Gill in 2020, his big shoes are being filled by Slint/Tortoise/Zwan guitarist David Pajo. Their 1979 debut Entertainment! is one of the most influential records of all time, and you can still hear its influence in countless bands today. Speaking of British post-punk royalty, Gang Of Four fit that bill perfectly. The Butler brothers are among the most important figures in British post-punk and they'll undoubtedly be a highlight of Pandemonium. These guys were a big part of the blueprint for alternative rock that was to come, and their songs like 'Love My Way', 'Pretty In Pink' and 'The Ghost In You' are nothing short of anthems. The Psychedelic Furs were only recently in Australia with Icehouse, but we're very happy to welcome them back so soon. This will be the band's first Australian tour since the sad death of drummer DH Peligro. Jello Biafra hasn't been in the band for almost 40 years, but guitarist East Bay Ray and bassist Klaus Fluoride are still onboard and frontman Skip Greer is by far the longest serving frontman of the band. 'Holiday In Cambodia', 'California Uber Alles', 'Nazi Punks Fuck Off', 'Police Truck'… their list of punk rock classics goes on. There are few punk rock bands as formidable as the mighty Dead Kennedys. Recent setlists suggest they've been playing quite a bit of 1972's Machine Head and 1970's Deep Purple In Rock, here's hoping they keep that up for this tour. They practically turned rock'n'roll on its head in the 60s and 70s and, along with fellow Brits Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, showed us that heavy rock was the way of the future. To call these guys heavy metal royalty feels like an understatement. Now, in 2024, they'll return to Australia for the first time in over a decade. What better way to celebrate than with some massive Australian shows?įrontman Ian Gillan, drummer Ian Paice and bassist Roger Glover first joined Deep Purple in the late-1960s. They're still in incredible touch, releasing their excellent eighth album Never Let Me Go in 2022, and this year they will celebrate 30 years as a band. UK rockers Placebo were one of the defining bands of the late-90s and early 2000s with a string of records that really captured both the sound and sentiment of the time.
