Music News - Return of the Clash of the Titans
15 October 2015 - 0 Comments
Take
a deep breath NZ…
February 2016, three of the biggest bands in Australasian rock & roll
history will join forces in a Clash
of the Titans for a seven date hit & run tour from Auckland
to Invercargill.
Each band in their own right are multi-platinum recording artists with
connections to New Zealand that go way back, with many songs etched in our
memory.
Who could forget Computer Games, April Sun in Cuba or No Secrets, and
that’s just the tip of this procession of big tunes played hard & strong!
To make things even more interesting, the playing order is decided by a toss of
the coin on the night and the sets are kept to the most essential, meaning the
punters will know every song that’s belted out from the stage.
The Clash of the
Titans - The Angels, Dragon & Mi-Sex is unique to New
Zealand and will never be repeated.
The Angels,
who were regular visitors up until the late 90s, toured NZ this year with Billy
Idol, Dragon tore up stages around NZ in last year’s inaugural Clash of the Titans,
and Mi-Sex have only touched down at home briefly.
So, the stage is set - drag out your vinyl, rewind your cassettes and turn up
your CDs 'til your neighbours start to worry, cause the boys are coming back to
town and the houses are going to ROCK.
Not a lot more to say…except you had best plan to buy your tickets fast!

THE ANGELS The Angels became stars in New Zealand off the back of
their 1980 album Dark Room, and in 1981 Citizen Band drummer Brent Eccles
joined the band for a 20 year tenure that included the albums Night Attack, Howling, Liveline and Beyond Salvation. That was
then and this is now. Hear The Angels play beloved hits like No Secrets, We
Gotta Get Out Of This Place, Let The Night Roll On, Dogs Are Talkingand more.
DRAGON Dragon were inducted to the NZ Hall of Fame in 2011
and played their 40th anniversary tour across New Zealand in 2012 playing
theatres and concert halls up and down the country. They've played some
memorable Summer Tours including last year's Clash Of The Titans which also
featured The Exponents and The Feelers. That
tour was a sellout! Dragon are
a tight unit of four talented musicians, led by Todd Hunter with a catalogue of
songs that would be the envy of any band: April Sun in Cuba, Rain, Are You
Old Enough, Still In Love With You and more.
