Music News - Clash of the Titans is back!
17 October 2016 - 0 Comments
It’s
the stuff made of legends - the biggest and bloodiest battle of the bands in
the southern hemisphere. It is Clash
of the Titans. And it’s back!
Now in its third year, Clash
of the Titans has rightfully gouged out a reputation as being
one of the most epic tours in the summer music calendar. And in 2017, three of
the biggest names in Australasian music – Dragon, Mi-Sex and The Feelers - will go
head-to-head, thrashing it out in some of New Zealand’s most iconic live
venues.
The eight-date tour, presented by Eccles
Entertainment, kicks off in McEwan Park in Petone, Wellington on Wednesday, December 28 and criss-crosses both islands before ending with a final showdown at Black Barn in Havelock North, Hawke’s Bay on Saturday, January 7.
Dragon, Mi-Sex and The Feelers are forces
to be reckoned with each in their own right. But together, under the same roof
and battling it out back-to-back on the same stage, audiences across the
country can expect a night of absolute rock ‘n’ roll mayhem.
Returning after their last Clash
of the Titans stoush in 2015, The Feelers - led by founding members James Reid and Hamish Gee – are
returning to the ring in 2017. With countless hits (Larger Than Life, Venus, Fishing For Lisa and Pressure Man and more) under their belt and a
reputation as a live act of epic proportions, The Feelers are guaranteed to fight to
the bitter end.

After slaying on last
year’s tour, the mighty Dragon are once again readying themselves to re-join the battle. Todd Hunter remains at
the helm of this legendary band, which is behind some of New Zealand and
Australia’s most memorable anthems, from April Sun in Cuba and Rain to Are
You Old Enough and Still In Love With You, Dragon is a band of survivors and they’ll
be taking no prisoners.

The pioneers of new wave, Mi-Sex, are also returning to prove why they’re still considered one of the most important bands in Australasian music history. Now led by the enigmatic Steve Balbi, and armed with their biggest hits, from Computer Games and Blue Day to People, they’ll also unleash new material from their just-released album, Not From Here. Brace yourself for a full-on sonic assault like only Mi-Sex can deliver.

You have been warned -
start your endurance training now! Clash
of the Titans is not for the faint-hearted. But you are
guaranteed a rip-roaring night of nostalgia and good old-fashioned rock ‘n’
roll this summer.
