Due to overwhelming public demand The Angels are proud to announce they’re hitting the road once again on the ‘Night Attack Tour’.
After selling out the entire run of ‘Face to Face’ anniversary concerts earlier this year, The Angels with support act Hell City Glamours will tour Australia throughout October, November and December.
The Night Attack Tour will include four very special shows with Sydney, Melbourne & Adelaide getting a once in a lifetime chance to witness two of Australia’s legendary bands, The Angels and Rose Tattoo take the stage together. This can only be described as the must see rock event of the year.
It has been an amazing reunion for The Angels in 2008 with rave reviews for their shows and most recently their song ‘No Secrets’ being used in the Bonds television campaign for ‘Shapers’ with Sara Murdoch. To top it off Doc Neeson, Rick Brewster & John Brewster were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame on August 29th to a standing ovation from the industry and fellow songwriters.
On Saturday October 11th, SBS will screen the no holds barred documentary – ‘No Way Get F*##*d, F*#k Off.’ This fly on the wall film gives Angels fans unprecedented behind the scenes access to the band as they were preparing and touring the Face To Face Anniversary concerts.
If this wasn’t enough, Max will be airing MAX Masters: The Angels, towards the end of the year… make sure you tune in to these must see television events.
Tickets go on sale on September the 15th, check with the venues or www.theangels.com.au for more information.
Doc commented, “We had such a good time on the 30th anniversary Face To Face Tour that I am looking forward to meeting our fans again and wondering how many generations of fans will actually be coming along this time. From the point of view of somebody who has been in the band since its conception, it is fascinating and exciting how the band still connects with people and it is just awesome to be on stage being part of that!”
Angry Anderson remarked, “Rose Tattoo and The Angels have a relationship that goes back to our Alberts days when we were stable mates, recording in the same studios with the same producers. This relationship continued thru the 80’s and 90’s with sell out tours together. Value for money - this is as good as it gets in Aussie pub rock!”
Review:
Whilst the boys as are all of us, a bit older, a couple of kilos heavier, with less or greying hair, tonight was not a night of playing for the money, nor being a covers band of themselves. The reunion/ anniversary show was a celebration of a band that can still cut it with a combination of brilliant songs, musicianship and showmanship that in today's fickle music world of image over substance is sorely missed. Welcome back The Angels.
