Ready for one of THE greatest bands in rock’n’roll history with one of THE most spectacular shows Australia will see this year?

Ready for a stage production called ‘The Spider’, moved by 38 computer controlled winches, featuring 220 automated lights, weighing in at 43,000 kg, incorporating 900 pieces of pyrotechnics and powered by 400,000 watts of sound?


Add in showmanship that continues to thrill audiences around the world, some of the best damn rock anthems in music history and there’s only ONE band we can be talking about....... KISS!


Get your face paint ready Australia because Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer are on their way Down Under in October aspart of their 40th Anniversary world tour. Kicking off at the Perth Arena on Saturday October 3, then to Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, for the first time ever Newcastle and with New Zealand to be announced next week, it’s the news the rabid KISS army fans have been waiting for!

Paul Stanley said: "I've loved Australia since the very first time I visited. It is one of the greatest secrets on earth and probably better to keep it that way.The food, wine and women are all extraordinary and everyone has always welcomed me and made me feel like it is home."

KISS has just completed a Japanese tour, which coincided with the release of a collaboration single with the country’s famous all-girl group MomoiroClover Z. The song “Yumeno Ukiyoni Saitemina” (Samurai Son) – composed by Paul Stanley – hit #1 on the Japanese charts introducing KISS to a whole new generation of fans. The tour ended with a show for 40,000 fans at the Tokyo Dome last week, featuring the Momoiro Clover Z girls joining KISS for theencore.


With countless timeless hits like ‘Rock’n’Roll All Nite’, ‘I Was Made For Loving You’, ‘Detroit Rock City’, ‘Love Gun’, ‘Shout It Out Loud’, ‘Lick It Up’ and‘God Gave Rock’n’Roll To You’, the KISS legacy continues to grow, generation after generation.

A KISS concert is like no other, and with tickets starting from just $98, it’s an extravaganza that everyone needs to experience!


Special guests are The Dead Daisies, a powerful musical collective created by a rotating line-up that features some of the world’s best rock musicians. This tour features Richard Fortus (Guns N' Roses, The Psychedelic Furs), Marco Mendoza (Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake), John Corabi (Mötley Crüe, RATT), Dizzy Reed (Guns N' Roses, Hookers &Blow), David Lowy (MINK, Red Phoenix) and Brian Tichy (Ozzy Osbourne, Billy Idol). The band supported KISS on US dates last year and will also jointhem for the European tour in June. The Dead Daisies are currently recording their second studio album in Australia to be released in June 2015.

KISS remains one of the most influential bands in the history of rock and roll. As one of America's top gold-record champions, KISS has released 44 albums and sold more than 100 million albums worldwide. Decades of record-breaking tours around the globe have included high-profile appearances at Super Bowl XXXIII, the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, the Rockin' The Corps concert dedicated to our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, and specialguest appearance on the 2009 American Idol finale that boasted 30 million viewers and a 2010 Dr. Pepper Super Bowl commercial and advertisingcampaign in support of their Hottest Show On Earth tour. KISS is currently featured in major advertising and marketing campaigns for John Varvatosand Google Play.  In   2014, KISS launched   their   inaugural   Arena   Football   League Season   with   the LA KISS Football team bringing professional football back to Los Angeles.

MOTLEY CRUE & ALICE COOPER - THE FINAL TOUR

2/19/2015

0 Comments

 
Picture
Legendary rock icons MÖTLEY CRÜE have, at last, confirmed dates for the highly anticipated Australian leg of their Final Tour, bringing along shock-rocker ALICE COOPER as very special guest.
 
The Final Tour marks the end of an era for the band. In January 2014, all four original members gathered to sign a binding ‘Cessation Of Touring’ agreement taking effect at the end of 2015 before a press conference in their hometown of Los Angeles and announcing the global two-year Final Tour. A year later, on January 20, 2015 in New York City, the band announced Mötley Crüe’s highly anticipated final live performance of the band to take place at LA's Staples Centre on New Year's Eve 2015.   The 2014 portion of ‘The Final Tour’ was one of last year’s top grossing US tours, selling close to a million tickets across 72 cities and grossing more than $45 million USD.
 
Australian fans had better brace themselves; the mighty Crüe are bringing their full production with them, including the ground breaking Crüecifly drum coaster, fire spitting bass, over the top pyrotechnics, and all the other elements that have made ‘The Final Tour’ such a wildly successful, memorable experience for hundreds of thousands across the world. “My career focus has been on building artist’s careers – it’s kind of perversely cool to be responsible for ending one,” says Michael Coppel, President & CEO, Live Nation Australasia.
 
Bassist, Nikki Sixx says of the band’s visit, “We can’t wait to celebrate 34 years of Mötley Crüe with our Australian fans and come over there one last time.  We always have an amazing time in Australia and we’re not holding back either... we are bringing along our full production including the Crüecifly drum coaster, as well as the pyro and every other bell and whistle.”
 
Ensuring they farewell Australia in epic style, the inimitable Alice Cooper will accompany Mötley Crüe on all Australian dates as very special guest. Once coined the most evil rock singer in the world, Cooper recently suggested Crüe let him kill them on stage, “That finishes everything. Four guillotines, floomp! Done!” he enthused. While his villainous vision may not be realised, an equally evil performance is guaranteed as Cooper unleashes his hard rock classics.
 
Thirty-four years into one of the most tumultuous and staggeringly successful careers in the history of rock music, Mötley Crüe continue to command unwavering allegiance from fans of all ages. The classic line-up of Vince Neil, Tommy Lee, Nikki Sixx and Mick Mars still packs a powerful punch and they’re ready to remind Australian audiences why Mötley Crüe will go down in history as one of the greatest rock bands of all time.
 
Coinciding with the announcement of the final dates and the theme of the Final Tour, the band also released its new single ‘All Bad Things’, which is available for sale digitally here. The single is accompanied by a video clip of highlights spanning the 34-year career of Mötley Crüe which can be found here.

Tickets will go on sale at 11am on Wednesday March 4.

SOUNDWAVE THIRD ANNOUNCEMENT IS HERE AND IT'S HUGE!

12/18/2014

Picture
THE SMASHING PUMPKINS have created one of the most acclaimed bodies of work in musical history having sold more than 30 million albums, and won multiple Grammy Awards in the process. Having recently released the first of 2 new albums (Monuments to an Elegy), fans can anticipate the release of the second album (Day For Night) in 2015, according to singer/guitarist Billy Corgan. In what promises to be an absolutely killer set from THE SMASHING PUMPKINS, Billy Corgan had this to say on joining the Soundwave 2015 line-up:

"The thing about Soundwave that sticks out amongst a lot of other festivals is that when you look at the bill you say, 'that's an exciting show' and I think it's very fan-focused. This is the kind of bill if I was looking as a fan I'd say, 'I wanna see what's going on at this show'." 

STEEL PANTHER was, for a long time, rock’s best-kept secret: a cult legend on the LA scene. But in recent years due to the success of their albums and live shows, the band has enjoyed huge acclaim from fans and peers alike. STEEL PANTHER has been joined on stage by rock and roll icons such as Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, Paul Stanley of KISS, Corey Taylor of Slipknot, Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine, Chester Bennington of Linkin Park and Green Day to name a few (who knows who will join the lads on stage during Soundwave 2015!).

Picture
Billboard's ‘Rock Group of the Decade’, NICKELBACK are powering up to kick off a massive May 2015 Australian tour in support of their eighth full-length studio album, No Fixed Address, unleashed today.

The decibels will rise as Nickelback fire up their trademark unmistakably huge sound, lifting the roof with anthems ‘Someday’, ‘Gotta Be Somebody’, ‘When We Stand Together’, ‘Burn It to the Ground’ and the classic ‘Figured You Out’ - plus new tracks ‘What Are You Waiting For?’ and ‘Edge of A Revolution’ - ringing out alongside all-time-classic

power ballads such as: ‘Far Away’, ‘Lullaby’, ‘Trying Not to Love You’ plus ‘Photograph’, ‘Savin’ Me’ and ‘How You Remind Me’ from the historic All the Right Reasons (the album spent an incredible 112 consecutive weeks in Billboard’s Top 200 selling more than eleven million copies worldwide).

Last week the band announced a 61-date arena tour of North America, adding to the eight million tickets already sold across 12 world tours including sold out shows in Australia during their previous 2012 tour.

"We can't wait to tour Australia. Aside from being one of the most beautiful places on Earth and having such a vibrant, storied and rich musical heritage; simply put, it's the people that make it so special for us. Australians have an insatiable musical appetite and are among the best fans in the world. I've played some of my favorite shows there and always look forward to making it back."

- Mike Kroeger

Tickets will go on sale at 10am Friday November 21.

My Live Nation members can be amongst the first to secure tickets during the pre-sale beginning at 2pm this Tuesday, November 18. For complete tour and ticketing details, visit: www.livenation.com.au

Inescapable and irresistible, Nickelback have cemented themselves as one of the most enduring and commercially successful acts of the past two decades. The band’s worldwide album sales exceed 50 million, solidifying their status

as the second best-selling foreign act of the 21st century in the U.S., behind only The Beatles.

Nickelback’s Australian sales have hit 14-times-platinum and their previous studio release, Here and Now debuted at #1 on the ARIA chart, their fifth consecutive album to hit the Top 5 with singles ‘When We Stand Together’ and ‘Lullaby’ going platinum and gold respectively.

The band has had five more singles hit the ARIA Top 10: ‘How You Remind Me’, ‘Someday’, ‘Photograph’, ‘Far Away’ and ‘Figured You Out’.

TRIVIUM coming back in November with special guests, IN FLAMES

9/13/2014

0 Comments

 
With a swag of awards and sold out stadium tours across the globe left in their wake, TRIVIUM will be returning to Australia this November with very special guests IN FLAMES.

Widely tipped for greatness (some prophecies come true!) after their successful sophomore release, ‘Ascendancy’ in 2005, Kerrang! declared it “the most skull-peeling collection of pulverising metal grooves and fretboard annihilation you'll hear in a long time.” Four studio albums later, TRIVIUM are continuing their climb towards metal greatness with the release of their new album, ‘Vengeance Falls’. “Drawing together crunchy riffs, snarling vitriol, blistering shred-fests and stadium sized choruses it ticks all the boxes.” – Alternative Press

IN FLAMES has proven to be an unstoppable force in heavy music and have proven time and time again that they refuse to stand still. From the first opus in 1994 entitled ”Lunar Strain” to their new album ”Siren Charms”, the Swedish forefathers of Death Metal has risen to great heights in music history. They continue to take risks, push boundaries and challenge themselves and sees them “taking their game several steps forward, leaving both imitators and naysayers far behind.”

It’s rare when two heavyweights of metal tour together…and it’s now Australia’s turn to see TRIVIUM and IN FLAMES performing full headline sets encompassing their entire career.

Tickets on sale Thursday 18 September, 9am local time and with no extra shows planned you have been warned!

CALL THE SHOTS are a 5-piece pop punk band from Brisbane, Australia. The band is known for their infectious, high energy set from the moment they hit the stage. Right from the start the band found success touring the country supporting other Australian bands supporting the likes of Mest, Tonight Alive, Rufio, The Wonder Years, The Story So Far, The Getaway Plan, Short Stack and Australian Vans Warped Tour in 2013. Catch them opening the tour in Brisbane.

WITH CONFIDENCE formed in mid 2012 after the guys met in high school. They released their debut EP "Youth" in July 2013 and it was met with radio play on 2Day FM & Triple J. In support of the EP release, WITH CONFIDENCE headed out on a support tour, which took them around Australia for the first time and landing them multiple international supports. During 2014 the band released their new single, and toured for the first time as a headline act - which resulted in a sold out hometown show. See them open up the show in Sydney.

MASKETTA FALL are a four piece Pop / Rock band from Melbourne, Australia, known for their energetic stage show and vibrant personalities. The band has forged themselves from the ground through tireless touring - amassing ten national tours, numerous festival performances and several showcase events over the past two years alone. See their high-energy performance at the Melbourne 18+ shows only.

DAY BREAK are a young energetic pop-punk band from Adelaide, Australia who came together in early 2013. Fresh off three Sold Out national tours already in 2014 the band continues to perform their brand of pop-punk rock with catchy melodies and powerful choruses. See them live in Adelaide.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A dream pairing if there ever was one…YOU ME AT SIX and TONIGHT ALIVE join forces to tour Australia this September!

YOU ME AT SIX are hailed as leaders of Britain’s new rock by everyone from Radio 1 to Q Magazine and The Times. From their infamous sold out show at London’s Wembley Arena to upcoming appearances at Reading and Leeds Festival, these lads are no stranger to bringing their absolute ‘A’ game to any stage around the globe.

To top off a dizzying past 12 months YOU ME AT SIX have also scored their first ever UK Number One Album debut with their latest record, Cavalier Youth.…”If any group can achieve greater visibility, it's this Surrey fivesome, who have the kind of fist-pumping choruses that made the Foo Fighters superstars.” – The Guardian

“Australia! We cannot wait to come back this September. Our time down under with Paramore earlier on this year was unforgettable. Hope to see as many of you at the shows as possible, and am looking forward to hitting the road with our friends in Tonight Alive.” – YM@6

You can count on one hand current Australian acts that are turning heads and selling out shows wherever they are in the world…TONIGHT ALIVE are one such band.

From the main stage at Festivals (Warped Tour, Reading, Leeds) to club shows, TONIGHT ALIVE awe inspiring rise has to be seen first-hand to be believed. “Whipping the crowd into a frenzy…Jenna has the crowd eating out of the palm of her hand…This is a seriously tight live act; it’s clear why they’ve skyrocketed so fast”. Indulge Sound

Not just content with a killer live show TONIGHT ALIVE’s new album ‘The Other Side’ “is refocused and retooled, culminating in what is unquestionably the quintet’s most arresting material to date”. – Property Of Zak

Never ones to rest for more than a minute, the band have just scored the lead single on the new The Amazing Spider-Man 2 soundtrack. TONIGHT ALIVE are about to enter the stratosphere…they have paid their dues…this is their time. "Coming home to tour in Aus is always long overdue. We've looked forward to announcing these dates with long-time friends You Me At Six for months!" – Jenna McDougall

DEVIN TOWNSEND GUITAR CLINIC AT THE GOV IN OCTOBER

9/2/2014

0 Comments

 
Picture
The eccentric and musical mastermind that is Devin Townsend will be making his way to Australia this October to take part in a series of Guitar Clinics in association with Thump Music.

Devin Townsend, now 30 records into an astonishing career has just raised the stakes, in the form of a new double album, Z, to be released worldwide in the week of October 27th. The two discs will be individually titled 'Sky Blue' (DTP) and 'Dark Matters' (Ziltoid).

Reflecting on the upcoming release Devin states: “I really enjoy my job and I really want to continue being able to be creative. This project offers me an opportunity to present myself in ways that I haven’t before: as a writer, as an orchestrator, as somebody who’s able to provide soundtrack stuff, as a puppeteer, as a multimedia artist, dubious comedy, all these things. I’m hoping that ‘Z’ really provides an outlet for people to see that I’m capable of a lot of things, but even more so, I hope it will inspire other artists to reach for things that maybe seem a bit out of reach.”

In light of wanting to inspire other artists and preceding the highly anticipated release of Z., Devin will head to Australia to offer guitar fanatics from across the country the opportunity to learn from an artist who has built a successful career on musical diversity.

There will be two ticket prices available for those guitarists looking to pick up some essential guitar knowledge straight from Devin himself; general admission and a limited number of VIP packages, which will include exclusives such as a meet and greet plus a guaranteed seat in the first three rows.

The clinics will offer guitar enthusiasts the opportunity to learn the techniques and styles Devin has developed throughout his varied career. Alongside this, there will be plenty of opportunity for fans to ask any questions they have, as each clinic will end with a Q&A session. There will also be the chance to buy Devin Townsend music and merchandise at each clinic (please bring cash as this will be cash sales only).

Thump Music will be hosting these across the country

Monday, October 20 - 7.30pm - Princess Theatre, Brisbane 

Tuesday, October 21 - 7.30pm - Paddington Town Hall, Sydney 
Wednesday October 22 - 7.30pm - St Kilda Town Hall, Melbourne 
Thursday, October 23 - 7.30pm - The Gov, Adelaide
Saturday, October 25 - 12pm - John Inverarity Theatre, Hale School, Perth

Melissa takes the MND Ice Bucket Challenge.

8/22/2014

0 Comments

 
Australia is known around the world for pitching in and lending a hand in times of need and we are one of the most charitable countries in the world. It is because of this that I am LOVING watching the videos of Australians getting buckets of ice cold water poured on them as part of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. 

I had been nominated to do the Ice Bucket Challenge and was chicken at first so decided to get involved with it by making a donation, but I was a little stunned by what I discovered when I looked into it. ALS (known as Lou Gehrig's Disease in the U.S.) is actually called something completely different here in Australia... We've all heard of MND (Motor Neurone Disease) right?

I felt a little ignorant as I had never looked into it enough or seeked awareness to know the lack of difference between the two, but once I learned that they are one in the same, I was even more drawn to the cause as MND actually runs in my family. So, I am taking the Ice Bucket Challenge myself, and we here at LMA are also going to donate $200 to MND Australia. 

I will also take the time now to tell you who I am going to nominate to also do the challenge AND donate any extra cash they have...

MICHELLE HAYNES from FOWLERS LIVE
RYAN WINTER from THE GOV
RODNEY MAGAZINOVIC from MIX.1023
CHRIS MARIC from MARIC MEDIA
JANINE MORCOS from SOUNDWAVE TOURING

You each have 48 hours to complete the MND Ice Bucket Challenge, and nominate three 'victims' of your own... Muahahahahaha!

If anyone else wants to get involved, challenge your friends, make a donation or even just get some info, check out the MND Australia website here.

Thanks for paying attention!

FACTS ABOUT MND

Motor neurone disease (MND) is the name given to a group of diseases in which the nerve cells (neurones) controlling the muscles that enable us to move, speak, breathe and swallow undergo degeneration and die.

Motor function is controlled by the upper motor neurones in the brain that descend to the spinal cord; these neurones activate lower motor neurones.  The lower motor neurones exit the spinal cord and directly activate muscles.  With no nerves to activate them, muscles gradually weaken and waste. MND can affect a person’s ability to walk, speak, swallow and breathe.

MND is a progressive, terminal neurological disease


There is no known cure and no effective treatment for MND 


Each day in Australia two people die from MND 


Each day in Australia two people are diagnosed with MND 


People with MND progressively lose the use of their limbs and ability to speak, swallow and breathe, whilst their mind and senses usually remain intact


Average life expectancy is 27 months 


An estimated 1,900 people have MND in Australia 


For every person diagnosed with MND it is estimated that a further 14 members of their family and their friends will live with the effect of MND forever
