13.12.11 THE EXPLOITED - Australian and New Zealand Tour April 2012
This April, riot starting, bouncer bashing, cop baiting, hotel trashing, foul talking, noise making, chaos causing, venue wrecking, government hating, rule breaking, piss taking, unrelenting, punk rock band THE EXPLOITED bring their politically charged live show to East Coast Australia and Auckland.
The Exploited are not 'punkers' or any of the other cutesy, watered down, TV friendly names you might want to call them. The Exploited are punk rock.
Formed in 1979, the quartet created a simple, no-frills sound characterized by speed and aggression. Led by vocalist Wattie Buchan, The Exploited is one of the UK's most politically outspoken thrash bands, who has built a strong and loyal following both at home and abroad for its anti-authoritarian stance and criticism of the government, particularly in the Reagan/Thatcher era.
Don't miss The Exploited when they tear up Australia and New Zealand in April.

24.11.11 Soundworks Touring Presents ICED EARTH
Two Exclusive Shows April 2012!!!
ICED EARTH tear into Australia for their first ever tour here in April next year!
Formed in 1985 by Jon Schaffer , ICED EARTH have created nine studio albums, many of which are considered masterpieces of metal, cementing the band's reputation for crafting exceptionally well-made music. The centerpiece of all this being Schaffer's trademark rhythm guitar style and powerful, in your face lyrics that often combine themes of self reliance, a healthy distrust of authority, history, and science fiction.
Their latest creation is Dystopia. Perhaps ICED EARTH'S heaviest and most menacing album to date. A blistering 12 song tour-de-force that explores the nightmarish Orwellian world of the future (or is it the present?), Dystopia runs the gamut of poignant ballads, bone-crushing riffs, stratospheric vocals, and chilling lyrics. It is a soul-searing album not for the faint of heart. Featuring bonus tracks, Dystopia will be supported by the most extensive and far reaching world tour in ICED EARTH history and Australia is firmly entrenched on the map for the blazing onslaught!
ICED EARTH with Guests performing at:
Wednesday April 4th – Billboard The Venue, Melbourne
Thursday April 5th – The Hifi, Sydney
TICKETS ON SALE FROM TUESDAY NOVEMBER 29th at the following outlets:
Melbourne – www.moshtix.com / www.ticketek.com.au
