Dismember – 15 July 2008

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

DismemberDismember, a death metal band from Sweden, perform at Amplifier on Tuesday 15 July 2008.

Founded 1988 in Stockholm, Sweden, Dismember were among those responsible for Death Metal’s big breakthrough. The Classic Debut album, “Like An Ever Flowing Stream” from 1991, has resulted in their rise to ‘ CULT ‘ status ! After 20 Years of Unrelentless live performances and more classic album releases, Dismember is now back with their most crushing album to date!
The sheer pace and passion of the songs are blistering and the vocal sounds are as pissed off as ever. Powerful riffs that are not in short demand, plenty of lead works and memorable melodic harmonies are what the metal scene needed and Dismember have them in Huge Spades.

Support acts are Grotesque and Gallows For Grace.

Tickets on sale from Moshtix for $39 plus booking fee.

Tiger Army – 16 March 2008

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

Tiger ArmyTiger Army come to Perth after fans petitioned for it! They’ll perform at the Amplifier Bar on Sunday 16 March 2007.

For the devoted who tattoo the lyrics and “TigerBat” logo on their bodies, Tiger Army is more than a band – it’s a way of life. Nick 13’s music channels the frustration, loneliness, despair and triumph of sheer will of a lost generation, buzzing with power and dark romance.

The worldwide psychobilly scene owes an enormous debt to the So Cal trio, whose four albums and relentless touring have infused the genre with the interest of countless new listeners. The latest offering Music From Regions Beyond pushes psychobilly forward musically and otherwise by breaking its “rules,” the way Joy Division, The Smiths or The Cure forged a new “post” punk. As seen on tour with Rancid and Morrissey, Tiger Army’s live show is unmatched and their audience connection similarly unparalleled.

Special guests: Zombie Ghost Train

Tickets on sale from BOCS for $42.25

Fighting for Alaska, Steve Parkin, Matt Handley

Saturday, September 3rd, 2005

Yesterday we went to a Fighting for Alaska gig. They’re an indie-pop group, Pascal knows the bass player.
They were the support for Matt Handley and the Dagger Stares, which we didn’t really like! The other support act, Steve Parkin and the Foreign Films we liked a lot!

They were all playing at the Amplifier Bar, which is behind Club Capitol on Murray St in Perth. It is a very nice venue, and outside courtyard, and then a stage area inside.
