STRIKE HARD BOOKINGS CLOSES ITS DOORS

After years of providing quality shows to an ever growing and appreciative audience, Strike Hard Bookings will be closing its doors as of 30th January 2012.

Forming in May 2007, Strike Hard Bookings moved from booking shows at makeshift venues in Wollongong onto an international touring company that has presented some of the world’s best alternative artists to Australian audiences – from Unearth to Shai Hulud, from The Black Dahlia Murder to Cruel Hand, from Emmure to All Shall Perish.

Founder Daniel Misztal, will join the ranks of the Staple Group having accepted a position with Destroy All Lines. He will be the National Booking Agent for the Australia’s leading alternative nightclubs and booking international tours.

Sam, Shane and Chucky will continue with their current projects, both playing in bands and being involved with bookings, design, promotion and sound. Jesse King has decided to take a break from the music industry.

In a statement they said, “We would like to thank all the bands, agents, managers, labels, promoters, tour managers, crew, street team, media and fans that we have all had the pleasure of working with over the years. Strike Hard Bookings could never have achieved what it did without you. We look forward to encountering you all in our future efforts.”

The final Strike Hard shows will take place with Backtrack from New York taking to the road with Iron Mind starting Wednesday and running through till January 29th and the big Strike Hard Fest 2012 in Blacktown this Sunday with Confession, Thy Art Is Murder, Backtrack and many others.
