EVIL EDDIE ‘East Coast’ Tour – February | March 2011 [Tour News]

STONE SOUR + SEVENDUST + 36 CRAZYFISTS – Sidewaves announced!
 |
The continued ascendancy of Stone Sour is a genuine phenomenon. Resounding with more power and passion than ever before, on the new album ‘Audio Secrecy’, Corey Taylor proves he is much more than the snarling masked role he plays in Slipknot. Pitting bone-shattering riffs alongside unforgettable choruses, STONE SOUR “have created the soundtrack to the rest of our lives” – Rock Sound |

HIGH ON FIRE with TRASH TALK and KYLESA – Sidewave announced!
 |
Underground thrash-sludge messiahs HIGH ON FIRE have set a new standard in doom metal.
Boasting apocalyptic riffage and gravel-gargling vocals, their latest opus ‘Snakes for the Devil’ solidifies HIGH ON FIRE as one of the most important bands in metal today, Absolute Punk affirming, “…the band has burned the metal rulebook and forged a new archetype.” Equal parts molten metal and earthquake panic, HIGH ON FIRE’S outrageously loud and absolutely punishing live show is descending upon Brisbane and Melbourne this March. |
With stage displays firmly rooted in chaos, an arsenal of releases to back it up, and fervent touring, TRASH TALK has continually astonished loyal fans and newcomers alike. Pushing onward and upward since inception, TRASH TALK has defined, refined, and re-defined themselves as a punk/hardcore juggernaut.
Intelligent and complicated songwriting structures drawing from an array of dizzying musical sources have set KYLESA apart from their sludge-metal peers. Rounded off with an onslaught of psychedelic undercurrents; and jarring, triple-team vocal interaction, KYLESA has truly earned a well-deserved place as the “dark psych-metal titans” (Spin) of the stoner metal community.
HIGH ON FIRE, TRASH TALK and KYLESA will unleash the doom on their Sidewaves this March.

Queens Of The Stone Age – Sidewaves announced!
 |
QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE have been one of the 21st century’s most engaging and ambitious rock groups. Led by Josh Homme, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE have pursued an agenda of moody, sexy, high-energy rock that flaunts its danger and oddness, winning over fans and critics in the process.
Releasing their self-titled debut in 1998, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE boasted a stripped-down approach to hard rock and metal that valued gnarly riffs over head-banging theatrics. In keeping with the band’s desert origins, the songs had a sun-baked, slightly eerie quality to them, and as the album’s sexually suggestive cover indicated, QOTSA had a cocky, libidinous streak to them. |
