Bombshell Presents: Lagwagon & The Smith Street Band
on August 17th, 2012Lagwagon, the first band ever signed to Fat Wreck Chords and the definitive act on the label, were pioneers in creating the now-famous ‘Fat Wreck sound’ with their speedy drums, guitar virtuosity and undeniable melodies. They’ve influenced hundreds of thousands of kids, been around the world more times than Ferdinand Magellan and twisted and redefined themselves over the course of a career that spans almost twenty-five years. With 141 songs being polished up and set loose on the world, expect some real dusties alongside all your favorites as they return to Australia this November / December to play the classics! They’re visiting Brisbane, Gold Coast, Newcastle, Sydney, Wollongong, Bunbury, Perth, Adelaide, Geelong and Melbourne where they’ll be joined by local favourites The Smith Street Band who will be fresh off a stint of overseas touring in support of their new album ‘Sunshine & Technology‘. Tickets are on sale next Friday 24th August. Expand this post for the dates. Lagwagon recently re-issued their first 5 albums as deluxe editions with shitloads of bonus content, as well as a box set containing all the re-issues and more. You can scope those out [Here].
