Get set for a wild ride on the Glam, Sleaze and Hair Metal
rollercoaster as Silverback Touring brings together Swedish
hellraisers CRASHDIET, L.A. Glam legends PRETTY BOY FLOYD and local
Glamsters SISTERS DOLL for a night of utter chaos. "Go big or go
home is a phrase we've all muttered, shouted, or heard multiple
times in our lives. For Swedish hard rockers CRASHDIET, it has been
the motivational catch phrase since they started out back in the
beginning of 2000. As fans who have followed the band know, the band
has gone through a bit of turbulence in their career, with deaths,
line-up changes, and a history of substance abuse that would make some
legendary '80s hard rockers blush. However, the boys have also become
known for picking up the pieces and returning to the fight every time
they get knocked down. Their undeniable mixture of '80s arena rock
with notable elements of punk has made them a significant name in the
revival of the sleaze and glam (or hair metal)
genre. CRASHDIET released their critically acclaimed debut album
Rest in Sleaze in the fall of 2005 through Universal Music, giving
them a springboard to success in their home country of Sweden, which
then spread like wildfire across the globe. In September of 2019 they
released their fifth studio album Rust . Back in the late 80s NYC
guitarist Kristy Majors hooked up with west coast front man Steve
Summers and laid the foundation for their dream band. They worked,
wrote songs and played and played and played. The band chose the
name PRETTY BOY FLOYD because it seemed to describe them; 4 tough
teens armed with guitar licks and teenage angst who set out to conquer
the world. The group signed to MCA records and released Leather Boyz
with Electric Toyz , an album whose very name was a tongue-in-cheek
tip of the hat to their glamorous heroes Sweet, Kiss and The New
York Dolls all the bands who believed that rock music wasnt just
music. The Howard Benson-produced album made a significant impact,
being named one of the hottest albums of its genre by Metal
Edge and Spin magazines. PRETTY BOY FLOYD also landed on the
cover of the then metal bible Kerrang! Two Top 20 videos I Wanna Be
With You and Rock and Roll is Gonna Set the Night on Fire hit MTV
when it was the hot place to be. The band toured the world and was
recognized as the kings of the Sunset Strip, breaking attendance
records held by Van Halen and Warrant. Their album would go on to
sell 750,000 copies worldwide. Its now 2020 and PRETTY BOY FLOYD are
still flying the glam flag higher than ever. PRETTY BOY FLOYD will
be performing their infamous debut album in full as they return to
Australia for the first time in over a decade. Rounding out the bill
are Melbourne glam rockers, SISTERS DOLL, who have developed a solid
reputation for their explosive live show, showmanship and enjoy one of
this countrys most fierce and loyal followings.
