ROSE TATTOO, HITMEN DTK, MI-SEX, DIESEL & DAVE WILSON BAND ON SELECT SHOWS<\/p>\n
Legendary Aussie rock band The Angels have covered a lot of ground in their career and now they\u2019re heading out on the road to showcase the best bits of it! Celebrating their most recent album release \u2013 Brothers Angels & Demons \u2013 a collection of their greatest works, the band are getting ready to do what they do best, pack out rooms and play some awesome, loud and unforgettable rock! In what marks almost five decades of rock, the band celebrated with a tell-all biography, penned by industry alumnae Bob Yates, The Angels, giving an insight into the behind-the-scenes happening of the iconic band. And what a five decades it has been \u2013 The Angels are still rockin\u2019 harder than ever.<\/p>\n
The Brothers, Angels & Demons tour will complement the recently released double album \u2013 showcasing audience favourites and some rarities. \u201cThe Angels has always been about playing our music live,\u201d says John Brewster. \u201cThis show will encompass some aspects that aren\u2019t always a part of the show, like Rick [Brewster] playing some keyboards, some acoustic performances and the odd special guest. These shows will knock the fans out.\u201d<\/p>\n
One of the exciting things about the upcoming tour is that it features hand-picked special guests for each show \u2013 bands who have been a special part of The Angels\u2019 story over the years. The tour includes guest performances on select shows by Diesel, Rose Tattoo, MI-SEX and Hitmen DTK, as well as the Dave Wilson Band. \u201cWe have reached a moment in time when we are celebrating the whole journey,\u201d says John. \u201cThese bands are part of that journey. It just seems right to include them in our, and the fans\u2019, celebration.\u201d<\/p>\n
This is just the start, with 2018 already shaping up for a big one as well. It will mark 40 years since the release of the band\u2019s ground breaking multi-platinum album Face To Face, which will be a massive celebration in itself. Looking back \u2013 and forward \u2013 John says the band is all about the music, and all about the fans. Something that hasn\u2019t really changed in almost five decades and is even more paramount today.<\/p>\n
\u201cPut simply, there are five musicians who want to be there, who are all writing and recording new music for The Angels and who share a passion for the greatest rock experience ever \u2013 a live show,\u201d he says. \u201cRock on! We couldn\u2019t have done it without the fans. The band has always been about doing it in front of people, writing a new song, and testing it on the audience\u2026 you know straight away whether the song works or not. We\u2019re grateful for their part in the whole process. Vive les fans!\u201d<\/p>\n

THE ANGELS JOINED BY SPECIAL GUESTS<\/p>\n
Rose Tattoo have a long history with The Angels. \u201cThey were stable mates at Alberts when we signed in the mid-1970s, along with AC\/DC, Ted Mulry Gang, John Paul Young, Harry Vanda and George Young,\u201d says John. \u201cWe have toured many times in the past with the Tatts and want to do it again. They have monster songs and great attitude.\u201d Another nice link is that long-time friend and former The Angels member Bob Spencer will be playing with the Tatts during the tour.<\/p>\n
Hitmen DTK were a band who were heavily influenced by The Angels. \u201cJohnny Kannis credits The Angels for introducing them to the suburbs at a time when they were an inner-city band,\u201d says John. \u201cThey did many gigs with us around Sydney and are welcome guests.\u201d<\/p>\n
In fact, Hitmen DTK\u2019s Johnny says The Angels kick-started their career in the suburbs. \u201cYou guys introduced us to the beer barns of Australia and to an audience that loved passionate, adrenalin driven rock n roll, an audience we\u2019d never have gotten on our own,\u201d he says. \u201cThrough this first up connection, our big break came when we caught the eye of your producer Mark Opitz who signed on to produce our debut (self-titled) album.\u201d<\/p>\n
No strangers to performing together of late, MI-SEX and The Angels have a special shared history, especially given The Angels book author Bob Yates was former manager for the band. \u201cMI-SEX were signed to CBS back when we joined that stable in 1980,\u201d says John. \u201cThey were on tour with us in the USA at the same time as us, so we have a shared history. Last year we had them as special guests on our Hard Wired tour and they were fantastic.\u201d<\/p>\n
MI-SEX\u2019s Murray Burns remembers the first time the band saw The Angels in the late 1970s at the encouragement of Bob Yates. \u201cThe place was jam-packed and their high-energy performance was a revelation to us,\u201d he says. \u201cMI-SEX had a very different sound to them, but watching that show was a crucial beginning to reshaping the energy of what we were doing on stage.\u201d<\/p>\n
Diesel came onto The Angels radar a bit later \u2013 it was the early 1990s after the launch of his band Johnny Diesel and The Injectors. \u201cThey [the band] were managed by our then drummer Brent Eccles,\u201d says John. \u201cIn later years, Diesel played on the same bill as us at Day On The Green gigs and others. He joined us on stage at the Chris Bailey benefit in Adelaide\u2019s Thebarton Theatre in 2013, a most memorable though sad occasion. He is a good friend\u2026 great to have him with us.\u201d<\/p>\n
The newest inclusion, the Dave Wilson Band, impressed Rick Brewster from the outset. \u201cDave is a fantastic blues-rock guitarist,\u201d he says. \u201cHe and his three-piece band play wild versions of Hendrix-Stevie Ray Vaughan-Clapton etc. I met Dave 18-months ago and have since had many sessions with him. He has opened up doors in guitar playing that I never knew existed. He has become a good friend and also teaches my son Jody. Come early, the Dave Wilson Band is not to be missed.\u201d<\/p>\n
