Caloundra: Alternative 80s American rock band Suicidal Tendencies has added a second show to Kings Beach Tavern on November 12 from 7.30pm.
Hailing from the sun-soaked streets of Venice, California, this band was the brainchild of the unstoppable force Mike Muir, who is the younger brother of original member Z-Boy and Dogtown Stakeboard founder Jim Muir.
Picture this: it’s the early 80’s and Muir takes the essence of skating, surfing, and the Dogtown scene and infuses it with a new style of hardcore that forever changed the punk and metal landscape.
Suicidal Tendencies hit the stage with a uniqueness that ignited a wild frenzy among crowds.
Flipped up hats, hand-drawn shirts, and bandanas became their signature and was instantly recognisable and defiant.
They caused such a shitstorm that they were even banned from tearing up stages in their own backyard of L.A!
But nothing stopped them, as they continued to take the world by storm.
Blending punk, metal, and hardcore, they shattered musical boundaries defining it as skate/punk/thrash, and leaving a trail of awe-inspiring chaos in their wake.
With their aggressive sound and unapologetic attitude, they have became favourites among the extreme sports community, pumping adrenaline into the veins of every skateboarder, surfer, and thrill-seeker out there.
While vocalist Mike Muir is the only remaining original member, this two-time Grammy-nominated band still smacks it out of the park.
Despite the band’s name (Google thought we needed help!), this band is frenetic and fun.
If you like some old-school Venice Beach progressive hardcore rock, with some serious finger-work and admittedly, a lot of shouting, this will sell out.
Suicidal Tendencies will be at Kings Beach Tavern, 43 Burgess St, Kings Beach. The added show is on November 12, from 7.30pm Tickets here: Oztix.
