L.A. Punk Legends Fear Announce Extra Show and Supports for Australian Tour
L.A. punk legends FEAR, who are touring Australia for the first time in June & July, have today announced a second Melbourne show - at the Tote on Thursday July 2, on the back of a SOLD OUT first Tote show - as well as the local supports for all their shows. See below for details. And bear in mind that Sydney will sell out soon!
For the first time ever, American hardcore punk pioneers FEAR are heading to Australia this June and July, bringing nearly five decades of volume, controversy and pure attitude to stages across the country.
Formed in Los Angeles in 1978, FEAR didn't just help shape hardcore punk - they defined its confrontational spirit. In 1981, the band made history as the first punk act to appear on national television in North America with their infamous Halloween performance on Saturday Night Live, courtesy of John Belushi. The chaotic set left the studio in shambles, landed the band on a permanent ban list, and was later ranked the #1 musical performance in the show's history by Rolling Stone.
Their landmark debut album has sold over 500,000 copies and is widely regarded as one of the ten greatest punk records of all time.
Fear's 1981 performance in the iconic Penelope Spheeris documentary The Decline of the Western Civilization is also legendary, and frontman Lee Ving has also carved out an acclaimed acting career, with appearances in Flashdance, Clue, Streets of Fire and more than 30 other film and television productions. Ving is also a key member of Sound City Players, appearing in the 2013 documentary and accompanying soundtrack project led by Dave Grohl.
With Ving and original drummer Spit Stix still on board, the group also features former AFl and Tiger Army bassist Geoff Kresge, and Eric Razo of The Henchmen on guitar.
The band recorded a remarkable version of Rose Tattoo's "Nice Boys Don't Play Rock'n'Roll" - which special guests Slash and Duff from Guns N' Roses - on their 2023 comeback album For Right And Order.
After four and a half decades of influence, chaos and cultural impact, Australian audiences will finally experience FEAR live for the very first time.
