After two years of hitting the road and, sweating it out with fans at regional shows around the country, Blood Sweat and Beers – The Concert is heading to the major cities on a national tour.
Angry Anderson (Rose Tattoo) and Mark Evans ( (AC/DC) are among the rock royalty who are teaming up for a gig at the Heathcote Hotel on July 8.
The pair will rock alongside Jim Hilbun (The Angels), Dai Pritchard (Rose Tattoo), Grant Walmsley (Screaming Jets) and Greg Aldridge - collectively known as Blood Sweat and Beers.
Each musician will share the microphone to perform their biggest hits and the soundtrack to many people’s memories.
The show has been described as an assault on the senses and one of the best rock ‘n’ roll outfits currently on the circuit.
Blood Sweat & Beers is an electric four-part show which blisters over 2.5 hours and covers the smash hits from these iconic bands.
Opening the show is Jim Hilbun on vocals/bass, with Marseille, powering through a set of The Angels best-known classics then, Angry hits the stage for an explosive Rose Tattoo set.
After a short break Grant Walmsley on vocals/guitar blasts out all the hits of the Screaming Jets including ‘Better’ written by him and released in 1991.
The show closes with Angry returning to the stage for a pulverising set of AC/DC favourites from the Bon Scott era with Mark Evans on bass.
This concert is the real deal and was inspired by the book written by Murray Engleheart who said it was an honour to write the book and see it come to life in a rock band.
‘‘Firstly writing Blood Sweat and Beers, the everything louder than everything else history of Oz rock,” Engleheart said. “Then having that title adopted by a legendary bunch of blokes for a national tour that will see them blast out some of the greatest rock n roll ever made.
‘‘Scripts don’t come no better than that.’’
The book covers the amazing Alberts’ years and the global juggernaut success of AC/DC.
Rose Tattoo somehow cranked everything up even higher and became the loudest, most threatening band to ever stalk our shores.
Then, of course, there were The Angels, Australia’s number-one live drawcard, who turned venues across the country into jam-packed paramilitary rallies.
The Screaming Jets were one of the last bands to record for Alberts, who then courted The Jets to sign with them, during this unprecedented time in the Australian music scene.
- Blood Sweat and Beers at the Heathcote Hotel on Sunday, July 8 from 4pm.
