Fans demanded and it’s finally happening. Teaming up for an epic tour for the first time in years and years, MODELS and Boom Crash Opera are hitting the bandroom.
These legends of the Australian rock, post-punk and new wave scenes present a night of their chart-topping classics as part of their Double A Side Tour. Indie-pop-rockers Boom Crash Opera formed nearly 40 years ago and in that time gave us 13 Top 50 singles and five Top 50 albums. You might know them best for Great Wall, Hands Up In The Air, Onion Skin and Dancing In The Storm.
Models found similar fame, even if their ‘no singles’ policy got in the way of airplay now and then. These ARIA hall-of-famers still enjoy a legendary cult status, recently released two EPs and continue to pay tribute to the memory of departed member, James Freud, who died in 2010.
Join these homegrown alternative superstars for a double bill of hits that rocked Australia.
