The Push and Fiasco Productions present.. The Red Shore

After supporting Bring Me The Horizon and Cancer Bats earlier this year, and following the release of their debut album The Lost Versus, The Red Shore bring their shredding brutality to The Evelyn’s stage for two shows, Friday 11 (18+) and Saturday 12 (U18) December, supported by The Push and Fiasco Productions.

The Red Shore has given birth to some of the most iconic songs on the Australian metal and hardcore landscape of late, including Sink or Swim, Pulling Teeth and Misery Hymm - influencing many other younger bands in the process.

Adelaide’s answer to the technical brutality of The Red Shore, Nazarite Vow, will support alongside Sydney’s young all ages hardcore-stars Sienna Skies, Melbourne’s hot new kids I Explode Like and promising core-kids Feed Her To The Sharks. Additionally, the unmistakably groovy tunes of Electrik Dynamite have a spot on the over 18s show, while local FReeZA champions My Own Enemy will cover the unders.

The Push Beat All Ages Column

With Ashan Munesinghe

The amazing Vixia, barely out of school, blew the roof off at the FReeZA Push Start Southern Metropolitan Regional Final at the Brighton Town Hall last weekend. Vixia drew the crowd in and set the night on fire with stunningly ambient renditions of old pop songs. Their costumes - duck-tape and all, were also something to behold!

Astral Flight, first to take the stage, brought an army of support and won the door prize. The Lost Boys, who followed, shook the floor with a blend of hip hop and metal like no other. Isles did the same, but in a more melodic way, while California Rise wooed the punters with piercings, tattoos and heavy rock melodies. The guitarist from Call it Conspiracy had a blast on stage, his band mates soon followed suit, and the place went off. Lost Pacific, who played last, won maximum merit for their friendliness and interactivity, but there could only be one winner. Vixia took first place and will join The Houses, Masketta Fall, The Cactus Channel and five other finalists (to be announced) at the FReeZA Push Start Final at Push Over Festival, March 7 at the Abbotsford Convent. Just announced, the festival, will feature 30 bands for 30 bucks, including 50 Lions, Lovers Grave, Kisschasy, I Explode Like and many more. Hip hop acts, MCs, DJs and breakers are invited to register for battles throughout the day via thepush.com.au. Tickets for Push Over are available now through Moshtix, Oztix and Ticketek.

I Exlope Like will also join California Rise, Summer of Betrayal, My Own Enemy, A Fate Worse Than Death and Beyond Redemption at Pakenham Town Hall on December 18.

My Own Enemy will join Nazarite Vow, Sienna Skies, I Explode Like and Feed Her to The Sharks in supporting The Red Shore as they bring their shredding brutality to The Evelyn’s stage for an under 18’s show December 12, tickets from moshtix.com.au.

After shows in South East Asia and the United States, Parkway Drive are back home with their Sick Summer Tour, hitting Melbourne in February with Confession and Word Up. Confession also play The Evelyn this weekend!
