Show Details: RICHIE SPICE FOR TICKETING GO TOwww.bigtunesmusic.com.auOR CONTACT touring@bigtunesmusic.com.auHailing from a musical family that includes his older brother Pliers (from the deejay/singer duo Chaka Demus and Pliers of "Murder She Wrote" fame), singer Spanner Banner and deejay Snatcher Dogg, and armed with just a microphone, one-drop rhythms and purifying lyrical flames, singer Richie Spice is the Gideon of contemporary reggae. The publicly declared "prince of fire" chanting culturally uplifting, spiritually fortified words to defeat the negative content that informs much of popular Jamaican music has been a revelation to all music fans. Currently, one of reggae's most in demand talents and the recipient of numerous awards and accolades. He received the Most Cultural Artist Award at the 13th annual South Florida Reggae Soca Awards in 2005; voted the Male Singer/Singjay of the Year at Jamaica's IRIE FM Awards in 2007 and following his performance at the first annual "Black My Story" concert held in Kingston on Feb. 2, 2008 Spice was honored for his positive musical contributions. His 2004 album "Spice in Your Life" was listed among the year's best reggae releases by the New York Times; "In the Streets To Africa", released in 2007, reached number 6 on the Billboard Reggae chart and one of the album's biggest hits "Youth Dem Cold" peaked at number 59 on the Billboard Top 100 Singles Chart and ranked at number 29 on Vibe Magazine’s Best 44 songs of 2007. Ever since universal hit "Youths Are So Cold," propelled Spice into mainstream airplay back in 2006, Billboard Magazine ranking him among the top six performers at Reggae Sunsplash 2006 and a succession of hits that have resided in the upper tiers of the reggae charts, Spice is back again, busy touring countries around the world after the release of his recent album, Gideon Boot (VP), in May 2008. The album peaked at number one on Billboard's Top Reggae Albums, and spurned the culture hit, "The Plane Land," which took Spice all the way to headlining reggae night at Reggae Sumfest last summer in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Now with the release of "Gideon Boot" even greater recognition is assured for Spice's talent, as is the expansion of his international fan base. Fittingly, "Gideon Boot" is the title track of Spice's brilliant fourth album. Recorded over the timeless "Johnny Too Bad" rhythm (taken from The Slickers 1970s hit of the same name, popularized in the film "The Harder They Come") the song details Spice's strategic plan for delivering his musical sermon to an awaiting global audience. Just like the singer's previous albums "Universal", "Spice In Your Life" (The New York Times named it one of the best releases of 2004, Los Angeles Times broadened the accolades, citing it as one of the year’s ten best albums of any musical genre and in Jamaica, The Observer newspaper honored Spice as artist and vocalist of the year) and "In The Streets to Africa", "Gideon Boot" contains inspiring messages specifically aimed at empowering vulnerable youth. Spice confidently juxtaposes his songs of valor with unity themes ("Living In Love", "Getting Harder") and the importance of staying focused ("Make Up Your Mind", "Hang On In There"). Spice's flawless vocals effortlessly scale the high notes then smoothly segue into scatted improvisations as he weaves intricate, evocative melodies throughout this exquisite 15-track set that is certain to carry his name to unchartered territories for Jamaican music. Since 2004, when his apocalyptic single "Earth A Run Red" became the year's most popular reggae song, Richie Spice has performed throughout the world, insuring that cultural roots reggae isn't relegated to a bygone era but continues as a thriving, evolving musical genre.Spice's career has continued to soar as a result of his enthralling live performances and Australia will for the first time have the rare opportunity, of witnessing and celebrating this amazing reggae superstar.

Show Details: Ed Guy, Cynic, Black Majesty Just Say Rock are proud to announce METAL MONTH sponsored by the inaugural Screamfest Festival Australia. Due to overwhelming popular demand and an exceptional response to the recent Screamfest festival announcement, Just Say Rock will be bringing a selection of the finest acts to venues around Australia. In addition to the premier two day event being held in Sydney over New Years' Eve and New Years Day, METAL MONTH will see select bands performing in other capital cities. Starting in Melbourne on Sunday the 3rd of January and finishing up in Perth on the 8th, a variety of the world's most revered metal acts will tour the country. A range of heavy metal genres will be showcased by an exciting array of some of the worlds leading international artists including Cynic, Dark Funeral, Destruction, Edguy, Ensiferum, Rotting Christ, Sonata Arctica and Spawn of Possession. Additional support will come from Australia's finest in Black Majesty, Vanishing Point And Synperium. You asked for it Australia and Just Say Rock have listened – get ready for the greatest summer of Metal this country has ever seen!! METAL MONTH '09!!!EDGUY 1992 sees the formation of the band Edguy which consists of Tobias Sammet (keyboards, vocals, bass), Jens Ludwig (lead guitar), Dirk Sauer (rhythm guitar) and Dominik Storch (drums). The band known as Edguy plays their first gigs.... todayAfter Tobias Sammet successfully releases a new album of his all star project Avantasia in January, Edguy catch up in the rehearsing room to start working on their new studio album. The first ever Avantasia festival tour is followed by another North American Edguy tour prior to the album release of the new Edguy album "Tinnitus Sanctus" on November 14th 2008. CYNIC How do you follow a timeless classic?' writes Dom Lawson from magazine Metal Hammer, referring to Cynic's debut album "Focus" from 1993. 'Wait 15 years and make another one! "Traced In Air" is a sublime, otherworldly monument to artistry, inspiration and music itself.' Cynic is back! Fifteen years after the band's seminal debut "Focus", the band returns with what can be termed a perfectly timed follow-up: The new album is "Traced in Air" and defies easy categorization, pushing the boundaries once again of the progressive metal genre. Even proponents of the band's previous output were somewhat shocked upon initial listenings to "Focus" in early 1993. Nobody could possibly have predicted the incredible strides the band would make in a year's time. Their musical merits had already been well- documented by this time, not only in the earlier CYNIC material which showcased their instrumental prowess, but also within their contributions to other projects. It was particularly on the breakthrough fourth album from Death - "Human" - when the greater world learned of Reinert and Masvidal in particular, as their participation allowed late bandleader Chuck Schuldiner to realize a new technical benchmark in extreme music, something that only helped to fuel the demand for a full-length CYNIC album. BLACK MAJESTY Australian melodic power metal band Black Majesty return with their eagerly anticipated third album 'Tomorrowland'. Following the paths laid out by them by Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Helloween, Black Majesty have continued to build on their own brand of Australian melodic power metal. The bands first two album's Sands of Time (2003) and Silent Company (2005) launched the band in a big way with Black Majesty being one of the best sellers for their German label Limb Music Products. Black Majesty caught the eye of many over the past few years having being hand picked by DragonForce to support them on their Australian wide 2006 tour whilst also picking up supports with Edguy and Hammerfall.

METAL MONTH '09!!!DARK FUNERALSweden's Dark Funeral is without doubt one of the most notorious and highly regarded of the Black Metal genre. They epitomise the dark essence that is and always will be at the true heart of the European scene. The band is currently busy writing material for a new studio album before heading our way in December...ROTTING CHRIST Legendary Greek entity ROTTING CHRIST are a true certainty in terms of delivering abstract, yet fundamental album releases ever since their early foundation in 1989. Experimenting and stylistically metamorphosing throughout different, yet always obscure layers of elements from varying styles of heavier music has truly driven ROTTING CHRIST to achieve a very distinct sound, giving the band a very special position within the realm of the black metal scene.

You asked for it Australia and Just Say Rock have listened – get ready for the greatest summer of Metal this country has ever seen!! METAL MONTH '09!!!DESTRUCTION25 years of DESTRUCTION. That means 25 years of classic German thrash metal. 25 years of intelligent lyrics beyond all clichés. 25 years on the road playing for enthusiastic audiences all around the globe. 25 years in the premier division of extreme music. This anniversary calls for a very special present, which DESTRUCTION delivers to their fans and to themselves in the shape of their tenth studio album: "D.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N." SPAWN OF POSSESSIONSpawn of Possession rose from the ashes of various constellations in Feb. '97. The whole idea of the band was to create brutal and intense music that went beyond many of the common styles of death metal that had been done before. After touring alongside acts such as Cannibal Corpse, Hypocrisy, Kataklysm, Exhumed, Vomitory and Carpathian Forest, Spawn Of Possession are heading to our shores with their unique brand. SYNPERIUMSynperium, four youngsters from New South Wales’ Southern Highlands possess a very big "progressive technical death metal sound". Their current EP, Transfiguration, embodies the Synperium formula: a cleverly crafted blend of anger and relentlessness, speed and rhythm, progression, technicality and a hint of groove. The band scored the national support slot for Children Of Bodom in 2008 where they performed in front of large audiences in large venues. All reports back from punters were very favourable. The band then landed the main support slot in Sydney for Cradle Of Filth in 2009 once again to exceptional support and a great crowd response. Looking forward to their first full length release, to come out later in 2009, this young band from the highlands of NSW are hungry, keen, motivated and ready to take the next step in their musical careers. Conditions and Fees Admission 18+ only. ID required for entry.*SPEACIAL*After show passes available only from BillboardOnline and Just Say Rock

Show Details: BIG BAD VOODOO DADDY Tickets On Sale Now LA’S MASTERS OF SWING RETURN TO AUSTRALIA It's only been 9 months since Big Bad Voodoo Daddy played Australia for the first time and Select Touring are proud to announce they are coming back. The previous tour was such a success the band have decided to come back to Australian shores for another east coast tour, with shows in Brisbane & Melbourne. BIG BAD VOODOO DADDY’s eighth studio album, HOW BIG CAN YOU GET? A Tribute to Cab Calloway, captures the essence of an American icon in a rowdy celebration of musicianship, mischief, genius, street smarts, and fun. It’s also possibly the timeliest and most welcome album of the year -- bringing a much-needed high-voltage jolt of winning, feel-good energy to a country slogging through tough times that may be getting tougher. The band’s career milestones have included appearances in the Super Bowl half-time show, writing theme music for ESPN and network television, and performing for three American presidents. They have appeared numerous times on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Late Night with Conan O’Brian and Live with Regis & Kelly, and wrote, performed and recorded the current theme song for the Carson Daly show after appearing multiple times as the show’s house band. Since their arrival on the music scene in 1993 in a legendary residency at Los Angeles’ Brown Derby nightclub, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s irresistible live show and aggressive, musically perceptive approach has proven them over time to be the singular standout among the numerous bands that launched the Nineties swing revival. With the same line-up for Sixteen years t he seven-man group forged a massively successful fusion of classic American sounds from jazz, swing, Dixieland and big-band music, building their own songbook of original dance tunes, and now, BBVD is a veteran force that to this day adds new fans by the roomful every time they play.
