FEAR (USA) w/ The Owen Guns

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">For the first time ever, American punk pioneers <strong>FEAR</strong> are heading to Australia this June and July, bringing nearly five decades of volume, controversy and pure attitude to stages across the country.</p><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">Formed in Los Angeles in 1978, FEAR didn&rsquo;t just help shape punk rock - 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 <strong>Saturday Night Live,</strong> 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&rsquo;s history by <strong>Rolling Stone</strong>.</p><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">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.</p><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">Frontman <strong>Lee Ving</strong> has also carved out an acclaimed acting career, with appearances in <strong>Flashdance, Clue, Streets of Fire </strong>and more than 30 other film and television productions. Ving is also a key member of <strong>Sound City Players</strong>, appearing in the 2013 documentary and accompanying soundtrack project led by Dave Grohl.</p><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">After 40+ years of influence, chaos and cultural impact, Australian audiences will finally experience FEAR live for the very first time.</p><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"><strong>AUSTRALIAN TOUR DATES</strong></p><p style="text-align: center;">FRI 26 JUNE - Marrickville Bowlo - Sydney</p><p style="text-align: center;">SAT 27 JUNE - Thrashville Festival - Hunter Valley</p><p style="text-align: center;">SUN 28 JUNE - La La Las - Wollongong</p><p style="text-align: center;">FRI 3 JULY - Howler - Melbourne</p><p style="text-align: center;">SAT 4 JULY - Vinnies Dive Bar - Gold Coast</p><p style="text-align: center;">SUN 5 JULY - The Brightside - Brisbane</p>
