HARD-ONS SHOWS CANCELLED - SYDNEY & NEWCASTLE STILL TO GO AHEAD AS FUNDRAISER FOR BLACKIE, AFTER ATTACK

It's with great regret that the Hard-Ons have been forced to cancel the remaining dates on their current national tour, except for Sydney and Newcastle. Vocalist and guitarist Blackie was physically assaulted last Thursday 17th May and suffered a fractured skull and bruising on the brain, which will see the Hard-Ons frontman out of action for at least six weeks.

Hard-Ons WILL go ahead and play a set at the Annandale Hotel (Friday 1st June) and Great Northern, Newcastle (Saturday 2nd June). This time however, the line-up will be Murray Ruse (Drums), Pete Kostic (Drums), Ray Ahn (Bass), Keish de Silva (lead guitar, vocals).

It will be a one-off Hard-ons line-up that will donate all door-takings to Blackie in order to get him through the period of time that he will be unable to work.

Reef to cancel Australian Tour

Due to a bereavement in the REEF family, it is with great regret that the UK band are cancelling their Australian tour which was set to start on June 1.

There are no plans to reschedule at this point so fans will be able to get a full refund at their point of purchase.

The band would like to extend their apologies to anyone who has purchased a ticket and to thank Select Touring for their understanding at this time.

Gyroscope to postpone THE BENEFIT FOR DANA VULIN

Just a few weeks ago GYROSCOPE announced their first hometown show for 2012. Now, with great regret the band must postpone THE BENEFIT FOR DANA VULIN due to guitarist Zoran Trivic’s involvement in a motorcycle accident.

ZORAN TRIVIC was struck by a vehicle when riding his motorcycle in Perth last Monday and has sustained two badly broken legs. Although he is expected to make a full and complete recovery, the next three to four months will see Trivic undergoing several operations and undertaking full-time rehabilitation in order to get back on his feet.

GYROSCOPE are determined to make THE BENEFIT FOR DANA one memorable night, so have postponed it back to SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 22. The show will remain at THE ROSEMOUNT HOTEL and excellent local supports THE SCOTCH OF ST.JAMES and BOSTON & CHEVY have kindly agreed to reschedule also.

Tickets already purchased for the benefit will be valid for the new date. Any punters who wish to seek a refund can do so by contacting www.oztix.com.au / 1300 762 545.

SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 22
