VSPY VSPY – 40th Anniversary Tour

THIS SHOW IS SOLD OUT! If you wish to register your interest for a possible extra show, please join the waitlist.

In 1986, VSPY VSPY did something almost no band manages: they released two albums in a single year on different labels and charted with both. Harry’s Reasons arrived on Midnight Oil‘s Powderworks label in February – raw, political and rooted in the inner-city Sydney squat scene which the band called home. A.O. Mod. TV. Vers. featuring the single ‘Don’t Tear It Down’ followed in December on WEA spawning a Gold album award and peaking at #12 nationally. Forty years on those records sound less like nostalgia and more like the six o’clock news we’re watching today.

The band – who once supported The Clash at the Capitol Theatre and U2 at the Sydney Entertainment Centre – are hitting the road this October for five shows across Perth, Adelaide, Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne celebrating the 40th anniversary of both albums with a night that’s as much a conversation as it is a concert. Bloxy has put together a star-studded powerhouse band who’ll be smashing out songs from both albums along with the classic hits the fans know well. Some of these songs haven’t been played in 35 years, so these are going to be very, very special nights indeed.

And for the fans who want to go deeper, a limited upgrade experience is available at each show. Purchase a VIP ticket to sit in on the bands soundcheck and be a fly on the wall for the banter, laughter, (potential) arguments and more! After soundcheck you’ll have an opportunity to hang with the band, ask questions and get any BYO memorabilia (VSPYS, Skyhooks, Angels… anything!) signed from each of the members. Limit to 50 VIP tickets.
