This will be a show to remember. Two of the most talked about bands of the past 12 months join forces for a night of seriously compelling indie pop.
Combustible Brooklyn-via-Florida outfit THE DRUMS have packed a lot into their two years: two excellent, mostly self-recorded albums and an EP, line-up changes, internal strife, a couple of world tours. Now a five-piece, The Drums deftly sidestepped the sophomore slump this year with Portamento, an intimate and largely autobiographical LP full of the band’s trademark mix of gorgeous melodies, spry instrumentation and singer Jonathon Pierce’s musings on heartbreak, redemption, loss and love.
"In the place of anthems are carefully constructed gems" - Pitchfork
"Their debut album is so assured and classy and full of pop craft..." - The Quietus
"The Drums are young, desperate and wholly unsatisfied, and it makes for a thrilling listen" - The Music Network
"The Drums have proved that ther's still a hurricane of heartsore life in guitar pop"
- NME
Joining The Drums will be young NYC-by-way-of-San Diego pop duo CULTS, who burst onto the scene early last year with the irresistible 'Go Outside', a short, sharp burst of hazy bedroom pop steeped in classic girl-group harmonies and Spector-esque production. Little was known about the twosome of Brian Oblivion and Madeline Follin, whose almost ungoogleable name and refusal to give interviews befitted their creepy moniker. A couple of months ago, the band decisively stepped out of the shadows, silencing the doubters with their great self-titled LP, a winsome and succinct half-hour set shot through with darker undercurrents that amply delivers on the band's early promise.
"Cults transcend both their blog hit wonder and the timeworn sound they lovingly homage" - BBC
"Cults are excellent songcrafters... but what sets their music apart is feeling" - Rolling Stone.
Tickets on sale at the door on the night $60 from 8.00pm

After a gruelling touring schedule since the release of their seventh and stunning album CODES AND KEYS, Death Cab For Cutie finally set their sights on Australia for live shows in February 2012.
The band last toured Australia in 2009, selling shows out well in advance, promoting their Grammy award nominated sixth album NARROW STAIRS and have surpassed all expectations on this new record with it’s sonic exploration and lyrical ambition.
Death Cab for Cutie are one of the few bands who have been able to ignore the perils of fashion and popularity and stay completely focussed on writing great music on their own terms.
Each album has shown progression and movement from the last but has been able to retain fierce loyalty and respect from fans who totally understand that they are the go-to band for powerful, melodic, complex and emotive indie pop/rock that is always sophisticated and so effortlessly cool.
Death Cab For Cutie are Ben Gibbard, Chris Walla, Nick Harmer and Jason McGerr.
LA TIMES The band's musical ambitions have grown right alongside their audience. The songs from Codes and Keys were their most experimental while staying effortlessly melodic.
The ‘KEYS AND CODES REMIX EP’ features seven new remixed tracks from the band’s critically acclaimed new album, “CODES AND KEYS”, which debuted at #6 on the ARIA chart in Australia. Death Cab For Cutie have been revealing one new remix each week through the bands official website and SoundCloud page and have already announced remixes by Cut Copy, The 2 Bears as well as Yeasayer, with more to come in the lead up to the November 25 release.

Presented by Soundwave.
From a suburban Los Angeles garage to becoming a worldwide institution of rebellion, few bands boast a history like BAD RELIGION. 30 years on, the worlds still a mess and BAD RELIGION'S fiery songs are more relevant and necessary than ever.
On their 15th studio album 'The Dissent Of Man' BAD RELIGION pushes the boundaries of music as much today as they did in their formative years as a genre defining punk rock band with absolutepunk proclaiming 'The Dissent Of Man' "The best album they've written in well over a decade, compelling, charming and whipsmart storytelling."
STRUNG OUT have firmly cemented themselves as punk rock legends, an influential career spanning more than 20 years spawning countless imitators but none have been able to emulate STRUNG OUT's scorching blend of aggressive riffs and captivating melodies.
STREET DOGS are a band that adamantly and unapologetically has things to say. Rather than serving as the closing orations for a punk rock band they serve to put the world on notice that everything up until this point has been little but prologue, and that the story of the STREET DOGS begins now. Inspired by the ferocity of their audiences and a desire to make rabble-rousing, in-your-face punk records punkmusic.com declares STREET DOGS "ooze sincerity, singing from the heart with a fierce energy that needs to be heard and felt."
With the seal of approval from punk rock royalty, Brett Gurewitz, it is little wonder that THE MENZINGERS were invited to play with his band, Bad Religion. Gurewitz proclaims: "These guys play the kind of pure punk rock that I grew up with". The Philadelphia’s punk rockers' blistering and dynamic live performances has seen them amass an arsenal of accolades, a contract with influential label Epitaph Records and a brand new album due out early 2012.
Tickets on sale Thurs. 22nd Dec. from Ticketek.com.au, ph 132849 & outlets for $59.60 + cc charges.

Presented by Soundwave Touring
Four years since the epic success of "The Blackening", the MACHINE HEAD studio album "Unto The Locust" was released in June this year. It is simply their most innovative and ambitious offering to date displaying punishing brutality with Metal Hammer declaring "the album is a storm of complex arrangements and riffs, compiled by musicians who have gained absolute command of their vision. It's breathtaking work."
MACHINE HEAD will be playing two headline sidewaves in Melbourne & Sydney with a brutal lineup featuring some of metals finest.
Adding to this bill of metal titans is Massachusetts finest, SHADOWS FALL. Combining honest integrity and violent brutality into one frightening package, they continue to push the boundaries with their mix of bone-splintering aggression and melodic nuance.
TIMES OF GRACE sees original Killswitch Engage front man Jesse leech team of up with current guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz. Their debut offering 'The Hymn Of A Broken Man' explores the depths of human misery with artful desperation, heavy aggression and gorgeous melody. TIMES OF GRACE ignore genre parameters and forge its own beat. With imagery that engages the mind and soul, the pair has created a bold entity for the ages.
CHIMAIRA are proof the old adage what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. This is nowhere more evident than their monstrous new album 'The Age of Hell' a record fraught with adversity and triumph. It showcases CHIMAIRA at their unrelenting and brutal best with Metal Underground declaring it a 'A modern American metal classic'.

ALTER BRIDGE and STEEL PANTHER -- SOLD OUT
**Over 18's only -- ID req**
PLEASE NOTE: THERE ARE NO TICKET COLLECTIONS FROM THE VENUE ON SHOW NIGHT - ALL TICKETS ARE TO BE COLLECTED PRIOR FROM THE TICKETING COMPANY OUTLETS AS PER INFO PROVIDED BY THEM. THE PALACE IS NOT A TICKETING OUTLET. DRESS CODE APPLIES.
Presented by Soundwave Touring.
...Meet Myles Kennedy (Slash's frontman), Mark Tremonti, Brian Marshall and Scott Phillips; the future of rock.
ALTER BRIDGE are fast becoming a rock juggernaut and are on the way to firmly placing themselves in the rock 'n' roll pantheon forever.
With 2 brilliant albums already under their belt ALTER BRIDGE has crafted one of the best rock records of recent time with AB III. In fact, it's a sprawling masterpiece that illuminates just how brilliant this band truly is, and it's going to make believers of the world.
This double bill of debauchery could not be filled by anyone else except STEEL PANTHER.
STEEL PANTHER is the hottest band out of Hollywood since Motley Crue, Guns N’ Roses and Poison ruled the Sunset Strip. They remained rock's best kept secret for decades -- prowling the Sunset Strip with weekly residencies while keeping the sleazy flame of rock 'n' rock alive..."But no longer. The ferocious Steel Panther has been let out of its iron cage and has only one mission: to roar with the tiger-like growl and strut with the sensual prance of glam rock n' roll from the halcyon days of the 1980s." – Metal As Fuck
With their brand new album 'Balls Out' in tow, STEEL PANTHER are "Crude, rude, filthy, and more infectious than a bad case of herpes." – Revolver Mag.
