Tragedy head to the UK this April on tour
There are some stunning ‘tribute’ bands around. You’ve probably heard of Elvana ? The Elvis fronted Nirvana tribute that has taken the UK by storm with their mash ups for classic Elvis and Nirvana tracks ? Well get ready for Tragedy, a band you need to see live !
“Tragedy rocks sweet balls and can do no wrong! They are great fun!” – Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden). Compliments don’t come much better really ?!
Hailing from New York and the inventers of Disco Metal and have produced incredible covers of the likes of You’re the One I Want from Grease, Stayin’ Alive by the Bee Gees, I’m So Excited the classic hit from The Pointer Sisters.
Check out the video for I Will Survive below:
Tragedy’s concept, while subversive and humorous, goes beyond what many have done in satirical music – they celebrate the soul of the original song, even while turning the soundscape on its head. The amps are cranked to eleven, but the emotion is not lost. You discover new meaning in songs that have been a part of your life for as long as you can remember. You laugh and cry. Dance and mosh. And feel newly connected to the disco-metal that was inside you all along.
Tragedy does not lazily rely on the concept or “the joke”. The band delivers deep – blazing musicianship, tantalizing riffs and stunning vocals. (All except for Lance the towelboy. He’s just an idiot !).
Watch the video for I’m So Excited below:
It’s a tour you won’t want to miss, with 11 shows through late March and April 2024 and support from the incredible Ward XVI. 80’s metal – big hair and spandex x with disco….. what more could you want ?!
