The picture says it all. We've been announced as one of the support acts for British rock legends URIAH HEEP on the Sydney leg of their 2015 Australian tour, playing the Metro Theatre on Friday March 20th 2015.Heep have been a mainstay on the international touring circuit since 1970, and are responsible for millions of album sales, critical acclaim and influencing countless bands in their wake, not least of all us. They've been one of David's favourite bands for as long as he can care to remember and a big element of the keyboard sound and the vocal harmony arrangements of Anubis owes a huge debt to Heep.
Undeterred by the seismic musical shifts of punk, the 1980's, grunge and electronic music, Heep have stuck to what they do best and are still out there, and are still one of the only veteran groups who can match their heyday in terms of providing an energetic and musically precise and demanding set.
By happy coincidence, Hemina are supporting them at Rooty Hill the night before. It'll be a two night party for Dougie.
Tickets for the show are available here
