  • respect the rock tourIt’s a Scandi Rock fever dream: The Hellacopters are joining forces with their brothers-in-rock Gluecifier for a March 2017 Australian tour ,

    The ‘Copters have been here before but it’s a Down Under debut for Gluecifer, touring on the back of their latest album “Same Drug New High”.

    Hellacopters were one of the driving forces of the New Garage Rock scene in the 1990s, forming in ’94 out of the ashes of death metal band Entombed and an on-hiatus Backyard Babies. After releasing such influential albums like “Supershitty To The Max”, “Payin' The Dues” and “Grande Rock”, they disbanded in 2007 and reformed nine years later.

    They released their ninth album, “Overdriver”, in 2025.

    Norway-raised Gluecifier also formed in ‘94 and released chart topping records like “Rock like Ridin' The Tiger”, “Tender Is The Savage” and “Basement Apes” before grinding to a halt in 2005, re-animating just two years later.

    The Oz tour will take in medium-sized rooms and will sell out. Early bird tifckets are on sale from Thursday here.
