thrashville

The first bands have been announced for Thrashville, the boutique festival  in the lush bushland of Dashville at Lower Belford in the New South Wales Hunter Valley, and heading the bill is veteran American punk band FEAR,
 
Thrashville is on Saturday, June 27. The line-up so far is:

FEAR (USA), Disentomb, The Bennies, Dregg, Hybrid Nightmares, Turtle Skull, Good Sniff, Private Wives, Couch Wizard, Catpiss, Purple Disturbance, Pyrefly, Whisperhead, Shacked, Happy Fuckin Family, Immortal Within and I Hate People.



No word on sideshows by FEAR but stay tuned.
Tickets for Thrashville are on sale here.

Formed in Los Angeles in 1978, FEAR didn’t just help shape punk rock - they defined its confrontational spirit.

The band made history in 1981 as the first punk act to appear on national TV in North America with their infamous Halloween performance on “Saturday Night Live”, courtesy of John Belushi. The chaotic set left the studio in shambles, landed the band on a permanent ban list.

Heavy Hunter Valley music festival Thrashville is back on the New South Wales map at the town of Dashville in Lower Belford on Saturday, June 28. The news flies in the face of a wave of festival cancellations, and organisers are going with 25 bands over four stages. 

Heading the first line up announcement are Melbourne punks Private Function, hard core stalwarts King Parrot, raw and powerfully eclectic MUDRAT, hard mosh beasts Volatile Ways, blistering heavy-hitters Frankenbok, Simpsons themed Dr Colossus and rising folk-punk superstar Slim Krusty.
