New Zealand’s Alien Weaponry have been added to the lineup for Froth & Fury Fest 2023. It’s set to be the trio’s only Australian show this year, and it marks their first appearance in the country since early 2019.
The lineup for the Adelaide festival dropped last week, with Brisbane vets The Butterfly Effect and Californian thrash outfit Suicidal Tendencies leading the announcement. There’ll also be sets from Redhook, Caligula’s Horse, and Sunk Loto. Check out the full lineup below.
Alien Weaponry: ‘Down The Rabbit Hole’
Alien Weaponry’s second album Tangaroa arrived in 2021, the follow-up to acclaimed breakout record Tū which landed in 2018.
“In Māori culture, he is the God or energy of the ocean so that song is about how we’re killing him and how we’re desecrating the oceans,” drummer Henry de Jong told Consequence in 2021 about the title of the second album. “For us, it’s a song about something we grew up around and it’s hard to see all of the negative impacts that human life has had on the ocean in the past decades.
“As far as deciding to name the album Tangaroa, we felt like it was something that encapsulated everything that we do because everything is affected by the ocean. In the video it says ‘Ka Mate Te Moana … Ka Mate Tātou’ which means if the ocean dies, so do we.”
Froth & Fury Fest will take over Pirate Life Brewing in Port Adelaide on Saturday, 18th November. Tickets are on sale now.
