Beasts Of Bourbon Plan Six Shows With Three Different Line Ups

One of Australia's truly great rock bands, Beasts Of Bourbon, have been making a little more noise than usual of late, with dates at the All Tomorrows Parties I'll Be Your Mirror and Byron Bay Bluesfest events as well as a few dates in support of The Stooges already having taken place in 2013.

Now they have announced three shows each in Sydney and Melbourne that will show the band in three of its incarnations; its original line up, the line-up that were a part of the classic LP The Low Road and the current line-up of the band.

The band started in 1983 with James Baker on drums, Spencer P. Jones and Kim Salmon on guitar, Boris Sujdovic on bass and Tex Perkins out the front.

By the time they made The Low Road in 1991, Brian Hooper was on bass and Tony Pola took to the drums with Jones, Salmon and Perkins all on board, while the current line-up has Charlie Owen on guitar duties.

The first show in each city (Thursday 22 August in Sydney, Thursday 29 in Melbourne) will feature the original line up, the second show (Friday 23 and Friday 30) will see The Low Road line up playing, while the final show in each city (Saturday 24 and Saturday 31) is the most currently known incarnation of the group.

Tickets are on sale now.
