Cherry Rock Sideshows Announced For Internationals

Unida and Truckfighters have both announced dates around the country.

More Unida Unida

The two mammoth stoner bands who headline this year's Cherry Rock festival have also announced dates in other cities around the country while they are out here.

Unida, the band led by Kyuss vocalist Scott Garcia, have reformed and reports are they are sounding heavier than ever.

They play the following shows while they're in the country:

Wednesday 8 May - Fowlers Live, Adelaide
Thursday 9 May - The Rosemount, Perth (with Sure Fire Midnight, Chainsaw Hookers and DJ Todd Trevor (Warped))
Friday 10 May - The Manning Bar, Sydney (with Truckfighters, Beastwars and Looking Glass)
Saturday 11 May - The Zoo, Brisbane
Sunday 12 May - The Hi-Fi , Melbourne (with Beastwars, My Left Boot)

Sweden's Truckfighters have never toured Australia before and given how much stoner rock devotees rave about their 2005 record Gravity X, you can bet there will be a lot of very keen heads at their upcoming shows.

Truckfighters dates are as follows:

Friday 3 May - Rosemount Hotel, Perth (with The Devil Rides Out and The Sure-Fire Midnights)
Thursday 9 May - Beetle Bar, Brisbane (with Giants of Science and BMX-RAY)
Friday 10 May - Manning Bar, Sydney (with Unida Beastwars and Looking Glass)
Saturday 11 May - Ding Dong Lounge, Melbourne

Both bands play CherryRock on Sunday 5 May.
