INTOXICA 32ND ANNIVERSARY OF ‘INTOXICA’ (Shock Records) – Encore Performance

After a wildly successful sold-out show at St Kilda’s Memo Music Hall in March, to belatedly celebrate the 30^th anniversary of their debut CD, Intoxica will play an encore performance at the fabulous new Brunswick Ballroom in Sydney Road on Friday 21^st May. The party of the decade is now moving north of the river!! Come and experience a unique blend of psychobilly, surf apocalypse, and relentless rock and roll, presented in a blistering live performance!!
 
 INTOXICA play rock and roll, pure and simple. With Garage, Rockabilly, Surf and Blues in it. Thumping drums and bass, fuzzy and twangy guitars and the distinctive vocal styling and hypnotic presence of Tony Shaw. You can dance to every song except the really fast ones that you can only shake to. This Melbourne live scene mainstay, famous for being the wild night out, is now packing a new generation of fans is into venues.
 

The release of the self-titled vinyl 12” LP in November 1989 was also the first by fledgling label Shock Records of an Australian band ((Shock LP 1). The album was launched, fittingly, at St Kilda’s POW Hotel December 9 1989.
 In 1990 CDs were impacting the market and artists were cramming them with tracks because they could. Intoxica returned to the studio, recorded five more tracks and rereleased the album as a seventeen track CD (Shock CD 001).
 The album contains the band’s first (still vinyl) single ‘Brandivino Party’ and songs that are still crowd favorites to this day: ‘Funnel Of Love’, ‘Boss Hoss’ and of course ‘Intoxica’!
 Intoxica will perform all seventeen tracks at what is sure to be an historic and heroic performance at the Brunswick Ballroom!
