THE ANGELS ANNOUNCE "WAITING FOR THE SUN"
TOUR
Mid 2011 saw Rick Brewster's Angels fronted
by Dave Gleeson of The Screaming Jets perform two mind-blowing sell out shows
in Sydney and Adelaide. They showcased the band's new single "Waiting For
The Sun" as well as performing all the classics, leaving fans screaming for
more and excited at the prospect of a new revitalized Angels.
Following
that wave of enthusiasm, what had started out as a bit of fun between Gleeson
and the Brewsters has created a new chapter for The Angels.
"The
crowd was awesome, the Annandale Hotel was packed front to back. I was loving
every minute of it." - Dave Gleeson
"We had one rehearsal
the day before and it felt like we'd been playing together for years. The audience
was as pumped as we were and it just got better and better the more they gave
it back to us. We just finished the EP and there's an album with this band. Can't
wait to play more shows!" - Rick Brewster
With the single
"Waiting For The Sun" having already been played nationally on Triple
M, fans have had a taste of what to expect on the upcoming EP.
In
August, 'Politically Incorrect' launched their comedy CD to media and the entertainment
industry at their HQ's in Crows Nest. The Angels closed the show with 'Am I Ever
Gonna See Your Face Again', 'We Gotta Get Out Of This Place' and 'Take A Long
Line'. In a tough room the band blew the crowd away. Post show there were many
comments on how amazing they sounded with Dave up front.
September
will see the new look Angels head to Japan to play a benefit concert with Jimmy
Barnes to help build a future for the locals whose lives were adversely impacted
by the devastating earthquake and tsunami.
November/December
2011 will see The Angels embark on the "Waiting For The Sun" tour, which
will be their first of many with Dave Gleeson up front. If the shows at The Annandale
and Norwood were any indication, fans new and old are set for an Angels experience
reminiscent of gigs in the early years at the Bondi Lifesaver in 1979.
"I
thought it was quite interesting, it took you back to the grunt they had in the
early 70's and 80's and seemed more focused." Paul Christie - Party Boys
In
launching the tour, The Angels have yet another surprise for their fans, releasing
their first video since 'Caught In The Night" in 1997. Stay tuned and watch
out for the official "Waiting For The Sun" clip coming soon.
