Slade To Perform At The Liverpool o2 Academy As Part Of December 2018 U.K. Tour.

SLADE – Without  doubt  one  of  the  most  exciting  bands  to  come  out  of  Great Britain in the past 30 years. With their unique blend of perfect pop-rock ‘n’ roll, outrageous  flamboyance  and  pure  fun,  and no less than 23  Top-20  singles  of which  6  were No-1  smash  hits….plus  6  smash  albums,  Slade  have  become  a firm favourite in the hearts of pop fans all over the world and now they return to Liverpool once more as part of their 2018 U.K. tour.

SLADE’S chart career has spanned 3 decades and their enduring songs Cum On  Feel  The  Noize  and  Coz  I  Luv  You are  still  featured  today  in television commercials for some of the Worlds biggest companies.

SLADE first hit the road in 1966, touring throughout Great Britain and Europe and  became  a  regular  concert  attraction.  Joining  forces  with  the  former Animals bass guitarist and Jimi Hendrix Experience manager, Chas Chandler, Slade achieved their first chart hit in May 1971 with the Bobby Marchan song Get Down And Get With It then, released in October of the same year Coz I Luv You was the bands first No-1 and a huge hit across Europe.

Throughout the seventies, Slade  became  one  of  Europe’s  biggest  bands, touring and recording continually and making regular trips to America, Japan and other parts of the world. Slade’s catalogue of hits are synonymous with the era:- Take Me Bak ‘Ome, Mama We’er All Crazee Now, Cum On Feel The NoizeGudbye  T’  Jane, along  with  the  many  others  provided  a  soundtrack to   the   Glam   Generation   and   are   still   today,  heavily featured on  any retrospective of the time.

Not  content  to  rest  on  their  Glam  laurels,  Slade  began  forging  a  new  path through  the  hugely  influential  British  heavy  rock  scene.  A  second successful appearance  at  Castle  Donnington in 1981,  before a crowd of over  200,000

2 people consolidated  the  band’s  position  and  paved  the  way for  the  single “Lock Up Your Daughters”, and the album Til Deaf Do Us Part.

The early 90s saw the bands Radio Wall Of Sound hit the U.K. Top-30 and thereby give Slade a solid 20 year chart run!

In  1993,  due  to  the  continual  demand  from  around  the  world, founder  Slade members Dave Hill and Don Powell decided to return to touring by playing a few select dates in Europe prior to embarking on what turned out to be a very successful two month tour of Australia.

SLADE have continued to tour the world.  They are firm favourites on the lucrative German festival scene and undertake an annual  U.K. “Merry Christmas Everybody” tour in December.  They also have a huge following of fans and regularly play concert  dates  in  Russia,  Poland,  Belgium,  Holland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, France and the Czech Republic.

Led by founder members Dave Hill and Don Powell, the band’s latest additions are ex Mud bass guitarist John Berry, frequently spied in the guise of the Big Issue seller in Eastenders, and new lead vocalist Mal McNulty. Mal has had an extensive career, he featured with Rockin Horse in the 70s, heavy rock band Golden Night, German rock band Hazzard, and he was a founder member of London fun-pub band, Paddy Goes To Hollyhead

Having formed The Wandering Crutchless with Tino Troy of Preying Mantis, Bruce Bisland ofSweet  and occasional guest Andy Scott, Mal  joined  Sweet  in which he eventually became lead vocalist.

SLADE today are still one of the most exciting bands on the road, and their stage performance is a dynamic, powerful and  exhilarating  roller-coaster  ride  of pure unadulterated rock’n’roll.

A date for your diary, Slade are back for Christmaaaas!
