Fresh from their huge support slot with punk legends The Damned and a successful tour of Melbourne, local legends The Bible Bashers will be gracing the stage of Badlands Bar this Saturday night. See them like you’ve never seen them before, in a show supported by Ohm Rune, Fuzztoads, The Sperts, Joanie Get Angry, Circus Carnis and Les Sataniques. Marvel at their daring theatrical stage show, a sinsational video back drop, live and wild dancers, fire, snakes, faith healing, walking on water, confessional booths and other religious gimmick infringements and showbiz trappings.
The Bible Bashers peddled their filthy brand of blues-infused rock n roll from 2008 to 2012, but split up when the sex got too weird. Fast forward to 2017 and you have a full blown revival on your hands. The band recently reunited to support The Damned and within a matter of weeks they have prepped a new album. This year they plan to release not 1 but 2 EP’s, with one already in the can from before their split. A new recording took place with Max Ducker of Cellar Sessions while on their second tour of Victoria, which will feature soon to be classics Dick Pills and Do The Whippy.
In Perth, they’re famous for their audacious, no-prisoners live performances, with comparisons made to The Cramps, The Stranglers, MC5, The Stooges and Beasts Of Bourbon. Never ones to fall back on tired formula, they’ve spiced up their gigs by recruiting impromptu choirs and female backup singers (The Bashettes) to join them on stage. They have even gone so far as to hand out their own currency (Bash Cash) and print their own ‘Prayer Book’, featuring Bashers lyrics, artwork, and comics.
The Bible Bashers are a sight to behold when in full flight, and a worthy addition to your weekend.
The Bible Bashers play Badlands Bar this Saturday, May 13 with Ohm Rune, Fuzztoads, The Sperts, Joanie Get Angry, Circus Carnis and Les Sataniques. Door open at 7PM, tickets are $15 on the door. Check out the Facebook event page HERE.
