Spandex 2017: A Celebration of Glam Rock
The Triffid goes glam.
Overview
Break out the hairspray — or, find your best big wig: glam rock is coming to town. Lycra, spandex, face paint, leather, ear-piercing screams and oh-so-much gyrating are all certain to be on the bill as well.
Of course, The Triffid's latest shindig might be as much about the outfits as it is about the music, but don't think the latter won't be banging a gong. At Spandex 2017: A Celebration of Glam Rock, Old Fashion, Driving Conditions, Elko Fields, Chelsea Rockwells and Hell & Whiskey will be breaking out the '70s and '80s hits come 7pm on May 12. If you love to boogie, get down and get with it.
Jumping from the style's beginnings with David Bowie and his UK cohort through to the hair rock that followed, there'll be plenty of glam goodness. Guns N' Roses, Mötley Crüe, Queen, Van Halen, Skid Row, Twisted Sister, The Darkness, Poison, Sweet, Warrant and Joan Jett will all pop up on the playlist, so, like Axl once shouted, you'll be taken down to paradise city.
