Compressorhead added to Big Day Out lineup
Big Day Out producer Ken West, who vowed never to manage another band, is back on the bandwagon -quite literally- for our newest act Compressorhead. Known as the world's first all metal band, and by far the heaviest act on the tour, Compressorhead join the likes of headliners Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Killers on the Big Day Out main stage in 2013. Prepare for binary guitar solos.
With a dressing room stocked with Valvoline and a gaggle of screaming FemBot groupies, Compressorhead are bringing high power and high drama to Australia's premiere festival. The German trio consists of Fingers, Stickboy and Bones who Ken West says are set to deliver a live performance experience like no other act in history.
"When Stickboy debuted at BDO 2008 I knew that if he found the right musicians to work with the sky would be the limit. Stickboy's solo performance is still the most viewed youtube act performing that year including RATM. Now with Fingers and Bones by his side I believe the world debut of COMPRESSORHEAD at BDO 2013 will be the highlight not to be missed"
