TRAGEDY: ALL METAL TRIBUTE TO THE BEE GEES & BEYOND at The Fleece in Bristol
TRAGEDY: ALL METAL TRIBUTE TO THE BEE GEES & BEYOND will be playing at The Fleece in Bristol on Friday 3 March 2017.
NYC’s Tragedy: All Metal Tribute to the Bee Gees & Beyond, is an over-the-top bombast of Disco, Metal, Glitter and Magic – the #1 Party Band.
Born out of the impenetrable divide of Disco and Metal, these six fearsome brothers fearlessly obliterated the truce line that had been set in the great Disco/Metal Peace accord of 1977 when they seamlessly blended the two genres with the debut album, ‘We Rock Sweet Balls and Can Do No Wrong’, which was a collection of Bee Gees songs redone in a heavy metal treatment reminiscent of Iron Maiden, Guns N Roses and Aerosmith. Since then, they have crisscrossed the globe with their spectacular live shows and having stormed across the USA, UK, Germany and Switzerland and at festivals incl. SXSW, Bloodstock, Rebellion and Hammerfest. Subsequent full length albums, ‘Humbled By Our Greatness’, ‘Death To False Disco Metal’ and ‘The Solo Albums’ have seen them spread their glittered wings to take on non Bee Gees classics from the disco era, soft rock anthems and party jams.
In 2015, Tragedy broke the internet with a viral video featuring their take on ‘You’re the One That I Want’ from the Grease soundtrack.
If you’re allergic to smiling be afraid… be very afraid. Tragedy sweats glitter and cums confetti!
“Camp as a row of tents, and with more hooks than hell’s cloakroom, Tragedy guarantee it.” – Metal Hammer
“Hard riffs, tight white flares, and even tighter octave-scraping harmonies…essential listening.” – The Sun, UK
“The greatest heavy-metal-meets-disco party you could possibly wish for.” – Metal Rules
“You’ll never see Danny and Sandy the same after this metal ‘Grease’ cover.” – USA Today
“Tragedy unleash their thrash chops in the most anarchistic pep rally this side of “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” The result is hilarious and arguably even more heartwarming than the original, not least for the visual pun unleashed on the line ‘it’s electrifying.'” – Billboard
“Back in the dark days of disco, the Bee Gees were the shit, despite having massive teeth, bigger hair and a falsetto only dogs could hear… with the righteous power of heavy metal, ‘We Rock Sweet Balls and Can Do No Wrong’ mixes Guns ‘N’ Roses swagger, the Scorpions’ sense of pomp and Judas Priest-esque vocals to create a sound that is exactly like The Darkness!” – Kerrang!
