Revolution Rock – A Joe Strummer Tribute Night 2012 – Round up


So Revolution Rock is done for another year and what a bunch of shows they were! 2012 saw the tenth anniversary since Joe Strummer passed away and it was very important for us to do something big for it. Being able to do 4 shows across Aust

ralia and seeing so many people come out for the shows was amazing!One of the most important parts of the show is our involvement with the Strummerville Charity.
Strummerville do excellent work and it’s an honor to be able to assist them with their fund raising.We’re proud to announce that we’ve raised over a thousand dollars for Strummerville this year and that it will assist with their various endeavors to help young musicians and provide a positive message!Now we have a few people to thank for their great efforts this year.

Firstly to our sponsors Bombshellzine (cheers Brad!) and Hellcat Records( Ta Dave!). Thanks for all their great assistance with these shows and helping us get the word out.

To all the amazing bands who played this year – streams of whiskey, Steppin’ Razor, Sweet Teens, The Brixton Rockers, The 50 Bags, The Strums, Rise of the Rat, The Tearaways, Grand Atlantic, Ben David and The Banned and Hightime.
