Wild Turkey House of Music 101 proudly brings together 2 of Victoria’s iconic Punk and Ska Punk bands, 28 Days and Area 7 in one helluva party!
Best known for hits including “Rip it Up”, “What’s the Deal?” and“Sucker”, Melbourne’s own 28 Days was formed in 1997 and introduced their distinctive punk-meets-hip-hop sound to the local scene. Their popularity quickly grew and it wasn’t long until they were getting invitations to play all the big festivals around the country. The release of their second studio album Upstyledown debuted at number one on the ARIA charts and went platinum in July 2000, proving they were one of the biggest acts in the country.
Success took 28 Days abroad to countries including the US, Europe and Japan and they released an impressive five studio albums before taking a hiatus. In December 2009, 28 Days returned to the stage and began playing occasional shows, much to the delight of their die-hard fans. As they gained momentum once again, they revisited their past and toured Upstyledown in 2013, before heading back into the studio to begin working on new material.
AREA-7, Australia’s most successful Punk / Ska band with a career delivering so many amazing highlights – they’ve hit the main stage of all the major festivals, being a major player for festivals like Van’s Warped Tour, Pushover, Big Day Out, Offshore, Falls Festival, Homebake, Soundwave, Hotter Than Hell, Stone’s Corner and many more.
AREA-7 earned a reputation for being one of Australia’s hardest working bands, touring the length and breadth of the county dozens of times, including tours with their peers and major international acts like No Doubt, Reel Big Fish, The Get Up Kids, The Living End, Jebediah and Eskimo Joe.
Whilst AREA-7 has never “officially” split, the last few years has seen them taking a far more relaxed approach to live shows, playing “when they feel like it” or as they put it, “for special occasions” and its pretty special when they get to team up with old mates in 28 Days ….. So get ready to “get in the pit or get outta the way” – because the boys are back in town…
All ticket purchasers receive a complimentary Wild Turkey upon entry! What’s not to love?
