Music News: AC/DC debut #1 with first studio release in 8 years!

AC/DC’s first studio release in 8 years, Black Ice, has stormed into the National ARIA charts at #1 position with the album already certified triple platinum sales (210,000 units).

The popularity of Australia’s biggest export has never been more evident with the band clocking the biggest first week over the counter sales in Australia for the past two years!

Black Ice, the first full-length studio album of all-new material from AC/DC since the release of "Stiff Upper Lip" in 2000, was produced by Brendan O'Brien and mixed by Mike Fraser at the Warehouse Studio in Vancouver, BC. Black Ice premieres 15 new AC/DC compositions and performances including the album's first single, "Rock 'N' Roll Train," which saw unprecedented radio play across all radio formats in Australia.

18 Black Ice World Tour concerts sold out in record time when tickets went on sale for the initial round of on-sales, with shows being added in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Oakland due to unprecedented fan demand. The worldwide tour - the band's first since 2001 - promotes Black Ice, AC/DC's latest studio album.

Additional appearances throughout North and South America, Europe, Asia and Australasia, will be announced shortly.

GyroscopeMy Festival Experience
Gyroscope


I’d probably say it was earlier this year, we did a show over in Perth, I think it was a festival. The show was completely sold out & at home we were able to have heaps of friends & family, don’t get me started on the size of the guest list, but the crowd was great. To be able to rock out to so many people from our home as well as the people we know & love it was just great & that’s the stand out for me.

Ideal Lineup?
Well despite the impossibility of it I’d definitely say Nirvana. They are & were such an inspirational band of their time & even though they’re no longer around, I’d still love to see them as I missed out. Besides that, I’d love to see some bands from the 60’s & 70’s that are more melody based, such as The Beatles & The Rolling Stones, they really did great stuff & I feel the melody in music has really disappeared today. So to see bands like that play would be great.

Face artist you've seen at a Music Festival?
One that really stands out to me still is a set I caught here in Perth by The Music. They were playing the Big Day Out in Perth & I was waiting for another band to come on, but went over to the stage they were on about 25 minutes early. The set by The Music was just amazing, the passion & technique the musicians put on was amazing & to see them up in like tracksuit jackets in summer really was cool & it was just a great set.

Tips for attending a music festival?
Pretty much just sunscreen & water. As I mentioned, the place gets really hot in the afternoon & with heaps of people there, the amount of shade becomes a lot less. The water is basically just to stay cool & to survive the day & then besides that just have some booze & food if you need it & all is good.
