CLASH-A-RAMA

Having previously presented tributes to Bowie, Elvis, Kylie and the 80's, BANG mainman DJ Ian Bell is happy to present a celebration of one of his favourite bands THE CLASH!

"The Clash at Thebby Theatre was one of the best concerts I have ever seen in my life," says Ian "Strummer put me on the guest list and they were electrifying and an absolute powerhouse and played for over three hours. After the house lights went up not one person left they hooted and hollered for more and Strummer and co kept coming back for encore after encore. they have so many fantastic songs to choose from CLASH-A-RAMA is going to be awesome" On WEDNESDAY JULY 27th ten bands will be performing their favourite Clash songs at

CLASH-A-RAMA at JIVE (181 Hindley St, City).

"The thing that has been great about these A-RAMA events is the sense of fun, both for the bands and the audiences. The bands are really enthusiastic and often turn in fantastic versions of songs that everybody loves. As most of the bands learn the songs especially for the night , it's often the only time you'll ever hear those bands doing those songs. This time we even have a band that has formed just to play this show".

The line-up was hotly contested for this one with Ian almost having to beat bands off with a stick. Playing on the night are The Ramonettes, Central Deli Band, The Fleck Allstars, The Saucermen, The Big Band, Kamikaze, Everest and Tunnel Visionaries, plus a few surprises. Each band plays three songs, and in between you'll hear Clash favourites, remixes, rarities and covers from your Radio Clash DJ's Ian, Rah and Old School Andy.

Admission is $5 at the door and proceeds go to Three D Radio.
Doors are at 8pm.
