Since 1999 To Hell and Back have been rocking stages all over the country with their Meatloaf tribute act.
But this time, they are coming to the Airlie Beach Hotel. The band has undergone a few changes over the years, but the current lineup has been performing together for the past 13 years.
During this time the band have developed a strong chemistry and stage presence over this time creating an extraordinary Meatloaf tribute act. The band have gelled together over the years and Bass Player and Manager of the band Tom Travica, says if you close your eyes it’s like hearing the actual Meatloaf perform.
He said this is due to the frontman Gary and female lead Deb.
“He's got that tone and sound of meatloaf, it's uncanny really and our female lead has an amazing rock voice and is a great talent on stage,” said Tom.
“She really loves playing up there with Gary.”
Tom also expressed how the show is extremely interactive.
“It's a very interactive show, they'll jump out into the audience and get them involved,” he explained.
“They’ll go right out into the crowd, Gary might sit on the lap of some girls or Deb will grab onto a good-looking bloke and sing to him.”
Fans can expect a full-throttle trip through Meatloaf’s biggest hits, including every track from the iconic 1977 Bat Out of Hell album, including Paradise by the Dashboard Light, Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad, and You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth.
They also throw in a few songs from later albums including Dead Ringer and I’d Do Anything for Love to keep diehard fans happy.
What sets this tribute act apart from the rest is the attention to detail in creating the most authentic show possible.
Tom said they use no backing tracks, everything is live, and they also rehearsed the show for six months before debuting. They wanted the show to be perfect.
This will be the band’s first time bringing the Meatloaf show to town.
“I’ve told the band be prepared to be amazed,” added Tom.
“The atmosphere and environment are absolutely beautiful up there.”
With years of experience and standout performances at festivals and major events, the band has seen fans of all ages attend their shows.
“We have people anywhere from 18 to 80 come and see the show, and it's surprising seeing the young ones singing along with all the songs, I think wow I wouldn't have expected them to know these songs,” said Tom.
Tom’s message to Airlie Beach locals and visitors is simple, go along and see the show. From the first song you’ll be up dancing, singing and partying with the band and nobody leaves disappointed.
The Meatloaf tribute show will be a night to remember at the Airlie Beach Hotel, delivering a full-tilt rock experience that’s as authentic as it is entertaining.
