Come as you are to The Pub when one tribute show recreates the performances of two of the world’s most iconic bands, The Foo Fighters and Nirvana, all in one afternoon.
Four highly experienced musicians – Clint Timothy on bass guitar, Dean with the vocals, backed by guitarist Barry, and Steve on the drums - will come together at the Airlie Beach Hotel as FooVana on Saturday, June 25.
They’ll celebrate the genius of Dave Grohl and Kurt Cobain, faithfully recreating the energy and the dynamism of Foo Fighters and Nirvana.
When they came together in 2001 to form the Australian Foo Fighters and Nirvana Tribute Show known as FooVana, they never knew they would perform over 200 live shows at venues across Melbourne and regional Victoria, as well as interstate.
These guys aren’t The Pretender, they’re the real deal, delivering a cross section of the renowned band’s material, from early Nirvana to the latest Foo Fighters, all while preserving the power and integrity of the original music.
“We’re very excited to first of all to escape the Melbourne cold, but to perform in front of a new audience in Airlie Beach will be amazing,” Clint said.
“It’s stuff we grew up on and we’re proud to bring the sing-along lyrics to new places.”
Chris said that the Airlie audience should get ready for a special set.
“This show has taken on a new direction for us, it’s not just a tribute to the bands we love, but also to Taylor Hawkins from Foo Fighters, who recently passed away,” Chris said.
“We’re keeping the spirit of both Nirvana and Foo Fighters alive.”
FooVana emulate the raw energy and emotion of the vocals, while maintaining the complexity of their pulsating rhythm and the searing power of lead guitar.
Then, on Sunday they’ll roll into the Airlie Beach Hotel as Louderfinger, delivering a hard-hitting and set from Powderfinger’s 7 albums and 18 Aria award winning songs, including My Happiness, These Days, Sunsets, On My Mind and much more.
At the end of their set, they’ll bring it all home with a carefully curated set of 90s rock classics from the likes of Pearl Jam and more.
On Saturday, June 25, FooVana will rock The Pub before they return on Sunday, June 26, as Louderfinger from 2pm – 5.30pm both days.
Don’t miss the free tribute event to some of the world’s best rockers.
