Ska Nation, Focus Group Music and Upbeat Sounds are excited to present Japan's punk rock superstars Hey-Smith on their first ever visit to Australia. You do not want to miss one of the most exciting live bands to come out of Japan in many many years. Playing on average 150 shows a year, Hey-Smith recently completed a National tour with the iconic Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra to absolutely rave reviews. They are now finally being recognised on the International scene as a band that is simply blowing away their new-found fans!

Joining Hey-Smith are ska-punk pioneers Voodoo Glow Skulls from the USA. Formed in 1988 by the Castillas brothers Eddie, Jorge and Frank and widely accepted as the forerunners of the US ska-punk scene, their wild live shows have been idolised by fans for eons. After a hiatus from the band, lead singer Frank has returned to the fold with much fanfare,for this run of Australian shows!

Don’t miss your chance to catch these iconic bands at one unforgettable show with a legion of incredible support bands from across Australia.
