The Answer Kicks Of World Tour With AC/DC
October 28, 2008 by Scott
In Support of their November 11th Never Too Late EP and forthcoming February 16th 2009 release of their Everyday Demons LP, The Answer is heading out on tour as support act for AC/DC. I’ll be posting a review of Never Too Late in the coming week or so. Here’s a little more info on the Ireland band The Answer, who’s singer sounds to me like a cross between Robert Plant and Chris Cornell.
THE ANSWER, a rising rock band from Northern Ireland that made the “Hot List” in the latest issue of Rolling Stone, is the opening act for AC/DC’s Black Ice World Tour. The North American leg of the global itinerary launches today at the Wachovia Center in Wilkes-Barre, PA and wraps January 31 at Nashville, TN’s Sommet Center. Highlights on the road also include shows at NYC’s Madison Square Garden on November 12-13 and The Forum in Los Angeles on December 6 and 8. Rolling Stone noted, “No effing wonder AC/DC tapped these U.K. long-hairs to open on their U.S. tour: The singer howls like Paul Rodgers, the guitarist shreds like Jimmy Page and the lyrics are as awesomely stupid as ballin’ without a rubber.”
