This is not a band. This is a family. This is not a tour. It’s a crusade.
After 27 years the line up of Pigface continues to excite, intrigue, frighten, and energize me with the prospects of new collaborations and new lifelong friendships. Some details I don’t fully know yet, some things are changing, but the prospect of being on stage with Charles, Lesley, and Mary again, is truly wonderful, especially with the recent accolades of our work on FOOK by Pitchfork.
Music is a powerful force and again thrusts me into new relationships with Randy Blythe of Lamb of God and Justin Pearson of The Locust. Curse’s solo career is exploding right now and it’s so good to have him celebrate onstage with us. I’ve spent so much time with Greta and grown to love her approach to the bass, and the involvement of our dear friend Gaelynn Lea is exciting to the core. It’s one thing to push the boundaries of music, but it’s quite another to wave the flag for accessibility and this makes me proud and hopeful for the future. I know there will be bagpipes, sitars, and tears of joy and pain and many old friends joining us along the way. I quote this speech from Shakespeare’s Henry V, on the inside of every band members itinerary, but let me share it with you:
“And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.”

For those of you who have no clue who they are, let me introduce you to BIKINI KILL.
Pioneers of Riot Grrrl, who have not prrrformed together live for some 20 years.
Don’t expect to get a ticket for a reasonable price though, if you can get one at all…
Three originally announced shows; two in New York in May and June, and one in Los Angeles in April, SOLD OUT immediately, and a subsequently announced second LA show, also in April has also sold out.
Unfortunately Stub Hub is now selling tickets to all shows for four times the price.
Here’s more detail.
This tiddly bloke had a great time at CES Vegas, and likely won’t even remember.
He got up on stage with Foo Fighters and swigged Champagne brought to him by Pat Smear, at the request of Dave Grohl.
He then “danced” to Faces cover “Stay with Me”
It turns out that what happens in Vegas, is less likely to stay there since social media took a hold….
John Corabi… Sammy Hagar…
Matt Walst!
At the height of their success these guys grabbed the reins of Motley Crue, Van Halen, and Three Days Grace, bringing us new memories, new meaning, and new music.
In the case of the latter, Walst is still up on stage alongside brother Brad, bringing it hard at every live performance.
Newer songs mixed with stayed favourites.
A little light banter mixed with an excellent acoustic interlude.
The last time Headbangerwoman saw Three Days Grace the crowd were bouncing off the walls at Rexall Place, Edmonton.
This show on December 12th 2018 at Shaw Conference Centre in Edmonton was a touch smaller as were some in that crowd, (a good amount of kids present) and a little less rambunctious, but the crowd were rocking the bleachers and in full support of the headliners none the less.
A young lady on the floor was spotted signing songs to her Dad.
A member of the police presence during the last 20 minutes heard to say “this was the only good song they had”…The fans quite clearly in disagreement!
A quick Shout out to Pam Kirby of 100.3 The Bear…
Also in support of this Canadian staple of rock was Texan band Nothing More. These guys are not the boys next door, rather; Rage Against the Machine meets Jim Morrison, takes a good hit of crack and streaks repeatedly in from if the elderly neighbors house!
Producing an excellent mix of headbanging noise and attitude, and sounding great as live performers whilst doing so, this band was a pleasant surprise!
Arriving a tad late Headbangerwoman caught Bad Wolves mid-way through their third last song. A heady sound with a darker vibe, the crowd went crazy when they announced that their final song Zombie had just gone double platinum, and that all proceeds would be given to the children of late Cranberries vocalist Delores O’Riordan; who was found dead in a bathtub on January 15th 2018 due to accidental drowning on the eve of recording the song with this band.
Thanks were shouted out to General Manager Rose Slanic, who was in attendance.
Sombre. Moving.
