Sydney band The Vanilla Chainsaws took their powerful riff-heavy rock ‘n’ roll to the rest of Australia and around the world from 1986 - 1995, and now they will return for one very special show in their hometown this November.
The band made it over to the States on the strength of their dedicated local following where they played the 1989 New Music Seminar in New York and played iconic venues like CBGBs and Maxwell’s.
If America wasn’t enough, they hit the U.K. and Germany where they recorded ‘Thousand’ with the help of then-Cosmic Psycho’s drummer Bill Walsh.
Fans in Sydney should head down to the Sando in Newtown on November 20 where the band will reform with Simon Drew, Mark Alexander, Peter Kelly and Mick Hedges in the band. Joining them will be the also newly reformed Rum Babas and Newcastle’s The Dragstrippers.
