The Beasts announce 'Still Here' National Tour - coming to Solbar on Dec 14

Age shall not weary The Beasts, although the years may condemn. After the emotional and frankly devastating loss of their fellow footsoldiers and Australian musical icons Brian Hooper and Spencer P Jones in 2018, Tex Perkins and compadres Kim Salmon, Tony Pola, Boris Sujdovic and Charlie Owen resolved to continue carrying the torch of the unstoppable life force that is the Beasts of Bourbon. Gathering all remaining members past and present to record a set of jams and covers that became the new album Still Here, and here was proof that there was life in the old dogs yet.

The Beasts set forth, claiming monster territory on their ‘Still Here’ National tour in November/December, stopping by the Sunshine Coast to play Solbar on December 14.
