Two decades after ALIEN ANT FARM topped the charts worldwide with their singles Movies and Smooth Criminal (#3 and #1 on Australian Charts, respectively), you still cannot visit a rock club or turn on rock radio without hearing those songs blasted; evoking joyful memories of a better time when rock music ruled the world and auto-tuned garbage was far off in the distant future.
As great as chart success may be, however, Alien Ant Farm's enduring legacy derives from the seemingly endless catalogue of incredibly crafted and equally worthy alt metal anthems such as Yellow Pages, Homage, Godlike, Glow, Forgive & Forget, Last dAntz, etc. and of course, the energy, ferocity and dedication with which they deliver those songs in a live setting.
2025 will see Alien Ant farm make their very long-awaited return to Australia for a co-headline tour with the equally iconic CKY, fresh off of their successful North American and European "CKY 25 Years" celebration touring.
CKY hoists the flag high for big, raw, authentic, earth-shaking music liberated from useless pretence. They burned it all down, with a raucous, anarchic rock sound soaked in the skate-punk culture that birthed them; and a hard-partying lifestyle onstage and off that left decimated relationships and reputations in its wake. CKY's music is a huge part of the infamous Jackass TV series as well as just about every skate and surf compilation of the era. CKY has toured the world with the likes of Metallica, Guns N' Roses and Deftones; and have seen artists ranging from The Dead South to Polyphia and Dillon Francis cover their iconic songs.
