Suicidal Tendencies are set to release their 'Live At The Olympic Auditorium' DVD via Suicidal Records on March 29th
They are also confirmed to headline Hammerfest 2 March 13th and their new album will be released September 2010
Since their beginnings in Venice, CA in the early 80's, Suicidal Tendencies have led the charge in the skate punk/thrash metal movement, consequently influencing an entire generation of bands along the way.
The approximately 80 minute DVD features 16 tracks including ST classics 'Institutionalized', 'War Inside My Head' and 'Possessed To Skate' and captures the band in their most natural environment; onstage, uncensored and ready to tear you to shreds.
"The band started getting emails from some crazy guy that always said, 'I know you'll probably think that I'm crazy but I wanna book ST for a show and I got this idea...'," explains frontman Mike Muir. "Well, one by one we shot down the unique ideas until one time he emailed and said the Olympic Auditorium was being bought by a Korean Church, shouldn't it be sent off with a special last gig? The band agreed and then the work began. The promoter – Evel Dick Donato who went on to win Big Brother – tells a bit about the show, making of etc on the intro. Lots of drama, none more than the day before the show when I woke up and couldn't walk. But the show must go on and the back surgery would have to wait until afterwards! Suicidal performed live at the Olympic Auditorium in front of 4,000 Cycos...but now you can enjoy it in the safety of your living room."
