Quiet Riot to headline Metal Health tour

There will be little choice but to feel the noize in May when three hair metal heavyweights from the 80s get together for a show at the Powerstation on May 2.

Headlined by Quiet Riot, the Los Angeles band best known for their 1983 hit Cum On Feel the Noize, the triple bill Metal Health tour also includes Sunset Strip glam metallers Warrant and the Guns N' Roses-linked L.A. Guns.

While all three bands were at their peak in the 80s, these spandex wearing lads with the big hair never really went away, apart from a few breaks and line-up changes here and there.

Well, Quiet Riot have undergone some drastic changes, with only drummer Frankie Banali and bass player Chuck Wright remaining from the Metal Health album era (which Cum On Feel The Noize was featured on), but hopefully the hair, the make up, and high notes will be just as beautifully garish as they were back in the day.

Tickets are on sale now from Ticketmaster.

Meanwhile, modern-day, soul-singing hurricane Eli Paperboy Reed and his band head to New Zealand for the first time to play Galatos in Auckland on April 29 and Wellington's Bar Bodega, April 30.

With his distinctive shark-fin quiff and penchant for stylish suits, he will be dishing out some of his hard-strutting songs off last year's Come And Get It album.
