Spread Eagle at The Vic, Swindon
About the show
New York hard rock legends Spread Eagle land at The Victoria for a huge night of sleaze-soaked riffs, gritty vocals and pure old-school rock ‘n’ roll energy.
Formed in NYC in 1989, Spread Eagle quickly built a reputation for their raw street-level sound, earning a major label deal with MCA/Universal and becoming one of the cult names of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s hard rock scene. With tracks like “Switchblade Serenade” and “Scratch Like a Cat”, the band carved out a loyal global following and continue to tour worldwide today.
Expect a full-throttle set packed with classic anthems, massive hooks and the kind of no-nonsense live show that made Spread Eagle a standout name alongside the golden era of American hard rock.
Joining them on the night are special guests Star Circus.
Featuring - Spread Eagle
Spread Eagle burst upon the scene playing rock that came straight from the gutter. When Paul DiBartolo (guitar) Rob De Luca (bass) and Tommi Gallo (drums) moved to New York City and met up with Ray West (vocals), East Coast Streetmetal was born.
While rehearsing/writing in a dingy East Village basement for their first gig, rumours began leaking out to the record industry. The group was immediately snatched up and signed to MCA/Universal Records, then sent straight into the legendary Record Plant studios. The self-titled debut was produced by Charlie Gambetta and featured wailing vocals and razor sharp guitar, demonstrated through songs such as "Switchblade Serenade", "Scratch Like A Cat", and "Broken City".
