In May 2011 legendary Venice Beach skate-punk icons Suicidal Tendencies embarked on a world first project, combining a capital city national tour of Australia, three skate exhibition demo events (featuring some of Australia’s top skaters) and the production of a CYCO new music video all in one package, to be televised nationally on Fuel TV Australia, late in 2011.
Following the recent release of their first studio album in over 10 years, the tour and events coincided with the formation of the Australian Suicidal Skate Team, consisting of some of Australia’s best underground skate talent, incorporating both veterans and fresh youth hand selected for their attitude, style and respect as well as their formidable skate skills.
The tour, shows and events will form the majority of content for the upcoming Fuel TV series that will consist of six 5-minute ‘spots’ that will culminate in a 60-minute feature episode wrapping up the series. As well as featuring all the skate and live show content from this tour, the series will also delve into the core of the band, bring never before seen footage from the last 18 months touring across Europe and the USA, rare and powerful dialogue, blistering performances from the band and skaters, all packaged into a fast paced and visually explosive presentation that is sure to become widely regarded and hailed for many years to come.
This never before attempted project will roll through the events and shows bringing the Suicidal lifestyle and reputation along with it, amazing skating and even better punk rock from the legends themselves, Suicidal Tendencies.
Not a lot needs to be said about the history and reputation associated with the band, their early rise to fame from the streets and backyards of Dogtown and their long standing career at the forefront of their game. Suicidal Tendencies have been instrumental in creating a style, sound and legacy that has influenced the lives of many hundreds of thousands of skaters and music fans the world over.
