Hilltop Hoods have recently returned to the studio to work on their new album ‘The Hard Road Restrung,’ which has seen them elevate to another level of creativity. Their Platinum selling #1 album ‘The Hard Road’ has been re-composed with the assistance of arranger Jamie Messenger, to combine with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra (ASO).
To coincide with this innovative release, Hilltop Hoods are pleased to announce that they will be launching ‘The Hard Road Restrung’ with a one-off, unique performance at Adelaide Entertainment Centre on Saturday the 12th May, performing live with a 31 piece ASO and conducted by Benjamin Northey
Presented by Nova 919, Adelaide Scene & Onion/Rip It Up, this exclusive event will be the only Hilltop Hoods performance in South Australia for 2007.
Hilltop Hoods are renowned for their onstage energy and incomparable live sets, while ASO have long been recognised for their superb artistry and youthful vitality. The union of these 2 forces live onstage will reveal a bold, dynamic experiment in combining hip hop and an orchestra – a feat rarely ventured.
The ASO excels as a dynamic, versatile orchestra and has performed with such artists as Placido Domingo , Luciano Pavarotti , Shirley Bassey, Tony Bennett, James Morrison, Dionne Warwick , Andrea Bocelli, KD Lang and Ben Folds, as well conducting ground-breaking tours to China, Hong Kong, Korea and Singapore.
This launch show extravaganza will also be supported by fellow Obese label mates Muph & Plutonic, with DJs Reflux and Shep spinning tunes and Trials of Funkoars fame will be hosting the night.
This concert is certain to be history in the making and a milestone event not to be missed by any lover of live music.
