Milwaukee-based BEATALLICA (a satirical mashup act whose hilarious schtick marries the songwriting prowess of the BEATLES to the deep-throated rock growl of METALLICA) and THE PUNKLES (a German band who perform songs by THE BEATLES in punk style) will be teaming up for the European “Beatles Trash Night Tour 2006” beginning in late April. The tour will include just 1 UK show schedule to take place at Camden’s Underworld club on April 26th.
BEATALLICA made headlines early last year when received help from METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich in their dispute with the Sony Corporation over BEATALLICA’s “unlawful use” of the group’s compositions “without authorization or license.” The case has since been resolved, with BEATALLICA being allowed once again to operate their web site, Beatallica.org, and continue performing their patented blend of BEATLES tunes in a METALLICA style.
