In a galaxy far, far away, the most feared villains of space were bored one day and decided to make a heavy metal band, Galactic Empire!
If you join the dark side (it’s true, they have cookies!), then you will be rejoicing with the news that The Emperor’s favoured students Dark Vader (lead guitar), Boba Sett (drums), Bass Commander (bass), Shadow Ranger and red Guard (both guitar) are set to strike the UK this December with the aim to take it as a new colony!
As avid fans know, the rebels have proved more than a match with lightsabers, so the Empire are trying a new tact with guitars, bass and drums. All this, while performing clasic pieces from the Star Wars films sound tracks!
Guitarist Vader says; “These instruments are crude but should be adequate to shred some faces as we journey across the galaxy. We have been doubling our efforts to complete our debut full-length album in time for The Emperor’s arrival. Citizens of the United Kingdom: If you are not part of the Rebel Alliance or a traitor, prepare to be shown the true power of the dark side.”
Check out Galactic Empire performing the Star Wars theme tune below;
Support for the tour comes from lone ranger Nick Johnston and tickets for the tour can be bought here.
