A storm of power and energy will be unleased in Mount Maunganui next month when Kiwi legends Head Like a Hole and 8 Foot Sativa hit the stage.

Part of a 10-date national tour to celebrate the recent release of HLAH's sixth album Narcocorrido, the two bands are promising an intense show when they play Brewers Bar on Saturday, July 25.

HLAH have been a part of New Zealand's rock landscape since 1990, and there's not too many bands that can say they have been around for that long.

Released in April, Narcocorrido (Spanish for ‘drug ballad') is a marked departure from the bombastic sabbathness of 2011's Blood Will Out.

The inclusion of new bass player Simon Nichols has allowed HLAH to experiment with their song writing, while keeping it true to what they do best - massive grooves, spit and hellfire guitar, and Booga Beazley's unique vocal style holding it all together.

Raising hell with them on this tour is New Zealand's premier metal band 8 Foot Sativa, who've risen from the wild west of Auckland.

With a catalogue going back to 2002's Hate Made Me right through to 2013's The Shadow Masters, they also promise to deliver an uncompromising, raw and power-filled set for their fans.

Head Like a Hole and 8 Foot Sativa say they'll pull out all the stops to provide their own brands of unique entertainment and sets littered with new songs and all those old classics you love the most.

Head Like a Hole and 8 Foot Sativa play Brewers Bar in Mount Maunganui on Saturday, July 25. This is an R18 gig.
