You can’t teach experience, they say. But in funk metal pioneers Living Colour, the comparatively young Alter Bridge have some pretty decent sideshow buddies.

Creed spin-off group Alter Bridge reach Soundwave on the back of mega fourth album Fortress, the aggressive September release that has them kicking down doors all over the place. Living Colour, meanwhile, did just that back in the ’80s and paved the way for the likes of Rage Against The Machine.

The all-age Sidewave goes down at The Hi-Fi on Tuesday February 25. Tickets on sale Thursday January 23.
