Chocolate Starfish will be on the road for the first half of 2023 performing Meat Loaf’s classic ‘Bat Out of Hell’.
Singer Adam Thompson says, “The first time I heard Bat Out Of Hell, I was 13 and had little musical influence outside a conservative regional radio station,” he recalls. “Bat Out Of Hell songs and Meat Loaf’s voice transported me out of that country isolation and into a fantasy world of sonic ear candy I didn’t know existed. Soaring hook-laden melodies, and adjective-filled lyrics around life, death, girls, cars and motorbikes, was everything a trapped teenaged boy could imagine outside his small world. On top of that, each song was an epic of dynamic proportions, and it shaped the theatrical and dynamic way I looked at song writing and performance ever since.”
As a special treat, the band will also release their own ‘Bat Out of Hell’ as a collectors items on vinyl for the tour.
“To have performed the Bat Out Of Hell album in full, to a packed audience at Melbourne’s Palais Theatre, was a distinctly proud moment for the band and myself,” says Adam. “Equally to have captured the magic of the energy, having the audience with us, the roller coaster of emotions the music dictates, bought everyone of my 14-year-old fan by memories to life. We have always been our best when we are ‘live’, to the vinyl release of the Bat Out Of Hell album by Chocolate Starfish is something we are sure our fans are going to relish.”
