They are geniuses. Gods maybe.&quot;- NME</p><p style="text-align: center;">Ireland&rsquo;s favourite power pop trio, Ash, finally return to Australia and New Zealand to Celebrate the 30^th Anniversary of their iconic debut album, &lsquo;1977&rsquo;, by performing the album in full. Released in 1996, the album&rsquo;s title references both the decade the band members were born in and the year Star Wars first hit cinemas.</p><p style="text-align: center;">&lsquo;1977&rsquo; has sold more than 2 million copies worldwide and was written, recorded and released when most of Ash were still only 19. A cinematic punk-pop soundtrack to binge drinking, chasing girls, youth and frustrated adolescent idealism, the album fused power pop, glam rock, post-grunge and Britpop into a loud, melodic and exuberant sound.</p><p style="text-align: center;">It struck a chord with the hearts, minds and hormones of a generation of like-minded teens, delivering a run of singles including &ldquo;Girl From Mars&rdquo;, &ldquo;Kung Fu&rdquo;, &ldquo;Angel Interceptor&rdquo;, &ldquo;Goldfinger&rdquo; and &ldquo;Oh Yeah&rdquo; &mdash; all of which reached the UK Top 20 and helped cement Ash&rsquo;s reputation.</p><p style="text-align: center;">The 30th Anniversary Celebration of &lsquo;1977&rsquo; will give Ash fans the chance to relive the album that featured &ldquo;hit after honey-topped hit&rdquo; and Britpop ruled the airwaves. Oh yeah!<br><br><span class="fr-video fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QAGAloqZ_6M?wmode=opaque" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0"></iframe></span></p>
