Shihad have one final Australian tour on the way with new shows added to Perth, Brisbane and Melbourne featuring full album performances.
At Shihad’s new Perth and Melbourne show the band will perform ‘The General Electric’ in full. Brisbane is getting the ‘Pacifier’ album.
‘The General Electric’ was the fourth Shihad album. The 1999 released reached number one in New Zealand and number 23 in Australia.
‘Pacifier’ was the 2002 album released under the name Pacifier after Shihad briefly changed their name after the September 11 New York terrorist attack when some bright spark at their record label thought Shihad sounded too much like Jihad. Unfortunately the new name was thought through too well either. A ‘pacifier’ in the USA is what we call a ‘Dummy’ in Australia so on the new album ‘Love Is The New Hate’ they became Shihad again.
