                                             Marcel Bontempi and Graveyard Smash No. 2

Hi there, this is Johnny from Apache Promotions. It's been quite some time since we've seen an international act in Perth. It's always the same story, we're just too far away. So rather than waiting for them to tour to Australia and have to fly to the east coast to see them perform, we want to bring them directly to us! 

Apache's mission is to bring the best acts from around the world to our beautiful city and to keep this rockin' scene alive and well with fun, interesting and unique events. 

Apache Promotions would like your support in helping bring Marcel Bontempi to Perth for the Graveyard Smash - Rockin' Halloween Bash No. 2 in November this year. 

Marcel Bontempi is from Frankfurt, Germany and has 14 releases to his name. He's played many rock 'n' roll festivals around the world including  :

Let's Get Wild in Stuttgar

High Rockabilly in Calafell

Rockin Race in Malaga

Senigallia festival in Italy

Hangar Rockin' in Switzerland

Hemsby, UK 

Rockabilly Rave, UK

The Rocking Gone Party, France

Tours Rock'n'roll, France 

Midsummer Jamboree, Finland

Live & Jive festival, Sweden 

Nashville Boogie, Nashville

Blues at Moonlight, Malaga

With the return of Perth's very own rockin' Halloween party, the Graveyard Smash, we think Marcel and Ira Lee are a perfect fit for a spooky night of music and fun. 

With songs like "Haunted House" a '60s novelty song with the wonderful Herr Doc Puky of Ray Collins Hot Club fame on the ghost flute, Satan Is Her Name, The Clock Strikes Three, Bury All My Troubles and Witch Girl, this is a marriage made in heaven. 

If you missed last year's Graveyeard Smash, then you really don't want to miss the rockin' event of 2018! With the amazingly talented Marcel Bontempi PLUS The Graveyard Buzzards knocking out all the classics covers, this promises to be one hell of a great night. 

This is an artist you simply cannot miss!  And it's all up to us, so Apache Promotions is pushing to get Marcel and Ira Lee (guitar & vocals) to Perth, but we need your help.  

Please make a pledge to purcahse a ticket for this show. All we is around 140 pledges to make this happen. Come on Perth lets do it!!

If we don't hit 140 ticket sales, this proposed event will be cancelled and no money will be taken from your card. When you provide your credit card details, you will not be charged until the target has been hit. So grab a ticket and get ready to join Marcel Bontempi for a night of Spooky Rock & Roll songs written like no other artist.
